  - nmbfox - amanda jones Oct 19, 13:01 6
    - i do. (but why would they have one called "big"? "large" sounds like the official catalog name, but people who need the "big" one, dubbed it "big".) -- nm - TFox Oct 19, 13:02 5
      - this, exactly, was my thinking. - Frankenstandie Oct 19, 13:05

- It is definitelya selling point to me. I think dark meat is disgusting. -- nm - kelly Oct 19, 13:07
- [deleted]
- not me. -- nm - peglegpete Oct 19, 13:03
- I've eaten white meat so exclusively that now dark meat is unpalatable. -- nm - nubby Oct 19, 13:03
- years ago (70s? 80s?) it became common knowledge that white meat was supposed to be healthier than red meant. - loosilu Oct 19, 13:00 1
  - DAMN the chicken lobby! -- nm - nubby Oct 19, 13:04

- i think, in general, yes, more people prefer white meat. it may not make sense, but i believe there is a preference - Frankenstandie Oct 19, 12:57
- Because your taste buds are wrong -- nm - kilbooooo Oct 19, 12:55 1
