Do they use ammonia and bleach to clean it though? I think not. That is the big difference. I don't think genetically modified is the same as not wasting any part of an animal that poorer nations have to do.

Justify what? Not throwing away perfectly edible parts of an animal? Oh, ok.

Because I guarantee you if we threw away all the "nasty" (yet completely edible) parts of animals, you people would be up in arms talking about: "Such a small percentage of meat is gathered from these animals before they're slaughtered! Meat eating is so terribly inefficient! Go vegan!" 

Where in the excerpt does it say bleach is used to clean the food? That's right, it doesn't. So stop propagandizing what is already a horrible piece of propaganda. 

Ammonia solutions aren't toxic to humans. But of course someone mentions a chemical name and you idiots go running around crying "unnatural! dangerous!".

The toxicity of ammonia solutions does not usually cause problems for humans and other mammals, as a specific mechanism exists to prevent its build-up in the bloodstream. Ammonia is converted to carbamoyl phosphate by the enzyme carbamoyl phosphate synthetase, and then enters the urea cycle to be either incorporated into amino acids or excreted in the urine.

And how does washing it with ammonia classify it as "genetically modified"? Please, humor me.

.

I came in here to say "dont care, if it tastes good, im gonna eat it", but actually ended up learning something.  good looks Bachellor

USDA? I'm in NASS...be back there during the winter...intern for 6 years tho?

This. When did people become so picky about what they eat anyways? Back in the early ages there was no need for whole foods, cooked foods, brown rice and whole wheat toast. People ate what tasted good. I love nuggets, I always knew they were gross though and I stopped eating them a while ago cause they were too unhealthy.

This..

dude blatantly disregarding the chemical treatment like its not an issue

Hey man, without all this high tech food processing, we probably couldn't feed a population this big and certainly couldn't be living as long.  This is all time we're borrowing from the ammonia boiled chicken paste.

I honestly don't give a #@%# if somethings made of out cow genitals,elephants eye or even alien slime...As long as something tastes good,I'll eat it. Can't believe some of you guys are scared of eating eyes and bones,dudes are spoiled 

. In other countries,people would prob kill to eat this #@%# so consider yourselves lucky.Most of it is you guys psyching yourselves out by thinking somethings gross when its not.

What it looks like while consumin>>>>>>>>>>>>>> what it looks like before consumin

 

[240Zestways]

At everyone just believing that what OP posted was 100% true and making life decisions like "Never eating nuggets again even though I love them".

Come on guys do some research before you believe crap like this.
