Have anyone else experience this: You try to stir fry chicken. You have only added oil and the chicken, but the frying pan is filled with water and the stir fry becomes kinda like a stew.
I knew that it is a common practice for the food industry to pump water into their meat. But the amount of water that came out of my organic chicken was just unacceptable. I have paid so much for the chicken and I got so much water with it ('organic' water, I hope!)
So I did some research and found that in some meat products, up to 40% of the meat's weight can be water. I may very well be the person who pays 40% more for my meat.
More interestingly, I found that the industry has, up to late 2003, use beef or pork protein to bind-in the water to chicken meat. So what if my religion forbids me to eat beef or pork??? Some corporations just have no morals at all.

Make chicken soup instead of stir-fry... Then you'll never know how much water came from the chicken *grin*
