Pink goo -- Updated [Bryan]

Try to guess what the below substance is...



And the answer is...Chicken McNuggets. Apparently they grind up the meat material and it comes out looking like pink goo. Then they have to dye it back to a more edible color. Yuck. Not sure I'll be eating any more of those.

Update: The American Meat Institute chimes in, claiming that this stuff isn't in all chicken nuggets, only some of them. I guess that is comforting. I guess.

OK, that's seriously so disgusting! Did you ever see Food Revolution with Jamie Oliver last season...probably not! He did an experiment with children to show them how chicken nuggets were made and I've never been able to eat them since. This just reinforces the notion...thanks! Glad I'd already eaten breakfast!

Thanks Bryan, since I read your blog post, I don't think I'll ever eat processed chicken again...and I'm using my leverage to encourage my family to do the same. This is good motivation to eat fresh food. I wonder, what else don't we know about how our food comes to us? I think I"ll plant a garden...
