Oozing eels of flavored meat paste are probably the least disturbing things in the food industry. Hey, at least we're not wasting any of the chicken!

That picture didn't put me off from eating McDonalds the massive stomach ache I got from the last couple times I ate there did.

Ah yes, i was about the same age when I saw that too...and got to know the "insides bucket"...and what shade of color sheep stomach actually has..
Hell, one summer, a mountain lion slaughtered a few couple lambs (but ran away before eating them), and we BBQ'ed the lot of them, cause why waste good meat?
Watching a horse giving birth incident at age six, however, was a worse experience.

Man, I've helped slaughter a handful of animals and none of that shit bothered me on a visceral level like this did.

I yearn to be closer to my food sources. The only way I can realistically do that now is to get FROM BEYOND's monster lamprey to somehow materialize in my fridge.

...added to the Indignation list? Don't get me wrong - I'm not defending McD's or fast food in general, nor am I saying it's not gross ('cause it totally is), but we all (for the most part) eat SOMETHING on that list, even if we shun the McNugget.
I know that most foods of that type are constructed using materials and methods that could well turn my stomach if I ever knew all the details, but with that said, I live in a comforting zone of ignorance when it comes to hotdogs and I intend to remain inside it. I rarely eat them, but all the same they are delicious and I wouldn't want to remove the hotdog keystone from my food pyramid.

EDIT: I also agree with Anderson that the consumer cannot effect change. This is my take on pollution/conservation too. It's all well and good to tell people to recycle their trash, but it's not going to stop global warming. It's a shell game, because the only action that can bring about the change we need is government action. Until you legislate how McNuggets can be produced, nothing substantive will change

I don't apologize for the choices I make in life. I have the internet and Discovery Channel if I want to find out how my food is processed. I'm well aware that unless I raise the chicken myself terrible things happen to it on the way to my plate. The last thing I need is some self-righteous do-gooder sending me this picture in my email and telling me McNuggets are bad. I'm an adult - and to me the "I'm better than you because I don't eat this" attitude is worse than the lump of undigested meat-product that rests comfortably in my large intestine. I guarantee anyone who reads this today will shrug and probably have McD's for lunch.

Also, McDonalds exist world-wide, so unless you live in Antarctica or you're in a coma I guarantee you've eaten one of their cheeseburgers. It's like people who say "I've never had a drink of alcohol" or "I never lie". This isn't just a USA thing, people.

Every time this picture or anything related comes up you can always count on responses like "It still tastes great! What are you some fucking pussy? Go eat some arugula!"
Well, go eat some.

...and every day brings lab-grown meat closer to reality:

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/s...oryId=90235492
http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/200...little-cometh/

The image of Chicken Little, referenced in the second link, has stayed with me ever since I first read The Space Merchants (written in 1952!) more than 20 years ago.

That, to me, seems far better than any of the various meat options/products/derivatives we're consuming today.

Excerpt from the book:
Quote:
Scum-skimming wasn't hard to learn. You got up at dawn. You gulped a breakfast sliced not long ago from Chicken Little and washed it down with Coffiest. You put on your coveralls and took the cargo net up to your tier. In blazing noon from sunrise to sunset you walked your acres of shallow tanks crusted with algae. If you walked slowly, every thirty seconds or so you spotted a patch at maturity, bursting with yummy carbohydrates. You skimmed the patch with your skimmer and slung it down the well, where it would be baled, or processed into glucose to feed Chicken Little, who would be sliced and packed to feed people from Baffinland to Little America.

This. So fucking sick of the "delicious murder" crowd. Yay for being proud of doing something that's bad for every single link in the chain, from the animal to your health! It's our right as Americans to fuck the planet in the ass if we want, dammit! Yawn.

Yeah, not wanting to be preached to about your food on a movie messageboard is one thing; taking pride in willful ignorance is another.

Pretty much my reaction. I eat mostly vegetarian, but don't see meat as inherently bad. But there's a big fucking divide between dead chickens and cows, and this sludge.

They soak it in ammonia to kill the bacteria crawling all over it? Fuck, I knew about the chicken paste already but not that little detail.

I knew about the whole chicken paste deal, but never about the ammonia bath. That's horrifying. You know how many chicken nuggets we stuffed our faces with when we were growing up? Gross.

Yes. And gummies are disgusting. But not because of what they're made out of and how. Something about gummie candies needed to be slathered in mineral oil to "wash" them free from the cornstarch and to make them slick and shiny puts me off.


Also, lye is used a lot in large scale food production. Like making pretzels for instance. The distinct "pretzel flavor" is just a dip in Baking Soda or some other alkaline solution (I love baking pretzels). However, for huge production of pretzels they usually bathe the pretzels in a Lye solution to keep costs down.

Nope, that's pretty much it. But I swear once a week I encounter someone who's amazed that as a vegetarian I don't eat gelatin, and after I explain it to them, still go "well that doesn't really count, though"

Even better, beaver anus gland juice aka castoreum, is sometimes used to enhance the flavor of candies, specifically raspberry flavored ones.
