Left Over Food

Why everyone love chicken nugget? What is in chicken nugget that people love so much? Is it because of the taste and texture? I am the person who also loves to eat chicken nugget, and like anybody else, I love to eat chicken nugget because it is deep fried food. Who doesn’t like deep fried food? The crunchiness of the deep fried outer layer, the soft and chewiness on the inside, and topped with ketchup, chili sauce and mayonnaise in your mouth. Who can resist food like that?

But, I have seen how they made chicken nugget. Although it doesn’t practice in all industry, but some of them still do this kind of practices. In the industry, if they have a chicken, the edible parts that they can use are the chicken legs, and the chicken breast. So, where are the rest go? Will it be thrown away? The answer is no. if it is only one or two chicken then that is fine to throw away, but, in the big industry, they didn’t only use one or two chicken, they might use one thousand or ten thousand or even more. If they throw away the remaining part of the chicken it will be a big cost for them. So, they do brain storming on how to sell this remaining part of the chicken to the customers. Then, they come up with a brilliant idea to combine all of the remaining parts, like the bone, head, feet, connective tissue and skin, and blend them together finely. And now, they have a chicken paste, but because there still have some bone parts, connective tissue, they have to put it in the strainer to have the clean part of the chicken paste. Then, to make it taste nice and smells nice, they put in stabilizer to stabilize, flavoring, and mix it all up, and lastly they put bread crumb for the covering and deep fried it. And surprisingly, people from all over the world love it so much.

With ingredients like that, it is not surprising that if you eat a lot of chicken nugget you can get sick. Well, in short term you will feel not energetic, or even anemia. It is cause because, there is no important nutrition such as calcium, fiber, vitamins, antioxidants, and healthy fats in chicken nugget, and it is high in calorie.
