Yeah, I'll take real chicken parts.
"Mechanically separated" chicked is the stuff that has to be scraped

deemed unsuitable for human consumption (changed by the food lobby?), is
a pink goo during manufacture and has to have poison added to it to kill
all the bacteria. I've never had chicken nuggets.
