Apart from the fact that the chicken breast is the most important part and is often pumped with water and chemicals to hold it all together in those sorts of products?
There was a programme on the BBC once about food. After seeing what happened to chicken and other types of meat to get the most out of it, I think I'd rather eat none than fill my body with crap like that.
Then there is the packaging that costs money, the trays of fresh chicken in supermarkets can't be recycled most of the time either. The list is endless with problems, which is why I prefer fresh products from the butcher and the market.
And recipes, that are cheap, i.e. not full of expensive herbs and spices and made with simple wholesome ingredients, that I can live off.
I never said I was being cheap, just that I want it to be cheap i.e. reasonable, because I said I like eating bloody salmon and that isn't what students normally class as cheap, but I want it to be efficient in that I can make the most out of it.
For example, I can make two meals out of a shepherds pie made with good, basic ingredients and it lasts. Bolognese and chilli can be frozen. It's just boring eating them all the time.
