The Take
Chicken Wings earn a 9 Slop Score because they are healthy by default. One ingredient, animal fat, and pre-industrial simplicity beat every ultra-processed protein bar or nugget.
People buy plain wings to signal they still eat like humans instead of lab rats. The only variable is sourcing.
The Verdict
Buy plain wings from a decent butcher and skip every corporate version. Pair with local pasture-raised from the butcher — same wings, actual sunlight in the feed.
Slop Score 9.
