## Personal Notes

    ...and if you're a transgirl I'd like to add to your reasons list that estrogen + smoking significantly increases the coagulability of your blood. I've had several transgirl patients with DVTs / PEs / strokes even who did not know that can happen!

      It’s less what’s in the chicken nugget and more what isn’t in the chicken nugget

      Not really any nutritional value mixed with a lot of sugars and fats

        I eat vegan chicken nuggets all the time and honestly they taste almost exactly the same. In fact I’d say any vegan version of highly processed meat (sausage, burgers, etc) tastes very similar.

        Just recently Starbucks gave me a real sausage patty instead of Impossible and I didn’t even know whether it was “real” meat at first — I had to take another look at it and see that the shape and thickness were different (and the store admitted it was the wrong product when I returned).
