    They would be bad enough if they were merely chunks of chicken that had been breaded and deep-fried in oil. One documentary describes McDonald's nuggets as chickens “stripped down to the bone, and then 'ground up’ into a chicken mash, then combined with a variety of stabilizers and preservatives, pressed into familiar shapes, breaded and deep fried, freeze dried, and then shipped to a McDonald’s near you.”

    there is no Chicken in the chicken nugget, it is pink slime , have you not watch the ANIMAL act website video , i will prove it to you very soon

    McDonald's nuggets - crap.

    Chick-Fil-A nuggets - addictive.

    Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it), there are no Chick-Fil-A locations within reasonable driving distance of where I live. ;)

    I fully approve. I don't buy them. But using as much of an animal as possible is a very good use of resources and affordability.

    That was from "Supersize Me" right?

    Current ingredients of Chicken McNuggets are: Chicken, water, salt, sodium phosphates. Battered and breaded with bleached wheat flour, water, wheat flour, modified food starch, salt, spices, wheat gluten, paprika, dextrose (sugar), yeast, garlic powder, rosemary, partially hydrogenated soybean oil and cottonseed oil with mono- and diglycerides, leavening (sodium acid pyrophosphate, baking soda, ammonium bicarbonate, monocalcium phosphate), natural flavor (plant source) with extractives of paprika. Fried in vegetable oil (Canola oil, corn oil, soybean oil, hydrogenated soybean oil with TBHQ and citric acid added to preserve freshness). Dimethylpolysiloxane, a silicone derivative is added as an antifoaming agent.

    That list is from Wickipedia but confirmed here: http://nutrition.mcdonalds.com/getnutrition/ingredientslist.pdf

    Yikes!

    I saw a picture of what this meal looks like in the documentary. I kid you not, it looked to have a pink hue that had a substance that looked like the consistency of those foam things that you float on in a pool. It was rather gross. I know they can taste good to a palate that is used to fast food. It was rather amazing the transformation from that into what we know as the mcnuggets. Be afraid, be very afraid! :-)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T67DvoH2H3E <----video about "mechanically separated poultry" used in chicken nuggets.

    Mcd's has changed their practices in recent years to supposedly use white meat in their nuggets, but there are some other brands and restaurants still use this process

    I laugh at all the people who say "They are amazing, who cares what they are made out of, I eat them anyways"... um clearly you don't care, that is why you are on MFP. Clearly, those nuggets you ate didn't help you stay fit and healthy by any means, otherwise you wouldn't be on here.

    You can lose weight and live a healthy lifestyle that includes the occasional McNugget.

    It's about moderation, activity and managing macros. McDonalds doesn't make people fat.
