Probably the stuff they scraped out of the chickens' beaks. Patched together with that pink slime stuff they get from the 'mechanically separated' goo. In the second favorite word of that food hack, Rachel Ray, yummo.

Well see, that doesn't sound appetizing

That's why it is breaded and fried. Everything becomes appetizing breaded and fried.

That's true. I feel a little better now. Fried beak.

I tried it once...
It was more binders and fillers than anything else. Makes me wonder what percentage of the nugget is actual chicken, and what the minimum amount of chicken a nugget has to have to still call it a chicken nugget.

I guess I'm thinking these are questions we shouldn't ask.

Yeah, true enough, and food we shouldn't eat. I can't recall the last time I had fast food. Probably a road trip in a pinch.

The dad of a friend of mine worked in a lunchmeat factory as a teenager. He has stories that are hard not to think about when enjoying a ham on rye.

I'll admit it.

I used to in the past eat a lot more fast food.

I don't know, I eat it now and it's just gross, I don't want to be a food snob over here. LOL, but man, It's pretty nasty.

I do like In n Out burgers though, they are a bit closer to real food than something like a McDonalds, but yeah, to really eat the healthiest people need spend a little time understanding foods and how proteins, carbs and fats work in the body etc etc and cook at home.

That's probably the best bet, although you can eat out and be healthy, if you spend some time researching menu options.

I think the nuggets get pulled off from the undersides. Like barnacles.
