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.

But, hey, at least it tastes good, right?

High five, America!

MrDeeds

This is 100% BS.

It's not even gross to me, it looks like ice cream or yogurt

This looks like Ice Cream. I think that picture is fake. Though if this story is true...

I doubt it is though...?

A few points to make:

1. This looks faker than press on nails. I doubt it's a real picture/portrayal of processed food.

2. Fast food is bad? No ****! Lol. We all know it's bad, that's hardly news.

3. People eat **** that's bad all the time. Hell, there's rat poison in cigarettes, but people continue to smoke. Soda rots your teeth but people still drink it.

4. Instead of worrying about how chicken ends up on your plate, focus on how the corn industry is taking over the entire food market. Google it if you don't know what I'm talking about.

5. I'm so glad I'm vegan and don't gotta worry about stuff like this.

And I've wondered what the hell they mean by "mechanically separated chicken" on the Vienna Sausages cans...

No really, I wonder if that pic is a hoax...I mean, whole chickens being processed and coming out looking like that?

Oh lawd it's true

K, so how is the texture of the mix in the photo above so different from the texture of the mix in this video?

YUP it's true
i study Food Engineering and that is called MDM (Mechanically deboned meat)
and from that they make sussagges (or however that is spelled), nuggets, even ham

so you may think ham a nd sussagges are made from pork meat, but the true is that it has only a small ammount of it and the big part is this MDM and pork fat

BTW that "deboned" meat is like... everything: feet, eyes, lungs, genitals, ass, all bones and all the things from the chicken you dont see in the supermarket (breasts, wings, legs)

Disgusting but true.. im cool with it.. i mean.. if were living in the jungle i wouldnt mind eating all those things

and as for the Nuggets are made mostly from Starch

Tacobell, McDonnalds and other restaurants use a similar method to make "cow" meat... but the bones are not icluded as far as i know
