"The study—published online in The American Journal of Medicine—suggests
they may as well be called fat and blood vessel nuggets, since that's
what most of the food is. Dissecting nuggets from two different national
fast-food chains, researchers found some are composed of about 50
percent skeletal muscle, with the rest consisting of fat, blood vessels,
and nerves. (Ack!)
"I was floored," Richard deShazo, MD, UMMC distinguished professor of medicine, pediatrics, and immunology. "I had read what other reports have said is in them and I didn't believe it. I was astonished actually seeing it under the microscope."
"What has happened is that some companies have chosen to use an artificial mixture of chicken parts rather than low-fat chicken white meat, batter it up and fry it, and still call it chicken," Dr. deShazo adds. "It is really a chicken by-product high in calories, salt, sugar, and fat that is a very unhealthy choice. Even worse, it tastes great and kids love it and it is marketed to them."
The study didn't even get into the issue that most fast-food nuggets come from factory-farmed chickens, ones given chronic doses of antibiotics, arsenic, and other drugs.
For the best chicken, purchase meat from grass-fed birds that also were only fed organic grains. The chickens live a better life and yield healthier meat under those conditions. Visit LocalHarvest.org to find farmers in your area that raise meat the way you want it".
