Machines? do they suck at separating chickens?

[XBoxWarrior]

Ok, so this is NOT rocket fueled techno....

But I bought me some chicken at Wally's (Wal-Mart for u furineers) and the machine just seems to bust up some bones. Not that the chicken will care, as she/he was dead when entering the machine.

However, my kids are concerned......"who broke the leg Daddy"?......"Why is the leg bone in pieces"?.......you get the picture.

Can't Wally get a better machine to 'separate' the chicken?

Scientists?

Come on, do we really need to pay humans to cut up my 'Yardbirds', so my kids will just sing, "I feel like chicken tonight". (old ad)

p.s. I have no children, just hate the broken bones....:rolleyes:

Sure. First assume a spherical chicken. I think you want engineers and even they would rather you first standardised the chicken.

I once worked in a chicken processing plant, and I was pretty impressed by how well the giant machine (Baader 642, if I recall) handled all the different shapes and sizes of chickens. Skin would fall out the bottom into one container, legs in another, and another for wings. The breasts would drop on a conveyor belt with about 15-20 people on the line, trimming and deboning. Sometimes a mangled chunk of bone and flesh would drop down, not any discernible cut. Maybe it was a funky shaped chicken, or maybe the human responsible for loading the machine put the carcass on at the wrong angle.

I wish I could have seen what went on within the big robot. Also, I'm glad I never got my arm caught in it when I was the loader. Are you sure it was crushed up chicken bones in your meat?
