OK - I eat Chicken selects, not nuggets surely that's gotta be different, right? ;-)

·         Researchers in Mississippi examined chicken nuggets at two different fast food chains and found that only about half of the nuggets were made of muscle meat

·         The rest of the nuggets were made of other chicken parts like fat, blood vessels, nerves, bones and cartilage

·         A representative for the National Chicken Council said it's no mystery what's in chicken nuggets since nutritional information is often available online or on the packaging

I tried regular nuggets once and just didn't like the taste, this could explain it.  The article didn't mention any specific chains of course, but I'm sure they all do the same stuff to their nuggets.
