Remember My Guilty Pleasure?
You may remember a few posts ago that I spoke of McDonald’s chicken burgers being one of my guilty pleasures. I read an article yesterday about how processed chicken is made.
Let’s just say I’ve eaten my last fast food chicken burger.
The Guardian – Investigation on Chicken Nuggets
Fitperez.com – This is Where Chicken Nuggets Comes From
National Geographic – Meat Paste
From what I can gather McDonald’s no longer uses mechanically separated meat (at least not ms as defined by the feds), however even the thought that something similar could be happening to something I’m EATING, is enough for me.
Yuck.
Eating on Purpose 
I made my own homemade chicken nuggets this week after seeing that picture. I bought a bunch of local, antibiotic free chicken breasts when they were on sale at work last week and cut them all up into nuggets. Then I made a breading from frozen bread ends and seasoning salt. I froze them all and made some on Friday night. Yum!
