Came across this video this morning and I am not so sure what to think about it. On one hand, I too am as grossed out as Jamie Oliver is in this video, but on the other hand I have to admit that his 'yuck' reaction seems to be more in line with 'since it is not something that we normally call food, it can't possibly be food'.
There are other cultures in the world in which bones, tendons, cartilages, organs, giblets, etc. are all considered usable and edible parts of an animal, cultures where animals are considered sacred enough to use all parts of the slaughtered animal and nothing is left to waste.
That said, I am still myopic enough to echo Jamie Oliver's 'yuck' reaction and am certainly not accepting of all the additives and chemicals that are added to make the paste 'yummy'. I am now wondering at the wisdom of having agreed to let my kids eat Chicken Nuggets at McDonald's atleast once during our upcoming road trip. Hmmmn.....what to do??
