Can You Guess What McDonald’s Food Item This Is?

Say hello to mechanically separated chicken. It’s what all fast-food chicken is made – things like chicken nuggets and patties. Also, the processed frozen chicken in the stores is made from ...it.

Basically, the entire chicken is smashed and pressed through a sieve — bones, eyes, guts, and all. it comes out looking like this.

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

Think about that next time you pull through the drive thru or feed your kids fast food ;)

    Here you go!
    I hate fast food for this very reason.

    I find that looking on the main/help thread on the Message Boards helps with many questions I have.

    Also there food doesnt decompose. I came across a pic of someone who
    Left a dollar hamburger out on there desk since 2010 and chicken nuggets since 2011 unchanged. It's gross.

    To each his/her own. As a matter of fact, I can't remember the last time I pulled through McDonald's for anything other than a Diet Coke. But ..........

    When it's time to enjoy McDonald's, Burger King, DQ, KFC, Wendy's or any other restaurant I admit, I enjoy it.

    So frequent flier or not, do what works for you.

    I've seen this picture a lot but I just want to know what proof is given with it. I mean, I'm not defending McDonalds and I don't really eat there but it's a photo with no writing or evidence really.

    GOOD for YOU!:flowerforyou:

    Accord to the law of supply and demand, their prices should fall, and my Big Mac might be cheaper next time I go.
    I LOVE McD - everything on their fabulous menu.
    In moderation, of course....:bigsmile:

    I am not getting fit to stop living life and enjoying great tasting foods.
    That just doesn't work for me.

    Eww I think I just puked a little. It's amazing how we can "know" these things are terribly unhealthy but it will take seeing/hearing certain things to remind us- DON'T GO THERE! lol

    I have seen this picture a thousand times and yet I still don't care. Why is it pink? Because meat is pink. Sausage looks like this before casing.

    I have not eaten at McDcdonalds or any fast food Chain in over 5 years!
    I consider fast food anywhere there is a drive thru, anywhere you do not have a waiter or waitress, restaurant food is almost as bad but you can carefully plan out options like plain spinanch with vinegar, unseasoned lean meats, and grilled or steamed veggies.

    When I seen the pictures of the non decomposed food that was left out for like 1-2 years that really turned my stomach..then I felt awful for letting my 2 year old eat the chicken nuggets :\ Really turns your stomach to think about it. I never was a huge fan of MDonalds..but there was some things I enjoyed. Don't know if I would now though !!

    .

    Thank you. I have seen this all over Facebook as well. The picture and accompanying story is somewhat true, but also misleading. I love Snopes.

    Another good one is the PLU codes on food indicating if an item is a GMO. More examples of "I read it on the interwebs so it must be true!"

    I mean I know McDonald (and other fast foods for that matter) is crap, not nutritious, provides little to no nourishment, and I never feel good after eating it, but I didnt think it was THAT bad...

    It shocks me that

    - anyone is shocked by this, it's fast food, what did you expect?
    - you are just realising it's not healthy

    Stop being a food snob, eat it don't eat it, whatever.

    Now who is up for a McChicken Sandwhich?

    this is what happens when you give a 2 year old chicken nuggets.

    Except McDonald's doesn't use mechanically separated chicken for their nuggest. FYI. They use all white meat chicken breast for their nuggets. Still, frying them isn't the greatest, but it's no different than you breading and frying your own at home, really.


    http://www.mcdonalds.com/us/en/food/product_nutrition.chicken.124.Chicken-McNuggets-4-piece.html

    They POSSIBLY do for the McChicken. However, the sandwiches that are not on the value menu are premium quality and contain chicken breast meat. And a lot of salt...
