Democracy Must Rule

I hereby motion to change the name of this blog from SFChicken to SFMustache. I don't like chicken and all of the arteries, veins, tendons, skin and fat that you must knaw through to get a measly nasty piece of soggy meat. When you eat a steak for example, you are eating a muscle. When you eat a chicken you are literally eating a piece of chicken (like a leg, wing, etc.) Would you want to knaw through the leg of a nasty cow, having to scavenge your way through the fur, skin, fat, fascia, arteries, veins, nerves just to get the same kind of meat that butcher can cut for you eliminating all of the drama? I'd rather eat a horse (if it was butchered properly) than a chicken. And back to the point, this site has much more to do with mustaches anyways.

Although you are technically correct, I have just locked us into the domain name sfchicken for 2 years, so the name stays.

When you eat chicken, you eat muscle, just like when you eat cow (or horse). You might get veins on the side, but that's true of cow too. Specifically, white meat is composed mostly of Fast-twitch fibers and dark meat is slow twitch fibers. Fast-twitch are faster, but they fatigue easily. Slow-twitch aren't as fast, but they can go a long time. Dark meat is dark because there is a ton of blood in there to keep glucose going to the cells so that the muscles can work without the buildup of lactic acid. Chickens are not migratory birds. They make short flights using their breast (pectoralis) muscles, so the meat there is white. The same muscles in a Canada Goose (migratory) are dark fibers. Horses have different muscle fiber types, depending what you're eating. Cow too. It's just harder to see in mammals than in birds.

Ok wise ass. I just don't like sorting through obviously visible anatomical structures while I am trying to eat something.

Democracy must rule, chicken is delicious and your suggestion troubles me.

My opinion probably doesn't mean anything here, but I agree with Joel. Dan's reality check aside, SF Chicken carries the (probably unintended) connotation that you are a bunch of blogging pussies, whereas SF Mustaches makes you all sound like sweet, sweet porn stars.

Lauren. Your opinion does matter especially because you are the most pimp politician on this site and presumably have a really good grasp on democracy.
