Student's horror as he finds 'wrinkled' organ inside his chicken
#42
案山子 Wrote:Throes, just stop. You seem to be incapable of putting yourself in the guy's shoes since apparently you keep going on about how it would be the greatest gift in the world to find a random, uncooked organ in your cereal without being able to see that there isn't a damn way this guy could have known what the FUCK he was biting into - and in a place that doesn't even serve pieces of animal like this. Period.

It's a big deal because it shows how unchecked a lot of our food is and just about anything can slip into that cheeseburger you're chowing down on. Replace the organ with drugs; a dead rodent; a finger. It's the problem of ''sometimes random pomegranate is put into that Happy Meal you just got, kid''. True, it turned out to be a part of a chicken, but if it wasn't? Again, how could you have known immediately what this organ is or where it came from?

And then we need to take a step back from this and consider how this malfunction could have happened. What likely happened? Something was off in the cutting-up-into-bits process and an organ showed up where it shouldn't have. Somebody didn't sneak up and drop a dirty needle into it. This was something that fits cleanly into a margin of error. It's something that's not easy to prevent 100% of the time. It's not something that can be prevented by following standard health codes and decent security measures in a factory. This kind of thing is going to happen. The only way to stop this would be to dig through every piece of chicken to make sure that there's no organs inside. Anomalies happen, and trying to prevent them costs far, far more than it's worth.

Yeah, it sucks that this kid got the bad piece in the entire bunch. It's something that happens. I've been there. We've found a piece of chicken with what we eventually concluded was probably a tumor. Were we grossed out? Hell yeah, it was nasty. A little hard bunch of something in a piece of chicken breast. Gross. I still eat chicken because I understand that what we found was a rare thing, and I still enjoy it. I mean, if this kid's grossed out enough that he doesn't want KFC anymore that's fine, it's his choice, but him being the lucky winner of the Organ Wing doesn't mean there's a fundamental flaw within the food production industry.

Not to say that there's no problems within food production, I can't say if there is because I don't know enough about it, but I do know that this is probably more like finding the green potato chip than it is finding a needle in your burger.
