a team of scientists broke down exactly what goes
into chicken nuggets and it turns out that only about 40 to 50 percent
have a chicken nugget is actual meet the rest is not me
mother jones has a write-up about this study that was done
where Heights researchers from the University of Mississippi
went into two different fast food chains they didn't say which but we have to
assume
at least one of them was either a burger king a Wendys or McDonalds
the ordered chicken nuggets and the broken down
okay at one of the places this is amazing the chicken nugget was only 40
percent
meet or muscle the rest was generous quantities of bat
other tissues including connective tissue and bone tissue
gotta love that chicken bone tissue Louis gotta love that
the other sample that they test it had about 50 percent
meet the remainder was primarily fat with some blood vessels and nerves

as well as epithelium the stuff glands are made up
I was shocked the way I usually like epithelium is a sprinkle with paprika
and roasted over an open flame I would never expect to find it in a chicken
nuggets this is not
it's not factually unhealthy to eat these things but the idea that more than
half your chicken nuggets are not
chicken meat is definitely disturbing well this study also just seems to cover
what that the meat itself is made up with the meat of the product what
most if the product is right we gotta considered the breading and I love the
additives to
of course the chemicals in all the flavorings and all that nasty stuff
II I'm sure the list would be HUGE if we added this
they also tested for people thinking hey I get my chicken for in the freezer at
the supermarket summer that frozen Tyson Chicken
is also not that much better a ton of the calories are coming from
from just that it's mixed in because it is mechanically separated and recombine
chicken which is
just delightful to look at pictures I've we just got to get people off a
processed food I mean that the thing
there often subsidized especially when they involve corn products
they are cheap the dollars per calorie are very low
but we just have to get people of this stuff definitely and unfortunately even
most the time when you're eating
I'm not processed chicken you're still eating chicken that has
that been given feed that is made up of mostly corn which might have been
covered in pesticides yep hormones added you name it
