Brown meat is much much more delicious; why would anyone prefer white meat is beyond me.

And the irony is that, in buying "heavy breasted chicken", customers pay for something they can't consume (assuming chicken is priced by the pound in the US).

This is true, in Ukraine we called imported chicken legs "Bush's drumsticks" (referring to Bush Sr.)

This is because legs are not in as much demand in the US, so they would rather export them to countries where they are in demand!

They're called "red meats" and while i agree with you that white meats are generally tastier, some dishes lend themselves better to white meats than red.

Brown/dark meat refers to the leg, thigh, etc.

Maybe because studies in the past two years suggest that red meat is actually quite dangerous with frequent consumption.

Brown meat refers to poultry's legs, it's different from red meat (beef). I'm not aware of any study that shows brown meat to be more dangerous than chicken breasts?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I did not know that. Thank you for the correction.
