Not good for low-carb/keto eaters. Soy has carbs, chicken doesn't. There has been some discussion regarding subway and carbs in the chicken, because their nutrition shows far fewer than some app trackers do. If it's 50%, that's a serious level of carbs, and makes Subway not an option.
What would make a better protein "filler" for mechanically-separated chicken? Almonds?

> Bread is really terrible for you Maybe for some people. But we don't have the nutritional science to say this definitively, let alone universally.
And let me just note that what the English-speaking world considers bread is an abomination. Sincerely, a German. (Seriously, if you can compact it easily to a third of the size, that's just wrong. And don't get me started on the strange interior.)
That said, I'd love to find a decent schwarzbrot near Belmont..

Yeah...I don't see too much to be outraged about here. If you want to be upset about adding soy to the chicken you eat, be upset about the soy they add to the chicken before they kill it. Soy isn't part of the natural diet for chickens, so feeding it to them means also feeding them antibiotics. If anything, lowering the percentage of chicken that's raised in that way would make it healthier.
I think there's still something to be outraged about if they are selling "chicken" that is only 50% chicken. When they advertise something called "oven roasted chicken", it should be nearly all chicken.
Marketing trust is out the window; if it doesn't explicitly say its 100% fresh whole-piece chicken, cooked today, it might as well be meatloaf or McDonald's "shakes"
Think about it. If this tastes ok it might be a really easy way for everyone to become 50% vegetarian with no effort.

Who on a low carb / keto died eats a sandwich ?
I will often order a hamburger and leave the bun aside. The bun is just filler. I've done the same with other kinds of sandwiches.

Still, essentially American bread is just bread, that is, made almost entirely just from flour, water, yeast, and salt. Maybe the main difference is that with machines the dough is kneaded a lot and, then, permitted to rise (have the yeast grow) a lot. Commonly can also get wheat bread that has some whole wheat flour and typically is not quite so soft on the inside.
One reason for white flour instead of whole wheat flour is that white flour keeps and whole wheat flour, with the wheat germ and its oil, will go rancid. IIRC early on, white flour was considered a luxury item because it was easier and cheaper just to grind whole wheat. Recently there are claims that whole wheat is better nutritionally, e.g., has more fiber, whatever the heck that is, is less of a shock to blood sugar, and has some nutrients missing from white flour.

Tough crowd! I'm not going to get too detailed here, I'll let you do your own research: -Hormone disruption from the lack of useable amino acids and 'bad cholesterol' from which your body cannot properly create/maintain cellular function (immune system, endocrine system, gene expression.) Alternatively, with healthy fats and saturated fats from unprocessed red meat, including the good balance of proper amino acids, f…
1. Yes, bad things happen when you don't have enough of all the amino acids. That's malnutrition. That would only matter if you ate soy and only soy. 2. Not all pesticides, just some, but yes that's true. But that's not specific to soy, it's specific to all crops. And crops are washed, you generally don't get significant doses of pesticides in your food. 3. The whole microflora mental health connection science is in…
The larger point-of-view I'm coming from is the fact that more and more of our foods (and food options) are becoming processed in irresponsible ways contributing to a more widespread malnutrition issue not far in the future. The population is overworked and sleep habits are becoming increasingly worse, both contribute to a reduction in neuroplasticity, for example; ultimately having a significant impact to the populations health.
All things considered it's very possible our medical science innovation falls behind the rate of increase of many diseases. This, in the future, may be directly attributed to irresponsible food industry practices happening right now. Throw that on-top of a huge unemployment wave that may happen in the future from automation, and you have significant increases in socioeconomic costs to any given country.
Thanks.

Well, if I can believe this [1], then hidden carbs in chicken is not the only thing keto eaters have to worry about. [1] https://bengreenfieldfitness.com/2011/08/the-hidden-dangers-...
