I scream, you scream, we all scream for...

[Boris Godunov]

... chicken?

Say hello to mechanically separated chicken. It’s what all fast-food chicken is made from—things like chicken nuggets and patties. Also, the processed frozen chicken in the stores is made from it.

Basically, the entire chicken is smashed and pressed through a sieve—bones, eyes, guts, and all. it comes out looking like this.

There’s more: because it’s crawling with bacteria, it will be washed with ammonia, soaked in it, actually. Then, because it tastes gross, it will be reflavored artificially. Then, because it is weirdly pink, it will be dyed with artificial color.

But, hey, at least it tastes good, right?

High five, America!

And, while it'd probably cheaper and healthyer to use coloured and flavoured soy paste, this way they can call it 'ckicken' nuggets and not be sued to oblivion.

And Britons don't do any of this?

[NoodleNaught]

And none of the chick was wasted.

And none of the chick was wasted.

Just like the Native Americans.

huffington post is reporting that McDonalds Mcnuggets are NOT mechanically separated chicken as defined by the USDA.
