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.

    The relationship I have to my food is I'm a rich capitalist white male buying it with money made out of tasty refined tears of multi generational oppression, which is different from a relationship consisting primarily of posting pix of it to instagram and pintrest for the "likes". Like Gene Hackman portraying Lex Luthor as compared to Zooey Deschanel portraying her only character (if she has more than one I haven't seen it, but I don't watch much TV, so ...).

    Money spent on good food is never wasted. Like that old saying about tools, it only hurts to pay for good food once, in the checkout lane, but you'll regret every penny you spent on garbage food several times. Not just WRT food poisoning either.
