DESCRIPTION: If the bulk of fast food chicken nuggets is not actually chicken meat, what's in them?

To which other reports might the principal investigator be referring? I profiled similar pathology reports on burgers in What's in a Burger? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/whats-in-a-burger/) and hot dogs in What Is Really in Hot Dogs? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/what-is-really-in-hot-dogs-2/).

More on fecal contamination of chicken in Fecal Bacteria Survey (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/fecal-bacteria-survey/), fish in Fecal Contamination of Sushi (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/fecal-contamination-of-sushi/), and pork in Yersinia in Pork (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/yersinia-in-pork/). How can that be legal? See Salmonella in Chicken & Turkey: Deadly But Not Illegal (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/salmonella-in-chicken-turkey-deadly-but-not-illegal/).

More on the preservatives in chicken in Phosphate Additives in Meat Purge and Cola (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/phosphate-additives-in-meat-purge-and-cola/) and antibiotic contamination in Drug Residues in Meat (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/drug-residues-in-meat/). Estrogenic Cooked Meat Carcinogens (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/estrogenic-cooked-meat-carcinogens/) also build up in poultry in particular, something the Physicians Committee also tested for previously: Fast Food Tested for Carcinogens (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/fast-food-tested-for-carcinogens/).

If we're going to eat something chickenish that isn't chicken meat, why not truly boneless chicken: Chicken vs. Veggie Chicken (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/chicken-vs-veggie-chicken/).

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/autopsy-of-chicken-nuggets/ and he'll try to answer it!
