Chicken McNuggets Anyone?

Have you ever asked yourself what really is in a McDonald's Chicken McNugget? No? I'll ask the question then. What is really in a McDonald's Chicken McNugget?

Most folks assume that a chicken nugget is just a piece of fried chicken, right? Wrong! Did you know, for example, that a McDonald's Chicken McNugget is 56% corn? And you know what else is inside? Tertiary butylhydroquinone, an antioxidant derived from petroleum that is either sprayed directly on the nugget or the inside of the box it comes in to 'help preserve freshness.'

Be intersting, if it was true. But if you look at the actual ingredients, it's obviously a lie.

Many moons ago, when I provided daycare in my home, a little boy would call chicken nuggets "chicken butts." Didn't care for them much after that.
