From "Fine Cooking" Magazine: It you've ever cooked a chicken breast and it turns out tough and chewy, it might not be your fault. Some chickens are affected by a condition called "woody breast", which is the result of hardened muscle fibers. The exact cause is unknown, but it's linked to chickens that have been bred to get as big a possible as quickly as possible....Woody breast is believed to affect 5-10% of the chicken breasts on the market, though not a health threat to humans, it certainly is not pleasant to eat. To lessen the chance of getting a woody breast, buy your chicken from smaller farms.

Well said words from Michael Badger about out food supply
