You like chicken nuggets don't you?

nice post on BoingBoing to wet your appetite in case you never watched the must see movie "Earthlings".

above Visual treat of the day: mechanically-seperated chicken paste.

Someone figured out in the 1960’s that meat processors can eek out a few more percent of profit from chickens, turkeys, pigs, and cows by scraping the bones 100% clean of meat. This is done by machines, not humans, by passing bones leftover after the initial cutting through a high pressure sieve. The paste you see in the picture above is the result.

This paste goes on to become the main ingredient in many a hot dog, bologna, chicken nuggets, pepperoni, salami, jerky etc…

The industry calls this method AMR – Advanced Meat Recovery.

Mechanically separated chicken paste looks like strawberry soft serve
