Is it normal to prefer chicken on the bone?

At the store, I always buy chicken still with the skin and on the bone. That was how everyone once bought chicken in the meat department before they started processing it into selling it boneless and skinless. I don't know if anyone else has noticed but I find that chicken tastes better from packages still on the bone with the skin, that's when it's still in its more natural state. I think when they skin and debone it, they add other fillers and do something where they rob a little of the natural flavor out of it. Also, it taste better on the bone with the skin because of the skin itself. And it's cheaper. Some people may just be paying a little extra for the boneless because they can't be bothered anymore to remove the meat off the bones themselves, I think. And alot of people prefer the chicken skinless because of less animal fat, but animal fat is not the danger to heart health anymore people thought it was like 20 years ago. Now, transfats are the enemy, and the wrong types of carbs.

    while elevated cholesterol never has correlated to increased heart disease many witch doctors still prescribe statins because of the lower incidence of dying after heart attack, statins have a secondary anti-inflammatory effect. so does aspirin. the cholesterol itself is protective acute phase reactant and increases with chlorinated water consumption . smoking and free radical production, Basically the witch doctor is treating a molecule (cholesterol) that help you survive coronary artery disease

    both trans fat and PFU =polyunsaturated fatty acids are of medical concern. Human stored fat =medium chain fatty acids appear to me safe as transporting a few hundred pounds of it via blood while losing weight has no health risk. never ask a doctor or a nutritionist what to eat. they had their chance and nearly killed everybody,

    i stopped buying skinless chicken so long ago i cant remember. i just consider the fat in the skin to be a healthy fat unlike seed oils that are know to cause heart disease and are slowly being banned , right now corn is converted to to ethanol because the crop is responsible for mercury toxicity in corn syrup. the oil although contains no cholesterol will increase the amount in circulation.

      I wasn't sure if vegetable oils were that unhealthy, as long as you kept it limited. Unless the oil is hydrogenated, then it becomes transfats and that is bad. To avoid transfats, just stay away from most processed foods; store bought snack cakes, potato chips, processed dinners in the frozen food section, things like fish sticks, pizza rolls, etc., things like boxed mac and cheese, etc.

      It's actually healthier for your heart to eat bacon, steak with fat not trimmed off, chicken with skin, together with fresh steamed vegetables and whole grain rice or pasta (the right carbs) than it is to eat fat free chicken, beef, etc. with white bread, rice, or pasta (the wrong carbs) and any of the things with transfats that I listed in my first paragraph. Also, those so-called healthy choice or diet dinners are processed (not to mention they are hardly tasty) and usually have a few grams of transfats, usually around 3 grams and that's considered low fat, but it's transfats. A fatty steak or bacon has a much higher amount of fat, but none of it is transfats, it's animal fat which isn't nearly as bad.

      My grandmother loved eating fatty steaks and bacon, and she lived to be 94. You know why? Because with her fatty meat, she would only eat vegetables, pure unprocessed whole grains, and fruit. She never liked processed foods and said that they were all crap, additives, and fillers. And that's where all the transfats and the bad carbs are. Avoiding that's the real way for a healthy heart and longevity.

    You have good reasons for preferring that. Even if you didn't, it's just a preference. Completely normal.
