What’s in a Chicken McNugget?
You’d think that a breaded lump of chicken would be pretty simple. Mostly, it would contain bread and chicken. But the McNugget and its peers at other fast-food restaurants are much more complicated creatures than that. The “meat” in the McNugget alone contains seven ingredients, some of which are made up of yet more ingredients. (Nope, it’s not just chicken. It’s also such nonchicken-related stuff as water, wheat starch, dextrose, safflower oil, and sodium phosphates.) The “meat” also contains something called “autolyzed yeast extract.” Then add another 20 ingredients that make up the breading, and you have the industrial chemical—I mean, fast-food meal—called the McNugget. Still, McDonald’s is practically all-natural compared to Wendy’s Chicken Nuggets, with 30 ingredients, and Burger King Chicken Fries, with a whopping 35 ingredients.
I don't like to take info from Yahoo! but this was just interesting enough to Grab my intention due to a personal connection to the story. You see, ever since my great healthier awakening I decided to boycott McDonald's. Except I made 3 exceptions.
- The Milkshakes- shakes are bad no matter where they are from....
- The Mighty Wings- a rare offering thats likely never coming back...
- The Chicken McNuggets- delicious and I thought they used real meat...
Originally my only exceptions were the milkshakes and mighty wings but then McDonalds started announcing that they used 100% white meat chicken, but turns out it was just tricky wording as the "meat" used MAKES USE of 100% chicken white meat but is not entirely made up of that. WTF ! Come on McDonald's ... why play games ? Why not just make chicken nuggets made of chicken !? ! I mean really... chicken doesn't need your help, it's delicious all on it's own! And why trick me into being okay with eating it...the majority of your clientele doesn't care what they put in their mouths, why bring me down with them... mother cluckers !
