Not sure this is the right forum for this, but since it deals with unhealthy food, I thought perhaps I'd post it here. This woman needs to get a hold on herself!

    Something about being drunk convinces you that you need either White Castles, Chicken McNuggets, or Scattered Smothered Covered potatoes from Waffle House RIGHT NOW, or you're going to die. :laugh:

    What exactly is the nugget of a chicken? Is this something that us humans have or is it only avian related like a gizzard?

    A friend sent me the link yesterday. They were still on the breakfast menu and haven't switched over to lunch.
    I heard on this video, that she has panic attacks. I'm not defending her at all, but.....

    One thing I found different from McDonalds USA and McDonalds Canada.
    We don't have chicken on the menu for breakfasts.
    .
    Why couldn't she have ordered this, it's on the breakfast menu.

    Southern Style Chicken Biscuit
    A tender, flaky buttermilk biscuit with white meat chicken that’s crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside.

    So they'll fry up some chicken and put it on a biscuit, but can't serve a few pieces of chicken fried up?

    I haven't eaten a chicken nugget in 10 years ? Something like that. My Dad used to work at the plant that made them and after he told me all that was in them, no, ty. I don't remember the name of the product that's in them but it's not chicken meat, just a portion of it is chicken meat.

    Our newscast had a friend who stated that she has panic attacks... especially when she has been drinking. Um... yeah, if you've been drinking you don't need to be going through a drive-through...

    Yeah, she definitely has panic attacks, and like Melody said, if it's from drinking, well duh! Don't drink! Problem solved. Here's a more detailed story regarding her jail time that was sentenced.

    Give me five minutes and I can tell you a story that will ensure you never eat chicken mcnuggets ever again.

    That said, I work in fast food (Carl's Jr.), and the stuff I see and hear in the drive though would shock people who have never worked in the food industry. Drunk drivers, people who don't put their young children in car seats, everything. I get cussed out daily because we only offer strawberry biscuits before 11 am. One woman sat at our order board for 5 minutes cussing at the girl taking orders because we weren't Chik Fil A, and couldn't give her a chicken biscuit!

    This is the part that I remember being told about in one of my culinary classes (from the article link you posted):

    "Dimethylpolysioxene is added to the oil to prevent starches (and, as you can see, starches aren't just present in the nuggets--they're outright abundant.) from binding. Problem: this chemical is a carcinogen. What's more--and you'll like this--it's actually flammable."

    My teacher told me this HIGHLY resembles the chemical makeup of lighter fluid . . . no thanks!
