According to the CBC [Canadian Broadcasting Corporation], researchers at Trent University sampled both the oven roasted chicken filets and the chicken strips that Subway uses on its sandwiches in Canada. After testing six small samples of the filets and three small samples of the strips, the researchers ran a DNA test.

The results showed that the filets contained just 53.6 percent chicken DNA. The strips were found to contain just 42.8 percent chicken DNA.

CBC reports that the rest of the DNA found in the chicken was soy — used either for either seasoning or filler.

    Yeah, that's also the reason to not completely stop eating meat. However, I know there are viruses that very stable, only one needs to slip through somewhere to get you infected.

    If your immune system is so bad that it already is unable to cope with a single virus, you'd better hide in some sterile environment.

      If you're looking for places to go, I hear the moon is fairly sterile. However, you probably want to bring a dust mask or a HEPA filter or two as you may discover that you're allergic to the moon dust. (it would not surprise me in the least if lunar dust has the same side effects as asbestos)

        FWIW, one of the astronauts was allergic to moon dust...the geologist.

        Probably not something they were thinking about when they designed their protocols.
