"Over the next six weeks, all the company's restaurants will be serving nuggets made from 100% white meat that will be lower in calories and fat content."

Nothing like making a farm state the test market for Adult Happy Meals. I am getting sick of hearing/seeing the commercials non-stop.

When I die, I expect them to be able to remove a whole McNugget, intact, from my left ventricle.

well.. chicken foams when you cook it sometimes.. you ever tossed a chicken in a pot of water and cooked it? foam happens. I dunno what that foam is.. but.. it's nasty. you really wouldn't like it pokin' itself outta your nuggets.

Wendy's and BK have probably been gaining chicken nugget market share so McD's is trying to make them better.
That's a good thing because McD's has the absolute worst chicken nuggets of any fast food place I have ever been to.
