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.”
He works at Autism Speaks and a couple of months ago decided to run in this years marathon. He never really ran before. He was a smoker at the time so he quit that. Yay. He’s been blogging about it and now he’s writing about it for AM NY (a free daily paper).
Check him out, maybe send a couple of bucks his way if you feel like it. He’s trying to raise a bit of money for chairy while he’s at it.

Asher and I went to the Elizabeth Mitchell Concert at Celebrate Brooklyn last week and we listened to her 1st CD about 3 times all the way through today. Its really great kids music. Mellow but fun. Not annoying. The only problem is that the songs always get stuck in my head. I get the worst earworm and Matthew and I tend to pass it back and forth for days.
(Don’t anyone sing lyrics from RENT! those are the worst)
me: I cannot get the “John the Rabbit” song out of my head
Matthew: Has it become a mighty habit
me: ha, yes
Matthew: yes, WHAT?
listen
Oh John the rabbit, yes ma’am
Had a mighty habit, yes ma’am
Of jumping in my garden, yes ma’am
My sweet potatoes, yes ma’am
My fresh tomatoes, yes ma’am
And if I live, yes ma’am
To see next fall, yes ma’am
I ain’t gonna have, yes ma’am
No garden at all. NO ma’am!
me, fast forwarding some boring performance by the gypsy kings
matthew: Hey! what are you doing! that’s the only part of the show I like!
me: the ONLY part?
matthew: of the results show, yes.
Friends, if you make your family members watch dancing with the stars week after week even the most reluctant haters will eventually give in to the goodness of the derek hough hip shake.
(Isn’t he amazing? If you don’t know what I’m talking about watch this, you won’t regret it)
If you come from my part of Brooklyn, which is to say the part I grew up in and not necessarily the part I live in now, you will of course recognize Anthony Weiner‘s name. He has been around forever, or at least as long as I can remember. Being that he is only 45 its sort of amazing. I almost can’t believe he is where he is today. And that is ripping this Gentleman from New Jersey a new one on behalf of healthcare.
