In Australia, we are finding quite the opposite.  Rats through the lead free
process are slightly more tender, although both still taste like chicken.

We have found that rats run through the lead-free reflow process fair no
better then those processed through the existing leaded process...

Technet:

There is an incredibly interesting story, which might help our cause in
eliminating this lead issue, and I have a paper copy of this story, but
do not have it electronically.   I offer to fax/mail to any interested
parties.

The story was published in the Nov. 25 1991 issue of the New Yorker
magazine, and it a story about Aspen Colorado.   Apparently Aspen is
built on mine tailiings from the 1800's, and has extremely high lead
levels in the soils.   This came to the attention of the EPA, who was
planning to turn the town into a Superfund site, and make everyone leave...
they did not understand who they were taking on.

The town filed suit to halt the EPA for a year, then they found a test lab,
took some high lead soil samples, and ground up the soil, and mixed it with
rat food.  They got two groups of rats, fed one the normal rat food, and the
other the rat food laced with ground soil.  After a year, they sacrificed
the rats (DON"T TELL PETA!)  and analyzed various parts of their bodies for
lead...

There was no more lead in the group fed the ground up soils than in the
control group!

The lead was not "bio-available", and was simply excreted.    The EPA
packed up their tents, and got outta town...

An amazing story...
