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.

    No, it's cheating the customer. Just one more reason why we should all rise up and kill every single MBA on the planet. Destroying the planet outright, and progressively feeding us *less* and *less* actual food that we *THOUGHT* we were paying for. This is just inequality furthering itself. Before, you could work a job and obtain actual food for your family and secure a future for them. Now, it's just slave wages and you're feeding your children nasty fillers while being 48 hours away from homelessness, one job lost away from medical care, and living on the edge.

    How the fuck is this any different than putting YUM nutritious and healthy sawdust in the hamburgers? Or China finding merchants feeding their comrades meat buns made mostly out of cardboard (wet nasty shit with rat feces) and a little pork grease with some pork bits?

    There was a study that compared the genetics across demographics and found that poor minorities had dramatically shorter telomeres than their healthier upper and middle upper class citizens living in the same country. Not some lamentation that the rich really do have it better, but actual concrete proof that not only do they live on our backs, but IT HURTS US WHILE THEY DO IT. Why do those evil worthless fuckers get to live a long healthy life, and not some wage slave?

    So let's call this what it is: The MBAs need more money for themselves and the only way to squeeze more out at this point is to cheat us. It's not like everyone can eat steak in the future. That will be reserved for the Owning Classes.

    If this was for a good reason, it would be fucking advertised and not hidden. It's hidden like this precisely because the executives (may they all die brutally and burn in hell) know exactly what they're doing. They're treating us like cattle not deserving of the human dignity they reserve only for themselves.

    If we had any luck today, about 1% of the planet would drop dead.
