EEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW....

Well, at least it's efficiently using parts of the animal that would otherwise go to waste unless it was put into petfood or something. I might feel differently if I'd actually eaten chicken nuggets since about 1998. If I'm gonna eat chicken like that, I'll go with chicken strips.

Mmm! Chicken tits *lap, lap, lap*

I pretty much know what's in chicken nuggets but I still eat them from time to time.

McDonald's chicken McNuggets are made from 100% breast meat chicken, according to its website.

Who will believe in this? lol
Its obvious that they would never say the truth, otherwise people would stop buying their food.

I still eat them from time to time. At least they are cooked. Hehehe.

So this just confirms what I've already concluded: that chicken nuggets are essentially the chicken-flavored version of Jell-O. No big deal.

I'll eat 'em occasionally.

'Course, my friend would say fast food beef was made out of lips and assholes, and I still devoured those burgers even pondering if that could be true.

Interesting.....i haven't eaten any for more than a year, but i was always suspecting that they were made from materials like the ones mentioned on the article.

Just shows we're spoiled nations. If they said chicken nuggers were made out of chicken brains, people would stop eating them. Why? Because... because... Well fuck it if I know why; people are just stupid. Owls eat mice whole, so why should we be so put off by any part of a chicken other than the big muscles being in our food?

I don't eat chicken nuggets because that breading crap tells you the shit will clog your arteries something fierce.

What proof do we have that Tyson and Foster Farms aren't doing the same thing? Why should we really believe that if we have chicken patties and chicken strips and buffalo wings and boneless chicken breasts that chicken nuggets from any manufacturer will be 100$ breast meat? If a nugget is 100% breast meet or 100% legg meat, where does the rest of the meat from the chicken go? If everything int he grocery store is 100% chicken breasts, why are there more breast meat products than wings and legs? Where are all the chicken wings and legs?

Oh right, KFC.


NOTE: I'm not retarded. I was just on my phone when I typed this up and I was typing fast.

Well, that brings nothing new to the table. We've known that for a very long time. But, of course, that story will always have its shocking potential each time it comes out.
Oh, and "100% chicken breast meat" doesn't tell us anything. Ever wondered why your burgers and your nuggets tasted so good? It's because of their high fat content. Otherwise your fast food would taste unbelievably dry.
And no, food companies aren't lying; the fat is certainly part of a chicken's breast -- in fact, there's far more fat in the chicken than there is actual muscle. And in the end, there's nothing fundamentally wrong with that; it's all up to the customer to keep his meals balanced.
Now, another thing the 100% slogan doesn't tell us about is the provenance of the meat. Most often, the meat you'll be consuming will have come from several different chickens -- all ground up together in the same nugget. And those animals could have come from anywhere; that might very well be some Polish-South American chicken blend in your plate... It might seem cruel to us, but that's the reality of the industry.

One last thing: I'd wish all food companies would finally abandon the "home-cooked, grandma-style" imagery they seem to plaster on every single one of their products. If anything is a deliberate lie, that is. Are you thinking of the benevolent family cooking in a wooden stove next to their farm? Forget about it; there's no way they could produce food in such gargantuan quantities. Instead, think of bleached-white, sterile assembly lines in which all your food is prepared and tested before being sent out. And there's nothing inherently wrong with that; when it's done correctly, it's the safest way to mass-produce products of decent quality. What is wrong, however, is the intentional deception these companies practice upon consumers. It's all studied, all worked out with minutia; it's designed for profit, and little else.

Yeah, that would be a great way for them to market their stuff. 

"Eat our food, it's prepared on an assembly line in a sterile assembly line by people that don't care about you."

LOL, but it's actually quite the opposite. And it happens to be how I found my culinary tastes in the first place.

Ah, well... It's a necessary evil, I guess.

You a Chef?

No, far from it. Just someone who appreciates good food.
