Chicken nuggets, are they good for you?

[Bsuds]

We have started making our own Chicken nuggets for our Grandson who has Celiac.
We have enjoyed them way more than the store bought ones and the are much healthier.

Well, the article did accomplish one thing...it taught ThinkTank that chicken nuggets are not good for you.

Thanks for sharing TT, but we already knew.

You know, that actually happened to me once many years ago - ironically, after eating 20 mcnuggets. Even went blind for about 10 seconds. No joke.

It's a great hangover food. Other than that, it's hardly food. Some homeless guy's diarrhea has better nutritional values than Big Mac.

[grammafreddy]

Big Mac ... lettuce, tomato and onion - veggies.

.... bun - carbs

.... meat patties - protein

Sounds like it hits at least three food groups.

[Thinktank]

the mcdonalds buns are so cheap it's pitiful. Twenty chemical additives.
I would order their burgers without buns, and use my own bread.

^ If I'm gonna get fast food, I'll get Wendy's. Their burgers are the only ones that don't make me feel nauseous after eating them.
