I just ate 20 McNuggets

[Zeze]

McNuggets are made of mechanically separated by-product pink paste.

Wrong.

Incoming terribly wrong bullshit of 'McNuggets are made of mechanically separated by-product pink paste.'

So easy to hate on big corps and never check facts yourself, especially when half the very shit you eat is worse than McD.

I heard on Snopes that McNuggets were made with MSP from 2003 and before, but that's when they switched to breast meat.
I guess people just didn't get the memo when they switched.

 

[OCGuy]

Which is NOT what McNuggets are made of (100% white breast meat).

Wrong

Oh god this was a bad idea. Can't feel my brain.

On the bright side: it's only 800 calories!

You're going to die.

 

[IGBT]

ok..so maybe one or two were beaks and feet. The rest are pseudo chicken if you are lucky. And it's now all part of YOU.

 

[timosyy]

Love McNuggets. I get the 20pc all the time (20pc McNuggets... maybe a couple McDoubles too). Great way to quickly get a lot of calories/protein if you're working out/trying to bulk up.

I used to love chicken mcnuggets. They aren't as bad as people think they are, but I do find my brain entering a 'food coma' for a little bit after eating them. Could you do better for a meal choice? Definitely. Is it a completely horrible meal choice? Only if the rest of your diet is consistently poor...

Chicken McNuggets:
Chicken meat, water, modified corn starch, salt, chicken broth powder (chicken broth, salt and natural chicken flavouring), seasoning [(vegetable oil (soybean and/or canola), extracts of rosemary, mono, di and triglycerides (from sunflower oil) and soy lecithin)]. Breaded with: water, wheat flour, yellow corn flour, modified corn starch, salt, baking powder, spices (white and black pepper, celery seed), wheat starch, whey powder, sodium aluminum phosphate, corn starch, partially hydrogenated soybean oil (manufacturing aid). Cooked in 100% vegetable oil (Canola oil, corn oil, soybean oil, hydrogenated soybean oil with THBQ, citric acid and dimethypolysiloxane)

Yep, 9 nuggets were 2.69 here and 20 were 3.99. I figured what the hell since I've never had 20 before.

It's actually not too bad, considering I eat healthy the rest of the time. It's just the fat/sodium of the McNuggets that makes my brain melt for a few hours.

WTF? It still costs $4 for 6 here. 20 nuggets would cost something like $12+.

I'm pretty sure they would be all I would eat if they were that cheap.

Neither your link, nor the references that it contained said anything about the nuggets not being made of white breast meat.

Thats it? My buddy does more than that once a week. Its called his fat man special. He will get the Big Mac meal with large drink and fries, double cheeseburger, hot and spicy, 20 nuggets, another large fry, and a large milkshake. Needless to say, is is only about 5'6" and is 260lbs.

Check your blood glucose when you feel that, might be interesting to see if it's out of the normal range even if you don't have diabetes. Might be an indication of something in there that really is bad for you. Either that or you may have pre-diabetes. My point is I've never felt a food coma before and that is not normal and I personally would check it out as I know how dangerous poor blood sugar control can be on your health. Though I'm sure you'll choose to ignore it.

modified corn starch <---how is it modified? doesn't sound good for you.
mono, di and triglycerides <----not good for you
sodium aluminum phosphate <----definitely not good
partially hydrogenated soybean oil (manufacturing aid) <---not good
hydrogenated soybean oil with THBQ, and dimethypolysiloxane) <--bad

I used to eat 18 (6 pcsx3) all the time as a child for dinner. 20 is nothing.

oh well.

According to the op they're 800 calories now, and I doubt the recipe has changed much in the last 10~15 years. Even though I'm a pasty weakling now, I got outside and played sufficiently to burn that and 800 calorie breakfasts and lunches (which probably weren't anywhere near that anyways) with ease as a child. Fast food be underrated.

Losing weight isn't all of it. Over time the garbage in McD's will cause you many internal problems. Probably won't notice for a long time but keep eating that shit and you'll be having an open heart surgery. I have no doubt you can lose weight eating a McDonalds only diet.

Lol, none of the chicken from Mcdonalds has very much trans fat. I just had some dominoes pizza this weekend right. Must've had like 15grams of trans fat in there. If you developed a once a week dominoes habit youd be an easy candidate for heart surgery.

There is alot of food out there that is instant cardiac death at 40 if you developed a habit of eating them. Like Martins kettle cooked potato chips which are not really kettle cooked, but just fried in literally trans fat. 3g per serving, maybe you've eaten them. Then you can eat the same type of food, utz potato chips and they are simply salty but fried in cottonseed/canola/soybean whatever oil was cheaper that day, all utz is relatively healthy for you believe it or not.

All Beef from Mcdonalds has trans fat, so I literally get nothing but chicken there. The chicken nuggets are pretty ok for you.

Yeah, this.

The closest MCD to here charges $3.59 for 6pc. where the hell do you live that you can get 20pcs for that much.

 

[VirtualLarry]

Both BK and McD's have 20-piece nuggets for $5 around here. New England area.

I stopped eating McNuggets after I had a really bad incident. I ate one that has a HORRID strong taste, I can't really describe it, but it was NASTY. I ran to the garbage to spit it out, I did not want to look at what it looked like because I still had some in my mouth that I had to go rinse out. Even after going to rinse out my mouth I decided against looking in the garbage to see what the hell that was. I kinda regret it, because now I'm curious. My guess is that it was just an uncooked one, so it was probably raw pink slime stuff.

I had it maybe 2 times after that, and it was because someone bought it for me, so I just ate it and figured what are the odds it happens again. But I also figure if I continue eating them at the rate I was before I'd be bound to hit one again. I used to eat those all the time. They ARE good, but the thought of hitting a bad one again makes me too nervous when eating them and I don't enjoy it.

Or it was just a standard case of food poisoning. I need to compile a list of all your silly conspiracy theories.
