Do you know how chicken nuggets are made? A Quick Lesson from Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution

One of our readers emailed us this link to a Huffington Post article about how chicken nugget meat is processed, which reminded me of an episode from Jamie Oliver's, show Food Revolution.  I literally almost gagged while watching it, but it was an important lesson.


In the above clip from his show Food Revolution, Jamie Oliver shows little kids how a chicken is ground up (bits of bone, feathers, meat, and all) in a machine to make a pink paste, then mixed with flavorings and stabilizers to make it edible before being formed into patties.  As you can see from the clip, chicken nuggets are no longer real food but instead are a disgusting substance--who would want to eat that?!
