Amen to that!

I'm thankful that my hubby is awesome! Thankful that my kids are healthy and that I have wonderful friends and family.

All this thankfulness is making me want turkey with all the fixins. And I prefer my cranberry sauce to be in the shape of the can.

Doods, yes, about the chicken - American factory farm chicken is the absolute worst. It is PUMPED w/ hormones & steroids (not to mention antibiotics and other crud) to make it bigger faster... Isn't that just the American way *WE WANT IT BIGGER AND WE WANT IT YESTERDAY!*

That being said, haven't you noticed all the children coming up in the last 20 or so years who are growing ginormous breasts at the age of like 12? Where do you think that's coming from, eh? It's all the flipping hormones & steroids pumped into our food. Why do you think viruses are getting harder to fight? Antibiotic resistant from all the flipping antiobiotics we consume in our food!!!

Solution??? Go mostly veggie and eat organic free range (antibiotic, hormone & steriod free) meats.

That being said, I wish I could 100% follow my rant... yeah, I pick up the boneless skinless breasts and tenders at Sam's Club too.

For me halal is much more than just the method of slaughter. It's just as imporant (if not more important) how the animal is treated while it is raised.

Hang in there Noura. I struggled for years to be totaly free from the hormone, steroid and antibotic meats and it was always so tempting to choose convenience (and I did many times). If you want to get there you can, but in the mean time don;t be so hard on yourself when you pick up that bag at sam's. Eating one meal a week is better than none at all.

Hm....I never attibuted big breasts on children to hormones in chicken, but you may have a poin tthere. I just never thought of it like that or never really took much notice.

What I hate is how the halal places in Boston like to jack up prices on boneless skinless breasts which is what I always get. A pound or so costs $6 last time I bought it. I stopped buying it and went back to getting it at Shaws or Market basket if I've got time to go. I'm on a budget here and can't afford to be ripped off ya know:/

Are the halal places in NYC better to buy from cost wise? I'm thinking maybe when habibi comes back, we can go maybe once a month to NY and whle there, shop at a halal store and just stock up on a months worth of meat or something.

The good news for me anyways is taht my husband is not fanatical about halal meat or anything. He does not like that they rip us off at the halal stores either. So at least he's not picky:) But if he read fast Food Nation, I bet he maybe would be more picky:)

anyways you know those whole chickens that you get at the stores? The small ones....they are cheapest in price I think. But how much meat can you actually get off of them? And are they de-gutted? Never bought one before but I want to learn how to roast whole chickens like the arabs do because they do it the best I ever had!

You can usually ask the butcher (or the people working the meat counter) to cut the whole chicken you want to buy. They can cut it into as many pieces as you want.

I buy my chicken from a local farmer at a week-end market. It's not cheap either. Last week I bought a 2.5 pound chicken for $14. BUT the price tends to keep us honest wbout how much meat we eat in one meal. $14 got us 4 meals and I used the back to make homemade broth for soup. (so technically 5 meals?)
