Most packages of cut chicken you buy at the grocery store has "up to 2% solution" or whatever injected into it these days too. They don't tell you what that is.

Is that still chicken? The only way to know is butchering one yourself.

If one thing is fake, so are the rest, its more like sensational reporting to me. Lazy reporting.

Reminds me of the pink gloop they "discovered" through their fearless investigative reports, only to find consumers don't give a hoot.
Actually, consumers did give a hoot> ABC's Lawsuit Is A Reminder That We're Still Eating 'Pink Slime' | HuffPost

" ABC is facing a defamation trial for its exposé of “pink slime” from 2012. The network reported that pink slime (referred to in the industry as “lean, finely textured beef,” or LFTB) was found in up to 70 percent of all ground beef sold at most major grocery stores ― as well as in America’s fast food and school lunches. The story caused the LFTB industry to tank."

You are 100% correct, but the person to whom you were responding was talking about "peices" of "canadien" bacon, and whatever that might refer to, I suspect that it may be very different from pieces of Canadian bacon.

No, that's only the flash frozen type of chicken in the plastic bags. There is uninjected chicken readily available.

Correct. Or, don't b.tch or be surprised about what you find as food. You chose to go to eateries - get what you deserve.
Reminds me of one Louis Farrakhan. He said "Back in time, you lived with your family. Your grandmothers cooked for entire family. They kne what they cooked and you knew what you eat".
But "who gives a hoot" right? If going out became a must in American family and the only question is not what to eat, but where to eat.

Finally!! I cannot eat Subway because the meat just doesn't even come close to lookin like meat. And their hygiene issues appear questionable in many locations. On many a road trip through a small town (there is ALWAYS a Subway) I have wished I could eat there.

I know what you mean. Subway is really in the lowest tier of chain sandwich fast food places and they will open in unfashionable places other chains won't go that lack strong consumer demographics.

Personally, it would be near the bottom in my choices of eating place, and I would only go there if I were in really small towns with no better homegrown or chain options. Though I've never had anything that's totally disgusting from there, I've never had anything that's really good, either. It's been consistently in the sub-par but not awful, mediocre range for me.

Togos is much better imo. In the tier list of sandwich places subway is probably the lowest if not very low. But thats just subways in the US, I've been to subways in other countries and its actually decent to pretty good depending on where you are/type of menu they have.

If you're near one, Sheetz actually does quite a nice job at a quick sub. Pretty much my standard go to place when I'm on the road. Prices are roughly the same, maybe a bit higher.

Much like they were sued for their bogus story they created about the Food Lion chain. Another case that they lost.
