Whats in a chicken MCNugget

VeggieKidMandy

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, is the director of the Natural News Forensic Food Lab, and in this video he takes a close look at McDonald's Chicken McNuggets under a high-powered digital microscope.

See the strange fibers, blue objects, red coloring and other odd shapes the Health Ranger found in his forensic investigation.

Hair? Algae and more!

For some reason, I'm not surprised.

McDonald's isn't the only corporation using algae. Carrageenan, a red seaweed extract is in tons of products, including toothpaste and shampoos. Do you pay as careful attention to your toothpaste as to what's in McDonald's food?

Chickens don't even have nuggets

I don't eat this crap and couldn't watch the video without being nauseous the entire time. This video was disappointing in its failure to conclude what the blue fibers were. -_-

But hair and algae are natural.

But everything looks funky under a microscope.....

People should see the microscopic things that live on the surface of their own skin.

As for algae, it's good for you. Hair is in everything because humans have hair everywhere except fingertips, and it falls out. And blue stuff is probably some fleck of something in the chicken's flesh. Maybe a fleck of paint or nail polish or something else.

People chew their fingernails. I wonder how much nail polish people digest in a year.

I don't care because they are delicious

Take a look at organic vegetables under a microscope sometime . . .

Oh no, not hair. It's not like humans shed tons of hair and it's literally going to be on everything you touch. :yawn:


I like me some nuggets, with some sweet chili sauce. If it wasn't pizza day I might go get some.

But pizza.

Word...dipped in honey...which I'm sure has its own demons.

Not to mention the dirt and dead skin (from scratching and that depends where too).

Good thing the hydrochloric acid in our stomachs practically break down everything we ingest.

For me it's the process honey/mustard sauce from McD's.

The hair is the tiny individual strands of feather fibers. The crust of a McNugget is not made of grain flour. It's pulverized feather stems. My stepdad worked for the processing plant. Why they are blue, maybe it occurs in some sort of cleaning process to get the feather stems ready? As for what's on the inside, I'm guessing it's like weiners. If it could be sold as meat, it was already. Which leaves everything else that can't be classified as meat.

Not to defend Mickey D's, but they claimed a few years ago they stopped using "mechanically processed chicken" after bad media reports. I don't know when the Ranger video was actually taken, though. Maybe MD's idea of real chicken is what we saw. And side note - mechanically processed chicken is a paste the color of pepto-bismol. That might be what the red stuff is, remnants that didn't bleach out during the ammonia soak the paste is put through before flavoring and injected into molds.

That's beef, not chicken.

McDonald's doesn't use that beef anymore.

Wait.

You were trolling.

Never mind.

A few years ago they analysed a burger and it had close to a 1000 different DNA in it.

It's processed food, what do you really expect?

That's the only way I eat those nuggets! Dipped in honey! I was upset when they started charging me extra for the extra honey :grumble:

It's all about the hot mustard... mmmmmmm. If you're up for trying something new and bad for you, get a Filet 'o' Fish with no sauce and dip it in the hot mustard. HEAVEN!

Darn it! Now I want to go to McD's and have me some processed strange fibers, blue objects, red coloring and other odd shapes , chemical added, non identifiable, chicken like substance with Honey! Um Um good :bigsmile:

I wonder...have these food shaming posts ever swayed anyone? Because all they do is make me hungry.

This. Truly terrifying.

Everything looks scary under a microscope. Ever see a dust mite? Looks like something out of a horror movie.

I'm pretty sure this is "chicken" or some kind of chicken based paste - not beef. I saw this exact picture, with an article, in a pretty reliable news paper (as reliable as news papers get) and it specifically pointed out that this pink crap was indeed chicken.

Either way, I wouldn't eat it. I'd probably literally rather starve.
