Researchers tried to find out what was in chicken nuggets from two fast food chains, with disconcerting results.
The researchers, from University of Mississippi Medical Center and Baptist Medical Center, both in Jackson, Miss., examined nuggets from two unnamed national fast food chains, according to the study published in the September issue of the American Journal of Medicine.
The nugget from the first restaurant "was composed of approximately 50% skeletal muscle, with the remainder composed primarily of fat, with some blood vessels and nerve present," according to lead author Dr. Richard D. deShazo of the University of Mississippi Medical Center.
The second nugget contained "40% skeletal muscle," as well as fat, connective tissue, and bone.
The conclusion?

NASTY.
The same crap they serve in school lunches.
Bone, tendons, ligaments, fat, nerves, blood vessels, skin bits, pin feathers, bone cartilage, trachea chunks, blood clots; it's all in there, all the things you don't serve or spit out if you cook a chicken at home. No wonder nuggets are cheap. They're dog food in camouflage, heavy with flavorings people like, even crave, coated with genetically modified wheat paste with lots of salt and genetically modified corn syrup and even more comfort food flavorings, then deep fried in genetically modified oil.
I usually get the large box.
"Skeletal, or striated muscle, isn't what most people imagine when they think of chicken meat.
McDonald's chicken McNuggets are made from 100% breast meat chicken, according to its website."
Breast meat IS striated muscle. People have been conditioned to think otherwise, like it's some magical meat that chickens carry around just to make us happy.
who cares next lets talk about scrapple shall we
MSL
"breast meat chicken"
Does that mean breast meat FROM a chicken, or meat that comes from a bird you call a breast meat chicken?
hotdogs too
I think I will have me some of that "Blue Buffalo" dog food. Those people really care about what is in the food LOL!(can you say, chicken bi-product meal?)
well said 1:10, nothing beats trachea chunks, blood clots and cartilage when you've got the munchies.
