It's actually not a lie, just the wrong picture. Pink slime is used in the US for many processed meat products.

Nah, once people found out, McDonalds jumped right off that bandwagon, and everyone else followed, cuz...you know. McDonalds.
RoboLuddite
I dunno, seeing as the picture was pretty much the main point of the post I'd say it's a good 80% lie.
This isn't really lying though. For places like McDonalds, it's true and mechanically separated chicken really does become pink slime
So? Have you ever butchered an animal yourself? Insides of dead things are generally disgusting. Also, Maccas doesn't use it at all anymore.

The image wasn't the only lie though: It's not in all fast food (not McD's), it doesn't contain eyes, guts etc. not soaked in ammonia etc.
IamCatHearMeRoar
The photo is wrong (obviously) but most of the passage is true.
Not really. Pretty much every sentence accompanying the image is a blatant lie:
It's not in all fast food (eg. McD's), it doesn't contain eyes, guts etc. not soaked in ammonia etc.
Why can't people google? The blog isn't technically wrong.
Which specific part is technically right? Because most of it either isn't true at all or is so grossly exaggerated as to still be a lie.

Not necessarily. But any group with a point to make is afraid of their message not spreading, lying puffs up an issue and generates buzz.
But then it's a little difficult for the message to seem valid if they were lying about it
Exactly, that's very much the problem. It totally discredits their movement and makes it very difficult to recover.
But in the end it always discredits the movement when the lies are discovered, so it's a bad strategy.

Statistically a hot dog is at least 35% pig anus. I. Fucking. Love. Pig. Anus. Gimme more of it.

Eeeh, plenty of candies have pig intestines/skin. Foodstuff engineering has made me ridiculously uncaring.
This is a hilarious fact.
I just made that shit up. But seriously gimme a pig anus so I can grill it and stuff it down my throat. Fucking love that shit.
Yeah, it seemed to be quite a high percentage of anus (wish I wouldn't have to use that sentence as often as I do)
Pork is good. Washed properly, I assume pork anus must be just as good.
2/3 from the pig meat. But given the context of human life?? 100,000 years ago we were eating raw mammoth dick and loving it.
1/3 It's more the too-fast factory floors where the mexicans cutting up the meat dont have time to properly seperate the shit (literal shit)
3/3 I dont GIVE A FUCK about some shitty pig shit in my food. Long as it tastes good.
And doesn't kill me!
Everyone should watch a video on how chicken nuggets are made. It's not even that gross, just really obvious and re-assuring.

Imagine the amout of food we would waste if we didnt do it this way... and the outrage that would ensue. Thats irony

Allboobandmoreboob
And at least we're using up as much of the animal as possible, right? Waste not want not!
Arrkhal
Actual mechanically separated chicken isn't as gross as what that moron describes, either. It's just the scraps of meat left on the bone
after the chicken is processed into individual breasts, wins, etc. Everything is ground up, including bones, then the bone is strained out.
iwantashortnameforonceohshit
How do they strain the bone out?
The meat/bone mix is forced through a very fine wire mesh screen. Meat squishes through, bone stays behind.
No organs, no eyes, no ammonia. Just pieces of regular meat which the line butchers couldn't remove from the carcass.
dickpuns
What never made sense to me: "Since this uncooked chicken has bacteria, we're going to add 4 different chemicals just to kill the bacteria 1
even though all meat is crawling with bacteria and that's why you fucking cook your food."
Sometimes your cooking isn't perfect and the cross-contamination risk rises. Also lot of it is simply heat/cold treatment.
All meat is still bacteria covered...
There is a huge difference between having your air stuff and listeria...

I get kind of upset at the male chicken meat grinder, but whatever.
And if people can't stomach it then maybe they'll stop eating them. That's a good thing too. Probably.
People usually go there because it's fast and cheap. I just watched how they actually make mcnuggets and it wasn't that bad
If people stop eating chicken nuggets... let's just Fermi the consequences of that. Not that I'm saying you're wrong, I'm just thinking (1)
with my fingers. Firstly, McDonalds will stop selling McNuggets, or at least, not having as many. So will supermarkets. Less of a demand (1)
just straight up means less stock. Less chickens will be used for chicken nuggets. Boils down to less chickens being bred into meat farms(3)
SomeDetroitGuy
Who can't stomach it? Really, they just grind up chicken meat, bread it, and fry it. It's really anticlimatic.

Wasn't supposed to take it that fucking seriously, obviously it doesn't. It's bad for, that is a fact. Go buy and cook your own food.
Yeah I really don't see the problem. I really don't care what part of an animal I'm eating, as long as it's safe to eat.
SirusKing
Even though it isn't true in the first place. The whitemeat alone is seperated, not the rest of it.
Yup. It only matters if you're paying for quality and don't get it. If I'm buying fast food, I'm not paying for quality.
aykyle
I personally couldn't care how its made. It tastes good. I eat it at most once a month. So I see no harm in it.

So you have a problem with it being dead? Interesting...
Of all the shit that causes cancer in this world, you're going to tell me this doesn't.
So now chickens cause cancer?
Of course it does. *All* meat causes cancer. As does almost everything. Like Oxygen.
in your body. Radiation causes cancer. Ergo, everything you will ever encounter can cause cancer.
Every single piece of matter undergoes radioactive decay. Photons are also radiation. You are made of matter and photons are buzzing around
SamboFirstMud
Yeah, I agree completely. Besides, animal-lovers can take comfort in the fact it saves us from wasting parts of an animal. (1/?)
I mean, we get more meat off the bones from it. Not to mention the eyeball. I wouldn't eat an eyeball alone like I would steak. (2/?)
Sure, they wash it in ammonia. But it's better than not washing it at all. And yeah, it taste good ultimately. Non-sarcastic high-five!
Flyndaran
Ammonia is waste produced by nearly all life forms. It's not freakishly foreign to our biochemistry or anything.

Where I live, people voluntarily eat cartilage, lungs, gizzards, eyes, marrow, what have you and I don't see anything wrong with it
I'm a fan of both =D Although sheep's eyes pass my comfort level
zeradeth
Depending on what country a person is from, they will view different cuts of an animal as acceptable for consumption. 1/?
For example, countries in Asia will use chicken feet and cow feet in their cooking and whereas people in the US would never touch them 2/?
let alone eat them. It all depends on where you were raised and your family's standing in the economy. More money = better cuts 3/3
TastyBrainMeats
Man, I really want to try chicken feet. My mom used to get them as a kid, but now nobody makes them anymore around me.
I think it's more historic wealth than current. These recipes develop over a history of poverty, but remain widespread in affluent times.
PrestigiousWaffle
*COUGH*rocky mountain oysters*COUGH*
CantCatchForShit
Chicken feet are delicious when marinated with soy sauce.
MissAndain
Is this sarcasm? I'm honestly not sure...
No. Seriously. Everyone should know how their food is made. I've watched a ton of videos on food production.
Ehehebottom
I work for a poultry company and just to set the record straight, there are no guts and eyes in the ground chicken meat. We grind up the 1/2
Trim from the chicken breast and separate the bones. Yeah there's a lot of fat in it but has no more bacteria than a regular chicken product

Chicken is the only meat I can eat (weird mental food aversion) and this post almost ruined my whole life. So thank you for explaining. +1

Wait, that video was from McDonald's??!?
randomplaceholder
"a lot of fat" please, chicken farm chicken have like 20% of the fat home-grown, properly fed and spaced chicken have.
20% would imply a lot less fat so I assume 120% is what you meant. Farm chickens are like super chickens though, you're right.

I think I'm the only person who watched it and went "I really want since chicken nuggets now".
ImgurnariumOfDoctorGiraffus
My dad worked from the line to upper management at a poultry factory for over 20 years, none of it is anymore horrible than you'd expect.
Allboobandmoreboob
And at least we're using up as much of the animal as possible, right? Waste not want not!
Arrkhal
Actual mechanically separated chicken isn't as gross as what that moron describes, either. It's just the scraps of meat left on the bone
Arrkhal
after the chicken is processed into individual breasts, wins, etc. Everything is ground up, including bones, then the bone is strained out.
iwantashortnameforonceohshit
How do they strain the bone out?
Arrkhal
The meat/bone mix is forced through a very fine wire mesh screen. Meat squishes through, bone stays behind.
Arrkhal
No organs, no eyes, no ammonia. Just pieces of regular meat which the line butchers couldn't remove from the carcass.

What never made sense to me: "Since this uncooked chicken has bacteria, we're going to add 4 different chemicals just to kill the bacteria 1
dickpuns
even though all meat is crawling with bacteria and that's why you fucking cook your food."
Shoura
Sometimes your cooking isn't perfect and the cross-contamination risk rises. Also lot of it is simply heat/cold treatment.
dickpuns
All meat is still bacteria covered...
Shoura
There is a huge difference between having your air stuff and listeria...

I get kind of upset at the male chicken meat grinder, but whatever.
civilianpride
And if people can't stomach it then maybe they'll stop eating them. That's a good thing too. Probably.
CrazyCarretta
People usually go there because it's fast and cheap. I just watched how they actually make mcnuggets and it wasn't that bad
GandalfTheUltraViolet
If people stop eating chicken nuggets... let's just Fermi the consequences of that. Not that I'm saying you're wrong, I'm just thinking (1)
GandalfTheUltraViolet
with my fingers. Firstly, McDonalds will stop selling McNuggets, or at least, not having as many. So will supermarkets. Less of a demand (1)
GandalfTheUltraViolet
just straight up means less stock. Less chickens will be used for chicken nuggets. Boils down to less chickens being bred into meat farms(3)
SomeDetroitGuy
Who can't stomach it? Really, they just grind up chicken meat, bread it, and fry it. It's really anticlimatic.
CrazyCarretta
and tasty

Maybe if they had said cock grinder, but I feel like that's asking too much

Consumption of cartilage, marrow, and gelatin are helpful to the human skeleton and teeth. Not the optimal way to consume them, but still.
Madfox40
funny how he fail the experience but still manage to say he is right
clutchthepearls
"Now they don't make them this way, but I want to scare these children into a different way of thinking." Good message...shit execution.
jweenypwee
Just looks like not wasting any part of the animal to me.
mechanubis
I know, right? That's a lot of perfectly good proteins right there.
ginangu
Can I get a link? Do they have it on How It's Made on Netflix?

Damn that's like 1000 times less gross then I imagined, and I eat fast food chicken all the time

You say that as if there's a vast difference in how the company operates in the two countries.
Kazumipierce
People make a really big deal about this. Its weird, but not horrible. It's acceptable food production, large scale meat preparation.
andyonetime
Thabk god for rational people!

Kazumipierce
Yeah. It's an unattractive process, but its totally efficient. It's safe, which leaves the only legit complaints attractiveness and cruelty.
popculturella
Agreed. I mean, I know what hot dogs are made out of and I still eat those. It's not a big deal.
BuysDrugsWithBitcoin
Chicken lips and assholes, they say.
RyanNoh
And don't even try to tell me it doesn't kill you just a little bit everytime we put this down our throats.
Jesusberry
well clearly you want no one to prove you wrong (which you are)
RyanNoh
Wasn't supposed to take it that fucking seriously, obviously it doesn't. It's bad for, that is a fact. Go buy and cook your own food.
flamingflamingo
Yeah I really don't see the problem. I really don't care what part of an animal I'm eating, as long as it's safe to eat.
SirusKing
Even though it isn't true in the first place. The whitemeat alone is seperated, not the rest of it.
Kazumipierce
Yup. It only matters if you're paying for quality and don't get it. If I'm buying fast food, I'm not paying for quality.
aykyle
I personally couldn't care how its made. It tastes good. I eat it at most once a month. So I see no harm in it.
FalcorTheUrinator
Right? It tastes good, and doesn't make me sick so who the hell cares how it's made?
Klingon00
Protein is protein.
SuomiOnHyva
I fee like if I'm gonna eat a dead thing I shouldn't be too picky
VodkaReindeer
So you have a problem with it being dead? Interesting...
RyanNoh
Of all the shit that causes cancer in this world, you're going to tell me this doesn't.
BuysDrugsWithBitcoin
So now chickens cause cancer?
RoboLuddite
Of course it does. *All* meat causes cancer. As does almost everything. Like Oxygen.
SirusKing
in your body. Radiation causes cancer. Ergo, everything you will ever encounter can cause cancer.
SirusKing
Every single piece of matter undergoes radioactive decay. Photons are also radiation. You are made of matter and photons are buzzing around
SamboFirstMud
Yeah, I agree completely. Besides, animal-lovers can take comfort in the fact it saves us from wasting parts of an animal. (1/?)
SamboFirstMud
I mean, we get more meat off the bones from it. Not to mention the eyeball. I wouldn't eat an eyeball alone like I would steak. (2/?)
SamboFirstMud
Sure, they wash it in ammonia. But it's better than not washing it at all. And yeah, it taste good ultimately. Non-sarcastic high-five!
Flyndaran
Ammonia is waste produced by nearly all life forms. It's not freakishly foreign to our biochemistry or anything.
88mixy
Where I live, people voluntarily eat cartilage, lungs, gizzards, eyes, marrow, what have you and I don't see anything wrong with it

I'm a fan of both =D Although sheep's eyes pass my comfort level
zeradeth
Depending on what country a person is from, they will view different cuts of an animal as acceptable for consumption. 1/?
zeradeth
For example, countries in Asia will use chicken feet and cow feet in their cooking and whereas people in the US would never touch them 2/?
zeradeth
let alone eat them. It all depends on where you were raised and your family's standing in the economy. More money = better cuts 3/3
TastyBrainMeats
Man, I really want to try chicken feet. My mom used to get them as a kid, but now nobody makes them anymore around me.
Kazumipierce
I think it's more historic wealth than current. These recipes develop over a history of poverty, but remain widespread in affluent times.
PrestigiousWaffle
*COUGH*rocky mountain oysters*COUGH*
CantCatchForShit
Chicken feet are delicious when marinated with soy sauce.
MissAndain
Is this sarcasm? I'm honestly not sure...
civilianpride
No. Seriously. Everyone should know how their food is made. I've watched a ton of videos on food production.
Ehehebottom
I work for a poultry company and just to set the record straight, there are no guts and eyes in the ground chicken meat. We grind up the 1/2
Ehehebottom
Trim from the chicken breast and separate the bones. Yeah there's a lot of fat in it but has no more bacteria than a regular chicken product
HogwartsAlumnus
Chicken is the only meat I can eat (weird mental food aversion) and this post almost ruined my whole life. So thank you for explaining. +1

Wait, that video was from McDonald's??!?
randomplaceholder
"a lot of fat" please, chicken farm chicken have like 20% of the fat home-grown, properly fed and spaced chicken have.
dickpuns
20% would imply a lot less fat so I assume 120% is what you meant. Farm chickens are like super chickens though, you're right.
