    10 piece chicken mcnuggets has 420 calories and 24 grams of fat, so i guess 20 of 'em has 840 calories and 48 grams of fat

    i'd die from a guilt trip if i ate that :noway:

    I make my own...to die for! Cut up chicken breast, roll in seasoned bread crumbs, saute in pam or olive oil...serve with desired dipping sauce. :drinker:

    Question......??

    Why do they call it "mechanically separated" poultry, when really it's mechanically squished together poultry?!

    They stopped using the mechanically separated chicken in '03.

    Get over it.

    Ok, well here's how chickens should be raised

    Here's how they're raised at factory farms that produce the chicken nuggest for major food companies like Tyson and fast food companies

    ^^^ Increasing the risk of diseases including salmonella. To prevent this they treat it with ammonia

    Before it starts: no I'm not on a high horse; yes, I use to eat fast food; no, store bought nuggets are no better

    Edit: Yes, I eat meat and no I don't have a problem with killing animals or people eating meat. Just think we all, including myself, should know what we're eating. Has nothing to do with calories

    Where exactly is the nuggets on a chicken anyways?:tongue:

    I'm allergic to wheat, so I can't eat them. But I do make them at home with a wheat free flour mixture that I make. Yum!!

    My friend makes this stuff, but she has to use a dehydrator to dry it faster so the meat doesn;t go bad.

    SMART *kitten*

    It was a photo of nuggets and fries. Whether or not it's true how old it is, it was still pretty gross.

    Like the mechanically separated chicken, the ammonia thing isn't happening anymore. (http://www.snopes.com/food/prepare/msm.asp)
