And there you have it how to make old style chicken nuggets. I wonder if he actually let them eat what he made or if he just put them on the plate as a show since they didnt show anyone eating them.

Simply turns my stomach. Those who say, "Yeah but it tastes good"- have at it. Nothing is more unappetizing than actually looking at where factory processed food is made, from rat poop and bug parts mixed into canned foods, just to seeing these cheap ingredients assembled on the conveyor belts- it's really not 'food' in any sense consumers probably think about when they get it in the end state at the store. I watched a program a few years ago on America's favorite snacks, even people who like Twinkies would probably draw a pause seeing this- mostly chemicals mixed with flower and water, then baked, then glazed with some other chemical to make it appear shiney and 'fresh,' the injection of lard into the cake for the filing, and then when you see the thousands of them on the machine belts, you certainly don't get a feel there's any 'magic' in them like the way television commercials advertise food. Totally machine made, no human involvement, and it's just extremely cheap looking. People found a way to mix something worthless together and sell it for a profit. The real irony is what the FDA permits to go into food, given the government's regulation of tobacco, alcohol or obsessive prohibition of illegal drugs.

Because of both the health issues of eating red meat and the poor ethical standards of factory produced animals generally, the only meat I can do is fish.




That's the way to do it- buy plain, add your own fresh fruit. I find the taste actually more agreeable, and I'm not getting a daily shot of high fructose corn syrup.

How about a hot dog instead?

There's more- it's not just the notion of whether it's appetizing or not, there is a serious health impact of all of this, the public at large sort of acknowledges it, but not really. Since it is defined as 'food' after all, since the government permits it (which of course usually has incestuous ties to the food and agriculture industry, hence the powerful food lobby), it must be safe to eat. There appears to be a high correlation between rates of breast and prostate cancer in the developed world, these tissues essentially store chemicals impacting cell development. Likewise, food allergies are practically unheard of in regions where they don't have these sorts of diets (although we can concede they might have other problems- high degree of food poisoning, cholera, or some such thing).

That is because anyone with a major allergy died as a baby.

...and this is why I buy all my meat from the Halal butcher at the market down the street, or the certified organic, hormone-free, nitrate-free grower I know personally at the State farmer's market.

Everything I've heard suspects a degree of correlation with local diets- specifically studies have taken note of this, at that, different allergies might be more common in different regions, seeming to justify the suspicion.

Of course there are trade offs- you can buy food with pesticides contained in them on the one hand, or perhaps risk some kind of bacteria contamination on the other if they aren't washed and prepared first.

I come from a long line of farmers ( I'm the first generation not to be a farmer ). I do get a kick out of the entire "organic, nitrate free" thing. Organic basically means "fertilized with manure and ash from burning the stubble" as opposed to the fertilizer from a bag........I'm not sure about the whole "nitrate free" business.....when we grew stuff like lettuce and cabbage that need a lot of green leaves ( in other words ..lots of nitrate ) you could do it a couple of ways.....get the nitrates from commercial fertilizer or from hen manure...which is PACKED full of nitrates. City folks tend to get highly upset when they find that their lettuce has been covered in hen #%&*$# ....but they love it when you sell it as "organic"

My cousins now make pretty good money selling "organic" veg.


and for those with "sensitive" stomachs.....just look up how "black pudding" is made YUM

Pasteurized or un-pasteurized honey? I did some research on honey recently and found out that the pasteurization process of honey destroys around 200 nutrients in honey. Most honey sold in stores is pasteurized.

After watching this video yesterday I don't even want to eat meat anymore. These people are cruel and subhuman. Think I will stick to fish or turn vegetarian.

Awww man you just made me remember a horrifying incident a few years back when the kids were a lot younger.My wife ,3 kids and I went into Mc Ds ordered their nuggets and as one of my kids were munching on their food I noticed something sticking out of one of the nugget's,on further examination I saw it was a chicks beak,honestly 100% true,wife went berserk and turned vegetarian to this day (15yrs)another nugget of any kind was never munched by any of us again and it was this incident which opened my eyes to the whole mechanical separation thing,course I knew where our food came from but back then it wasn't as well known about publicly as today I think.
Gives me shivers now when I think back to pulling that beak out of the so called nugget,lol.
