Noodle reagent - what if noodles had noodles?

[Noah Buttes]

I am against this only for the fact that Discount Dan would be too cheap to use actual noodles in his noodle soup. However extracting Noodle Reagent from Sperghetti noodles is okay.

So chicken soup is cheaper than noodles? Surely not. Chicken is more expensive than wheat.

Who said he uses actual chicken?
