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 start craving fast food

Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending McDonald's, but this image is not what the description states.

Even if the picture isn't what it looks like, I have watched SuperSize Me, and the describe the SAME thing. Old chickens are mashed up, beaks/eyes, guts, feet, everything!! And then used to make nuggets. NASTY!0 -
Eeeeeeeew! (thanks for posting. has definately curbed my cravings!)0

Reading that it actually says that the image IS the chicken, it's just the process in the description is exaggerated and probably outdated (at least for McDonald's).
So yeah, still gross and somewhat factual.0 -
omg thats discusting. my favourite was the mcchicken sandwich meal aswell. so much crap went into my body
x0 -
OMG thank you for posting this, I've heard so many times how bad mc D's are but it goes in one ear out the other when you see a yummy burger.... not so yummy now!!!!!!! uggggh!!!! That image will be in my mind and keep me away from that revolting food forever!!!!!!!!!! Thanks!0

The amount of chicken nuggets and chicken sandwiches I had eaten as a kid lol. How did I survive on this stuff...
They did taste nice though, but the taste of there food lately has been quite bland and dry. I had a Big Mac sometime last year and it was just dry and not much taste at all.0 -
I saw this on facebook.......it's gross. You could always tell the fast food chicken wasn't chicken, lol0

That's what I was just thinking! I EXISTED on McDonald's for years; it's a wonder I wasn't having weight issues and such way back when.
And agreed that the stuff tasted better some years ago than it does now. It wasn't hard to wean off of them after a while, and that was years still before I joined MFP.0 -
hahahaaa...my vegetarian friend actually showed this to me a while back. I do NOT touch anything processed like that...no chicken nuggets or chicken patty sandwiches, and absolutely NOOOO hot dog weinies....uuuuuuck0
-
Myth. McD's stopped using separated chicken like 2 years ago. :yawn: Snopes is your friend, folks.0
-
Um...EW! However, I heard this was a hoax as well. Regardless, I have seen "Supersize Me" and that was enough!!!0
-
Check out Food Inc. if you really want an eyefull on how the food industry processes our meat! It's disgusting!0
-
No different than hotdogs / baloney / brats / summer sausage, or anything processed.0
-
The beak is my favorite part of the mechanically separated chicken! *raises a McNugget to you all*0
-
This is a hoax.0
-
This... AGAIN??? We have been through this 100 times. McD's doesn't use mechanically seperated chicken... and even if they did it would not look like soft serve - it looks like this:
which is still not appetizing but its not foamy looking...
Now if you excuse me I am going to find some softserve because all that first picture does is make me want some damn ice cream.0 -
Things like this reconfirms my vegetarianism.......0

well the word Hoax is an overstaement... in fact the article says "The picture actually does most likely show MSM, or MSP, which at some point during the production of this processed food does take on the form of a soft, pink paste.
However the description -given in the accompanying text and also on several blog-type websites that have reported on the image- is a little misleading when describing the process that involves mechanically separated meat.
Firsty, the process of MSM essentially means stripping the bones of all edible meats and condensing such meats into the paste you see in the picture. Whilst this meat is of course not exactly the most nutritionally rewarding meat, it is not the "bones, eyes, guts and all" as stated in the message. It is all actually meat [tissue]."
So it reall is the gross stuff they call chicken.
I have not eaten a McNugget since the early 80's and I still feel tainted by this!0 -
Alarmist be all alarming up in hee-ya!
There's so many logical fallacies I don't even know where to begin.0 -
That is gross, but if I want McDs i'll go. I saw "Supersize Me" and went to McD's right after.0
-
see, I'm still ok with it!! 0
-
I luv Wendy's Spicy Chicken Nuggets! The only thing we eat that isn't truly gross since inception are veggies.. and that's without thinking of all the insects that climb all over them in the course of their growing or what some types of fertilizers may be used (poooo)0

Nothing like some total nonsense on a Monday.0

Hoax or not, this story stopped my 7yr old son in his tracks - Now not only does he not ask us to take him to McDonald's, or any other fast food joint - we couldnt force him to eat there if we starved him for a week and took him there against his will.
From where I'm sittin, this story, true or not, is serving a very valuable purpose...0 -
I've heard so many horror stories about what goes on in the kitchens of fast food and regular restaurants. Pink foam is the least of my worries. The only way to avoid eating anything "gross", processed or preserved is to grow all your own food and prepare yourself in your own kitchen. And be sure and wash your hands, wear sterile gloves and don't wipe your nose, else even THAT food could get contaminated.0

Just as long as you are NOT talking about Chick-Fil-A or Zaxby's I am happy! LOL0
