Chicken nuggets

Hey everyone,

You know them. You love them. They taste delicious with some Bar-b-Que sauce or sweet and sour sauce. They make you feel better after you eat them, but from where do they come? Well, it's a simple process. You start with genetically modified chickens whose breasts have been so enhanced that they can't stand on their own power. If they survive the farm process, they are shipped to a plant where they are cleaned and prepared for the next step. In this step, they're put through a mechanical separator which removes the breasts and leaves the unwanted parts. It's ingenious really, but, then, the chicken breasts are ground up and turned into a collective paste which can then be shaped into signature shapes which we are so used to consuming. However, here is one more fact for you. Chicken nuggets contain 38 ingredients (at least for McDonald's). The choice to eat these foods is up to you, but I've decided against it. Personally, I think that people should have as much food knowledge as possible, so they can make decisions for themselves. The choice is now yours.

  1. So the real question is, are 37 non-chicken ingredients significantly detrimental for you? It's possible (albeit ludicrously unlikely) that McDonald's is putting some chemical in their chicken nuggets that make men's peckers and women's breasts bigger and more plump. Maybe McDonald's is actually a secret underground philanthropic organization trying to increase the happiness of the world. If so, they should put nicotine or heroin or something in their nuggets to make them more interesting, if they aren't already. Maybe ecstasy, too, but not for any sort of chemical addiction.

    Imagine that...pecker enhancing, ecstasy laced fast food.
