Mom shares shocking photo of chicken breast that turns into spaghetti strands
A Texas mother was completely stunned when the poultry she was preparing for dinner separated into stringy pieces of spaghetti.
Explaining pasta was not on the menu that night, the mom shared a social media post showing the raw chicken she was washing, coming apart in her hands.
âI think itâs that fake meat,â she writes on her now viral Facebook post.
On March 21, Alesia Cooper from Irving, Texas, shared a disturbing photo of a chicken breast protesting its future position on a dinner plate.
The mother of two writes: âI been debating on posting this but since I had to see it so do yall.â The post, which also shows an image of chicken shredding into spaghetti-like strands, continues: âI was cooking my kids dinner a couple of weeks ago and was cleaning my meat like I normally do and when I went back to start cooking it turned into this (SIC).â

Cooper, who shares she purchased the chicken breast from the budget supermarket Aldi, adds: âlol I think itâs that fake meat but Iâm not sure anywaysâŠI ainât made chicken off the bone since.â
Online users jumped into the comments section, offering their opinions on the matter, some suggesting the chicken was 3D printed or grown in a petri dish.
One argues: âThatâs lab grown chicken, itâs a new way they make chicken because of the last few years with the bird flu and resource shortages they didnât have produce so last year they announced that they found a way to make chicken in a lab and thatâs whatâs in stores now.â
âGMO lab meat,â writes another.
A third decides itâs âfake I donât buy it anymore.â
Another user offers a more logical explanation to the shredded chicken breast: âItâs not lab-grown meat or 3D printed meat. It comes from real chickens. The problem is when greedy chicken producers force-feed their chickens growth hormones so they grow way too fast.â
Bigger breasts
The Wall Street Journal reports that along with hard, chewy meat called âwoody breast,â âspaghetti meatâ is allegedly the result of breeding to make big-breasted chickens grow faster.
So, there is more meat per bird and more profit to be made.
âThere is proof that these abnormalities are associated with fast-growing birds,â Dr. Massimiliano Petracci, a professor of agriculture and food science at the University of Bologna in Italy, tells the WSJ.
âWoody breastâ and âspaghetti meatâ might sound unsettling, but eating them wonât hurt you, according to industry experts.
But it will hurt the chickens, whose big bodies are too large for their little legs to hold.
