    Who the fuck doesn’t love a good burger?

    I’m not criticizing liking a good burger. there’s nothing like a good burger.

    McDonalds barely qualifies as ‘edible’; never mind food… and forget “good”

    as for nuggets… I like to be able to tell what I’m actually eating. Pureed chicken product…? no thank you. (pop corn chicken is still “chicken”… it’s not heavily processed into a sludge before being shaped. It’s just bits of “waste” chicken that get chopped into that form. Trimmings, or possibly breasts chopped to shape.) (chicken tenders are from a strip inside the chicken breast- frequently they’re part of the breast, but there’s a bit of connective tissue between.)

      Having seen the tube the chicken nuggets are extruded from at a meat plant, at least in Canada they’re pretty much just chicken. Looks like refried beans, sure, but it’s chicken.

        I like to call this video “how vegetarians are made.”

        While the initial grind is fairly thick. The continuous mixer they dump it into with all those lovely chemicals, continues breaking it down (and drying it out.)

        (For the record that picture he keeps coming back to is frozen yogurt or ice cream. If it’s pink it’s cherry or strawberry.)
