I just learned something new and totally disgusting today on Twitter. @TheAdriRam, posted a link to an article showing this grotesque pink ooze that looks like bubble gum or something worse being poured into a cardboard box. The accompanying article explained that this grotesque pink ooze is actually “mechanically separated chicken” which is used in all sorts of processed chicken products like nuggets, patties, etc. Ewww, gross!
I tweeted @TheAdriRam and asked him if this was, perhaps, a joke and not a fact. He replied regretfully informing me that it was in fact true. Yuck! I will never eat processed chicken again. Check out the picture and article yourself and let me know what you think.
As an update to this post, I just checked out a YouTube video about this in which they said that McDonald’s does NOT use this stuff to make their chicken McNuggets. They used to, but they don’t anymore. That’s good news to those of us who like McDonald’s chicken McNuggets. The video can be found here: http://youtu.be/T67DvoH2H3E
