Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Typically, white meat is actually more expensive because it's in higher demand. There's more breast meat on a typical chicken than there is leg meat, mainly because we've bred chickens to have much larger breast than they did historically, because most people prefer white meat.
Now I'm not arguing that dark meat is better or worse, both parts serve different purposes in a dish. Texture is an important factor to consider, and chicken legs are full of connective tissues and cartilage that can be quite off-putting to many people. For a broth, or just eating from a roast chicken, it makes sense to go with the legs, but for something where texture or the size of the pieces matters more, the breast is usually preferable. You don't make Chicken Kiev with legs, for example.
That's incorrect. It's not "in demand". It's simply what's offered. Yes, there's obviously more meat in a certain area of the chicken. It's usually called the breast.
Let me stop you right there.
I'm in no need of education regarding how chicken is "chopped up" financially. No offense there, don't wanna come off rude. My bad. You're basically saying what I already know and we both basically agree on.
The "texture" thing varies from one person to another. Let that go.
Nothing you've said invalidated my original unpopular opinion.
