That Ain't Meat!

Quote from: "jldunston"
I still like their chicken nuggets even though I'm certain they contain no actual chicken.  

One day I will make a fortune on a hand-held device that detects whether or not the McNugget you are holding contains actual white meat, or that greasy gray spongy puke-mess.  Only when I have a working prototype will I trust McDonald's again.

My boyfriend brought home little mini chicken drums that's ingredients read:  "mechanically separated chicken." Strange.

mmmmmm....mechanically seperated meat
« Reply #2 on: September 17, 2003, 07:36:17 pm »
Oh yeah.  That means the meat is removed from the bones and the other largely inedible parts by machine, rather than by human hands.  Which usually means that you get more bone and other nasty bits in it.

Check out this article, which contains the immortal quote, "What we're talking about here is something that may not be meat."

"Until two years ago, the product was not called meat." Nice.

That reminds me of the first time I saw the box for Subway's chicken: caramel color and grill marks added.

Creepy.

you could offer semen and urine vision too.  Or maybe I don't want to know that information.

there are garlic giraffe steaks from Blue Water, and when you microwave them grill lines magically appear. If you watch thru the microwave window you see them gradually appearing.  It's just not right

How the bloody damn hell do they do that?  Now I'm going to have to buy some just to see that happen.  CRAP

I just, and I think I said this before somewhere here, refuse to eat anything that's not natural (if I can help it).
I'm not anal about organic food and shit, but I avoid reformed meat (same as mechanically seperated usually, and then put back together to look like a seducing slice of ham... or not!) and fast food like the plague.
It just tastes bad, and makes me lose my appetite.
I spent nearly a year basically vegetarian because of this, as a student. I was unable to afford decent meat for a while, so I ate some bacon, and the odd cut of meat when I could treat myself, but most of it I didn't eat meat.

I'm a vegetarian now, but I used to have a soft spot for mechanically separated "ribs" sold in my middle school cafeteria.

I, too, will admit to a fondness for mechanically separated "ribs" despite knowing of their skeeviness. Actually, I enjoy most mechanically-processed "meat" things way, way too much. I'd be a vegetarian, really, except for inertia and horrible, horrible taste.

I'm vegan.   Things I eat usually don't come mechanically separated.  On the other hand, they don't do magical things in the microwave.

I'm omniverous, but I usually try to buy, cook and eat quality foods. We avoid prepackaged food as much as possible and the only reason we bought a microwave was to heat up formula for the baby in the middle of the night. In Hawaii there is no Whole Foods. Otherwise I would shop there most of the time.

I am intrigued by the microwave-induced grill marks, though. And, I must confess, in line with the others, (not to mention Homer Simpson) I do usually buy one whenever the McRib comes back around. I <know> it's 100% artificial food. But it's full of chemical goodness.

And what's the deal with the McRib? Real bones in the McNuggets, fake bone-shaped meat protrusions in the McRib.

I swear.
