Crunchy Chicken exposé
June 6, 2008

There is supposedly this wonder woman by the name Crunchy Chicken who:
goes to work all day, takes care of two small children, works and harvests her large edible yard, and prodigiously maintains an informational, witty and all around fun green blog.
If you think it takes two people to do all of the above, there is more.
Her husband was diagnosed with a bad bad evil cancer not too long ago. She takes him to the hospital for tests and treatments. And she goes through the unthinkable emotional roller coaster every day.
You say, no way, it would have to take three women? There is still more.
She set up a charity organization Goods 4 Girls to help young women gain access to better menstrual products. Obviously she snapped her fingers and it was done. So she began a fundraiser to raise money for the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation.
Surely, it would have to take four women to accomplish all those? Well, I am inclined to agree with you. I think it is an out-and-out hoax that there is even such a person – Crunchy Chicken.
What did you say? Oh this is supposed to be a tribute. But you see, the more I chew on it, the fishier the whole things starts to smell. So I am going to make an executive decision to write an exposé.
Breaking news: Crunchy Chicken is most likely a name used collectively by four women.
Yes, of course I did my research. I downloaded Crunchy’s picture from her site and submitted it to a fancy schmancy CSI type of coding-decoding thingamajig. Sure enough, they told me that the picture was a photoshopped composition of four women. Crunchy Chicken is taking advantage of our untrained eyes, people.
If you are into detective work, go back and read “her” posts, don’t be surprised to find writing style inconsistencies and personality differences. See for yourself.
Whew! That was a total relief after the truth presented itself. As I followed along Crunchy’s blog, I was feeling massively inadequate. It took me 6 months from talking about composting to actually dumping food scrap into my backyard bin. It took me a year from hearing about Diva cup to actually using it. Eighteen months went by between when I thought about having an edible garden to actually having one. Etc., etc. You get my drift.
So congratulations to all four of the chickens who have successfully fooled us and made us believe that “she” was just one ecosuperhero.
You know, what each of them does separately is pretty impressive. They don’t really need to create a new identity to make the rest of us all feel like crappy slackers. Just ‘sayin…

You are too funny! I was thinking of writing something like this, about how intimidated I was at first by Crunchy because she does seem to have super-human strength. Thanks so much for clearing up the mystery. Now I don’t have to feel so inadequate!
Just kidding. BTW, are you coming to the Blogher conference in July??? I think we should kidnap Crunchy Chicken and bring her here so we can know once and for all that she’s a real person. Plus, it would just be fun.
I knew it!
Ahahahahah! Cindy you crack me up!!
Good to know that Crunchy Chicken is FOUR women though. I was starting to feel really really inferior.
“Whew” is right! I’ve got no (paid) job, no kids (does a dog count?), and a healthy hubby, yet she still gets more done on a regular basis than me. I just thought she never slept; it’s good to know the real answer is she’s got multiple clones.
Thank you, Cindy, for bringing the truth to light!! I cannot believe that we’ve been fooled all this time. One of those four women is obviously a whiz with the photoshop thing because she managed to morph those four women into one hot mama.
Beth: I’d love to go the Blogher, see everyone and find out the crunchy truth once for all. But I will be away for some family time during the conference. Will write more about that in the next couple of weeks
Excuses, excuses Cindy! Beth and I are going to have soooo much fun without you.
GB: haha, bet you are just jealous
I promise to post pictures.
I stumbled on your blog and really hope you are right! I’ve enjoyed CC’s blog but definitely felt I was such a slacker and how could one woman, with apparently so much going on in her personal life, accomplish these great feats in short time span? I often wondered if her husband was really sick. I know terrible thing to say but the she’d one day toss out an idea then the next blog say she was already going on the project. I mean with kids, homework, family time, meals, fatally ill husband HOW did it all get done, plus she works full time. Four women doing it makes much more sense.
