Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending McDonald's, but this image is not what the description states.
Hoax:
http://www.thatsnonsense.com/view.php?id=1478&keywords=McDonalds Chicken McNuggets Mechanically Separated Chicken Photo
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!
Just to let you all know, whether that pic is a hoax or not, msm's are used in pretty much any and everything... not just McDonalds... next time you pick up some processed meat items from the grocery store, check out the ingredients. If they list MSM or MSMP it's the same thing! (and that's mechanically separated meats or mechanically separated meat products)0 -
I'm not exactly sure how accurate this is. There still is this thing called the FDA.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...
Until your son figures out it's a crock and goes on the biggest McD's binge of a lifetime! :laugh:0 -
Ever had a hot dog or any other kind of processed meat? Pretty much the same thing. Just so you know.0

Any and everything eh...right. Alarmism is funny.Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending McDonald's, but this image is not what the description states.

Didn't we just do this?0

Sad thing is, I've known about all this for a while haha...and still eat it!0

Better to operate from knowledge rather than fear and misinformation.
Here's the Snopes article explaining the process, http://www.snopes.com/food/prepare/msm.asp, which does not, as the post suggest involve crushing up bones, etc.
By the way, McDonald's doesn't use MSPoultry in its nuggets ... at least for the last 8 years or so. I'm not defending McDonald's as there's plenty to go after then on with regard to caloric content, fat content, etc., but let's not add to the hysteria with misinformation.0 -
Far too many times. Not to mention that for any item people want to fear, there is a 'documentary' on the subject to enforce the unfounded feelings of fear.Didn't we just do this?0 -
I eat haggis. Guts!!! So yummy!
I eat sausages! It contains a lot of scrap stuff!
I also eat heats and livers....still guts!!
It's just minced up. Yeah maybe they add a lot of other stuff like preservatives etc,but just cos they add "everything" doesnt mean it's disgusting.0 -
That is gross, but if I want McDs i'll go. I saw "Supersize Me" and went to McD's right after.
That made me laugh out loud!0 -
Hahaha... it does mine and my husbands too... we no longer eat chicken nuggets... at least not the mashed up kind like what McDonald's, Wendy's and Burger King have... and my husband curses me everytime... *lol* Score 1 for me...

FDA doesn't give a ____ about the consumers, its all about money & politics, watch Food Inc, you just might change how you think.0

If you continue reading, I clearly state "if they list MSM or MSMP..." (which admittedly is a typo, should be MSP)...
Take THAT, nay-sayer, take THAT!0 -
Things like this reconfirms my vegetarianism.......
I'm not going to bash vegetarians on here, they're people too, but I don't think it's fair to compare this to living an omnivorous lifestyle. :P0 -
Ok then...thanks Captain Obvious?

Just tell yourselves that you're all classier than McDonald's or Taco Bell. Your bodies deserve better than the pre-digested garbage that those places hand you through the window.

***k, now I want chicken nuggets0

Search the forums. There were at least 2 other threads that have this topic. It is being beat into the ground.0

Because eating a 5,000 calorie a day diet of any food will cause you to gain weight and not just fast food.0 -

YEP! The act of mincing various parts of an animal is not the problem. The problem stems from the preservatives and chemicals that are being used. Not to mention the quality of the meat in its original state. Cultures have been eating ALL parts of the animal for-damn-near-ever. It's elitist of us to think that it's beneath us simply because we have a Whole Foods down the street. </soapbox>0 -

YES!!!0 -

Agree with this as well... This is one of those "friend of a friend" stories, but I know someone who knows someone whose mom works for the FDA, and she told me how the lady was forced to approve something because it had a lot of "commercial backing" (ie. they were paid to say it was fda approved)... We were talking about those birth control pills that give you your period 3 or 4 times a year* when she told me that, but I'm sure it's safe to say this goes across the board. Either way, don't use only 1 source for your info!0 -
i also find it a little disconcerting that it's being packaged straight into a cardboard box...0

McDonald's chicken tastes so much different since all this scandalous stuff came about ... you can tell they use real(er) chicken than before. Click the link above. Same goes for Taco Bell ... they're beef doesn't taste as good anymore now that they removed the sand, lol0
