All animals have genes that decide and control the development of organs. Due to these genes, it is impossible to find humans born with wings. Our limbs will develop according to the instructions encoded in such genes. It is because of these genes, a spider will form 8 legs but no wings.
“As an organism grows, its weight increases at a faster rate than its strength. Thus, an average adult male human would need a wingspan of at least 6.7 meters to fly.
If our wings evolved from arms, we would become much clumsier and lose the benefit of our hands. If they grew as separate limbs, we would need to reorganise our skeleton and muscle structure radically over thousands of millions of years.
We cannot create enough lift to overcome the force of gravity (or our weight). It's not only wings that allow birds to fly. Their light frame and hollow bones make it easier to counteract gravity. Air sacs inside their bodies make birds lighter, which enables smoother motion through air.
Humans would not fly even if we had hollow bones in the entire of our skeletal system because humans do not possess a circular breathing pattern as the birds do and the anatomy of humans is unsuitable for aerodynamic purposes such as flying.
In order to generate enough power to lift our heavy human bodies, we would need a wingspan of at least 6.7 metres and our arm and chest muscles would have to be colossal … making our body, as a result, too heavy to lift.
Americans really can't get enough wings, as a new study shows the average person will eat 17,653 chicken wings in their adult lifetime. Twenty-four wings eaten a month on average leads to wing lovers indulging in 290 wings a year, according to the figures.
In general though, you can expect a person to eat roughly 6-10 wings. This number is highly variable though. For example, my Father and Brother-in-law can eat 10+ wings without batting an eye. Where-as my Mother (who is rather petite) can eat 5 at most and be satisfied.
10-12 buffalo wings will make the average person feel full, especially with side dishes. However, this is all based on average appetites. For wing lovers, heavy eaters, buffets, or grazing parties like Super Bowl Sunday, I recommend 2 pounds per person…you may have leftovers but that is better than running out.
Plan approximately six wings per guest if the wings are served as an appetizer before an additional meal. Guests may eat more, but many will hold space for the main course.
How many seconds would it take you to eat a whole wing? I'd say two seconds, for me. If that. I guess it depends on the size, but a medium-sized wing, about 10 to 12 in a minute would be good.
Keep portions modest -- about five or six wings per person. For your wings' sauce, replace butter with heart-healthy olive oil or forget the extra fat all together by just brushing your wings with a flavorful hot sauce or other low-fat condiment such as teriyaki, BBQ or sweet and sour.
However, if your wings are the main dish, I would recommend 6-10 cut chicken wings per person. This means you'll want 1.5-2 pounds of wings per person. Especially if you are hosting a Super Bowl Party and serving chicken wings, you'll most likely need 6-10 per person.
For most people, their arm span is about equal to their height. Mathematicians say the arm span to height ratio is one to one: your arm span goes once into your height. Now let's explore another ratio: the length of your femur bone to your height.
Generally the arm span measurement should be close to the measurement of height. If the arm span is less than height then a chondrodystrophy may be limiting bone growth. If the arms plan is longer than height then abnormalities of spinal growth may be a possibility.
Chicken wings aren't bad, and while they aren't the best, they definitely aren't the worst. Chicken wings are carbohydrate-free (as long as they aren't slathered in sweet sauce)! They're also high in protein, so if you're looking for a low-carbohydrate protein option, chicken wings aren't a bad choice.
Portion size is an easy way to eat better
A serving of chicken wings is 4.4 ounces, or about four wings. Portion size, or how much of a particular food you actually eat, is important for staying slim.
There are no bones or cartilage that you shouldn't be eating in the chicken wing left, so you can eat it in a few bites or just chomp down the whole thing in one go.
You can cook and eat whole chicken wings. Whether you cut them or not is down to personal preference.
The tips are fully edible except for one small bone in the center which you can remove and discard as you eat, but it's nothing compared to all the detritus left over from conventional, tip-less chicken wings.
1kg consists of approx. 20, 2 joint wings.
