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 refalvored artificially. Then, because it is weirdly pink, it will be dyed with artificial color.

That crap BETTER come w/ a toy.

Please tell me that is NOT How Chick-fil-A does it. Please...

Chicken McNuggets, Subway Chicken Pattie, etc, etc.

Never again...

WTF?????????????????

if its made from mechanically separated chicken, yes.

whole pieces of chicken, no. From my memory all Chik-fil-a is whole pieces, but I haven't had chik-fil-a in years.

I'm actually searching my memory to remember what the inside of a chicken nugget at Chick-fil-A looks like. If my memory is correct, then I'm in the clear as it was evident that it was just chopped up pieces of chicken breast. The chicken sandwiches are definitely chicken breasts and not the pink crap in the article.

I think I'm safe. I don't eat at Chick-fil-A often, but it is a very occasional splurge and I want to continue to enjoy it.

Got that email this morning. Gross.

i'd kill for chick-fil-a.

and good tex-mex for that matter.

Brad Blauser said he used to work for Chik Fil-A, and that they used actual chicken breast. You're fine. Except 00.

Remember Jaime Oliver on "Food Nation" and those 'merican kids wanted to eat his chicken nuggets made from tendons and bones?

I prefer to eat this instead:




However...did any of yall see this article?

Why KFC Franchisees Are Squawking
They feel Yum! Brands is foolishly downplaying the chain's Southern fried image

The civil war over what KFC should stand for erupted last year when the company introduced grilled chicken with the slogan "Unthink KFC." Some franchisees saw it as a bald effort to distance the chain from its much-cherished Southern fried legacy. "Kentucky Fried Chicken hit the streets with 11 herbs and spices, pressure-cooked, and by and large the general public doesn't give a damn how many calories are in it," says Wallace Fowler, who runs 60 franchises with his son Chris in Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, and Tennessee. " 'Unthink' hurt KFC as a brand," adds Chris. "We told our customers not to think of us as a fried chicken chain." KFC management dropped the "Unthink KFC" national campaign in May.

I sent both the link above and the Snopes link to my wife. She frequently gets our kids chicken nuggets from McDonald's. Maybe this will make her rethink that.

i haven't eaten chicken nuggets in years, and i wouldn't even having not read this. but now this cements my view.

So I just went to open some turkey sausage and found that it is from mechanical separated meat...kinda gross.
