UPDATE: Friday January 27th, 2012 at 10:45 AM - A friend of mine wrote me last night in regards to the process of washing the chicken "meat" in ammonia and this is what he had to say: "The nuggets article got me reading and I think you included something incorrect. Soaking nuggets in ammonia is not common practice. As a science nerd, I'm pretty sure Anhydrous Ammonia would be deadly. I couldn't find any credible info, but Snopes says that the ammonia rumor comes from the fact that refrigeration leaks have contaminated ground meat in the past. Just thought you may want to hear what I found."

This story comes just a short time after the nugget whore who offered up sexual favors in return for these delicious chicken nuggets. I, myself, really enjoy the occasional chicken nugget and can understand ones appreciation; What I don't understand is how you could survive on JUST nuggets for nearly 15 years.

Stacey Irvine was introduced to her favorite food at the age of two, when her mother bought her the delicious fried meat. She enjoyed them so much that she has stuck to these (and sometime's KFC's) for many years and occasionally has a piece of toast for breakfast as well. Miss Irvine has never had any fruits or vegetables, which is just crazy in my opinion.

Shocked doctors learned of her habit when the factory worker, from Castle Vale, Birmingham, collapsed and was taken to hospital after struggling to breathe.

The young teenager has swollen veins in her tongue and has also been diagnosed with anaemia. Medical employees gave her some injections as well as an urgent course of vitamins. She has managed to live very long with extremely poor nutritional habits.

Miss Irvine, who prefers McDonald's treats but also enjoys KFC's, told The Sun: 'I am starting to realise this is really bad for me.'

Evonne Irvine, Stacey's mother, has two other children who are much different from their elder sister. Leo who is five-years-old and Ava who is three-years-old are both healthy eaters. I think this mother must have learnt from her mistake. Maybe if Stacey Irvine saw the photo of how chicken mcnuggets were made, she'd have a change of heart.

The photo above is McDonald's Chicken McNugget "meat" that is mechanically separated. What does that mean, you ask? Well, it means that the company realized they can scrape the bones from the animal with a machine and get this lovely pink paste you see above. Unfortunately, the process doesn't end here. After the bones have been scraped, the "meat" is then washed with ammonia to get all the residual bacteria removed. And well, because it tastes so awful, it will be artificially  re-flavored and died with artificial color to get rid of that odd pink color.  Then, many people all over ingest this product into their body, just like Miss Stacey Irvine. McDonald's gains a profit, and you lose years of your life! What a great deal!
