Can I Have Some Chicken Nuggets?


Chicken nuggets taste so amazing but we didn't realize how gross they really are. Research has shown that chicken is mechanically separated and de-boned, then the remaining meat is ground-down into this unappetizing paste. Michael Kindt says that the chicken is then disinfected, re-flavored and bleached back to the whitish color we all associate with cooked chicken breast.
Our favorite fast food restaurant McDonald's might not use this pink pasty ice-cream looking meat; however there four piece nuggets contain 190 calories, 100 of which come from trans fat. They also contain 400 milligrams of sodium, and along with modified food starch, dextrose and citric acid. So the next time they say "Hey welcome to McDonald's may I take your order" just reconsider saying I want the number 10.
