Chicken nugget fans!
Awesome!

No, it's not strawberry soft-serve ice cream - it's your chicken nuggets (or the nuggets you feed to your children) while they're being processed.
Yum!

Nugget-making doesn't stop there! Because there's so much bacteria in this smushed chicken mess, the pink goo has to be soaked in ammonia. But who would want to eat pink, ammonia-soaked chicken goo? Nugget-makers accurately assume no one, so they add artificial flavoring and coloring.

I sometimes eat McDonalds while watching Super Size Me.

Okay, whether that pic is an urban legend or not, I can tell you guys that I worked in a Swift plant for a few weeks on a contract about fifteen years ago and on my last day, the guy I was working for gave me a tour of the place. It wasn't an actual slaughterhouse--everything that came to them was in that pink paste, like in the photo the OP posted, and it was sent to different areas of the plant where it was seasoned, shaped into whatever it was going to be--hot dogs, bologna, etc.--then baked.
I didn't eat cold cuts for a LONG time.

You can tell from the responses who's read what article.
Also, I love how in the Jamie Oliver clip there's only a five second disclaimer to point out that chicken nuggets aren't actually made that way in this country.

not any different from dough made from grain... it's essentially dough made from meet. Bake it into a tasty nugget shaped loaf!

Re: Chicken nugget fans!
I've never once gotten sick eating Chicken McNuggets. In fact, I've never gotten sick eating anything from McDonald's. It tastes good and doesn't make me sick, so what's the problem?
I've gotten sick a few times from food and it's never been from a fast food joint. Well, one time from a shitty taco place, but it wasn't a major name and I've never been back.
