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?Plus the many other ingredients that can be found in the article below.

Yummy, lighter fluid.
I don't eat at McDonalds though. I don't eat fast food very much but when I do the only fast food restraunts I don't mind are Wendy's or Chik-fil-a. They probably aren't any better but they don't seems as bad as McDonalds does.

I can't stand McDonalds, seems like everything they have gives me a stomach ache within 15 to 30 minutes of eating it.

I think Chick-fil-a is one of the more... healthier places to go eat for fast food. I love their fries! Every once in a blue moon I'll go to McDonald's and get a coke and a big size thing of fries but that's about it. Chick-fil-a is best for fast food but it's $$$ but it's worth it!

Gross, fast food is disgusting. You can make your own food cheaper, and much much tastier.

Well im actually surprised that there is any chicken in it to be honest :P and who would actually believe the McDonald's averts when they say that they use 100% chicken breast anyway

I haven't had a McDonald's, Burger King etc for some time now and i plan to keep it that way as well

Ditto! I would especially avoid fast food places after viewing the documentary film Super Size Me.

Indeed Andavari that documentary was an important eye opener, as to the effect that fast food can have on you, if you solely only eat that particular diet (well if you could consider it a diet ^_^ )

Same here.

I was put right off chicken nuggets (of any kind) when Jamie Oliver did his healthy school meals campaign and in one of his programs showed what the 'chicken' in these nuggets looks like before its cooked - it was just a vile looking sludge, and when he cooked it it just looked like a normal nugget. Was supposed to put the kids off them but it put me off too :unsure:
