nasty

October 4th, 2010

I am so glad that I do not, and haven’t ever wanted to eat manufactured chicken product. Rubber chicken, processed chicken. All that jazz. Never have, never will. The texture just doesn’t work for me. I don’t eat cold cuts. You will never ever ever see me eat a frozen nugget or a fast food “burger”. Or any burger really. I rarely even eat ground meat because I find it so repulsive  so yeah, I get it. I’m definitely the odd man out here.

Maybe this photo will make you stop spending your hard earned money on artificial food or maybe it wont but there is no way I will ever feed this processed shit to my kid(s). They must make it taste pretty good for people to eat it. Try frying up some veggies next time, I bet they taste even better. I know a good recipe for some dip-dip.

Nasty.

“Say hello to mechanically separated chicken. It’s what all fast-food chicken is made from—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 reflavored artificially. Then, because it is weirdly pink, it will be dyed with artificial color.”

Appetizing, huh folks?
