    CHICKEN MCNUGGETS

    Ingredients: White Boneless Chicken, Water, Vegetable Oil (Canola Oil, Corn Oil, Soybean Oil, Hydrogenated Soybean Oil), Enriched Flour (Bleached Wheat Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron, Thiamine Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Bleached Wheat Flour, Yellow Corn Flour, Vegetable Starch (Modified Corn, Wheat, Rice, Pea, Corn), Salt, Leavening (Baking Soda, Sodium Aluminum Phosphate, Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate, Calcium Lactate, Monocalcium Phosphate), Spices, Yeast Extract, Lemon Juice Solids, Dextrose, Natural Flavors.

    Contains: WHEAT.

    Cooked in the same fryer that we use for Buttermilk Crispy Chicken which contains a milk allergen.


    Edit:  the dispute was about being told they would have to go through the drive through again because they had failed to order them in the first place---and they were apparently furious about having to get back in the queue. This post was edited by tom jackson at November 11, 2017 9:28 PM MST

    Nothing beats a good dose of chemicals for a snack.

    Well, technically, doesn't anything we eat have chemical components?

    What bugs me is that they dont tell how much of any component is in it (or what a 'natural flavor' is)

    Bleached rotten chicken parts, including the beaks, feet, feathers and eyeballs.

    The Jungle is a 1906 novel written by the American journalist and novelist Upton Sinclair (1878–1968).[1] Sinclair wrote the novel to portray the harsh conditions and exploited lives of immigrants in the United States in Chicago and similar industrialized cities. Perhaps his main goal in exposing the meat industry and working conditions was to advance Socialism in the United States.[2] However, most readers were more concerned with his exposure of health violations and unsanitary practices in the American meatpacking industry during the early 20th century, greatly contributing to a public outcry which led to reforms including the Meat Inspection Act. Sinclair famously said of the public reaction "I aimed at the public's heart, and by accident I hit it in the stomach."

    (I read it in high school---required reading.  His information on the meat packing industry practices regarding meat processing were quite fascinating.)

    I have actually never eaten them and it's probably been 30 years since I had anything from McDonald's.  

    You might want to follow up on this:

    To further address the issue, the McDonald’s team visited a company processing plant in Ontario, Canada, to show how chicken is transformed into Chicken McNuggets. As the video shows, the transformation essentially begins with chicken breasts similar to those you’d spot at the supermarket. Never once do the ingredients look like the soft, squishy pink substance seen in that infamous photo posted and forwarded in horror around the world.

    I agree that we can't really know for sure---but to continually lie about the process could be devastating if they were ever found out.

    (Of course, I didn't think Nixon could be so stupid as to have done what he was accused of in Watergate---Obviously my logic was totally wrong.)

    Did you know that in America giant GM Soya Bean producers no longer have to put on their products that their Beans are genetically modified ....they control the law and the government .
    the small operator farmers are screwed and can't use their own seeds or the the conglomerates take them to court for seed copyright infringements.....

    in Anerica you don't know what you are eating and the damage your doing to your selves..... 

    In in years to come the human race will truely be screwed from the greed of a few ....
    Nature will kick back hard one day and the world will most likely stave....

    No, I didn't.  In retrospect, I am pleased that I never developed a taste for soy products.  My wife is actually allergic to them.

    The article said it happened at 3:00am.  I'd say the women could have been under the influence of something - - alcohol, drugs, an earlier order of McNuggets or downright fury --  but I give the a$$hole women credit for their physical dexterity in going in and out the window.

    (How dare the manager ask them to re-enter the drive-through line?)

    And the things I worry about that I think I do wrong? GEEZ

    I just watched the video and that is some crazy stuff.
    Did anyone watch the one from 2010?
    The chick even broke the drive thru window because they didn't sell nuggets at 10:30 in the morning. 
    She went to jail for that little stunt.
