You Love Chicken Nugget?

So you love chicken nugget a lot? We fry it for afternoon tea, cook it for lunch or dinner. We take it as snacks. But what I read on a website Singapore's Straits Times STOMP, is a bit sickening. I copy and post as what appeared in the STOMP. Whether you believe it or not is another matter.  

 STOMPer Chikken felt his stomach turn when he found this picture of mechanically-separated chicken meat in an email. Apparently, this meat product is what chicken patties and nuggets are made of.

The STOMPer wrote:

"This is just... sickening.

"Apparently this squishy pink goo is what our chicken nuggets and chicken burgers are made of... And I thought it was soft strawberry ice-cream at first!

"According to an email I received from a friend, chickens are forced through a sieve, guts, bones, eyes and all, to separate meat from the bones.

"The 'meat' is then soaked in poisonous ammonia to kill all the bacteria, before it is reflavoured to taste like chicken again.

"The worst part is how the 'meat' comes out a weird pink colour. Apparently it has to be dyed to resemble chicken meat once more as well.

"I'll never look at my beloved nuggets the same way again."

Its just coincidence I found this webpage about the above article and more is revealed. It was published on the Huffington Post.

Someone figured out in the 1960s that meat processors can eek out a few more percent of profit from chickens, turkeys, pigs, and cows by scraping the bones 100% clean of meat. This is done by machines, not humans, by passing bones leftover after the initial cutting through a high pressure sieve. The paste you see in the picture above is the result.
