A mother was completely in sh0ck 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 Facebook post that shows the raw chicken she was washing, coming apart in her hands.
“I think it’s that fake meat,” she writes on her now viral post, that’s inspiring online users to go vegan.

Alesia Cooper from Irving, Texas, shared a disturbing photo of a chicken breast protesting its future position on a dinner plate on March 21.
Cooper writes: “I been debating on posting this but since I had to see it so do yall.” The post, which also shows an image of chicken shredding into spaghetti-like strands, continues: “I 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).”
The mother of two, who shares she purchased the chicken breast from the budget supermarket Aldi, adds: “lol I think it’s that fake meat but I’m not sure anyways…I ain’t made chicken off the bone since.”
Netizens jumped into the comments section, offering their opinions on the matter, some suggesting the chicken was 3D printed or grown in a petri dish.
“That’s lab grown chicken, it’s a new way they make chicken because of the last few years with the bird flu and resource shortages they didn’t have produce so last year they announced that they found a way to make chicken in a lab and that’s what’s in stores now.”, one argues.
“GMO lab meat,” writes another.
A third decides it’s “fake i don’t buy it anymore.”
Another user offers a more logical explanation to the shredded chicken breast: “It’s 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.”
Bigger breasts
According to The Wall Street Journal, along with hard, chewy meat called “woody breast,” “spaghetti meat” 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.
“There is proof that these abnormalities are associated with fast-growing birds,” Dr. Massimiliano Petracci, a professor of agriculture and food science at the University of Bologna in Italy, tells the WSJ.
“Woody breast” and “spaghetti meat” might sound unsettling, but according to industry experts, eating them won’t hurt you.
But it will hurt the chickens, whose big bodies are too large for their little legs to hold.
