Do you feel like chicken tonight?

I came across a news article tonight about a girl who has eaten nothing but chicken nuggets since she was two. Despite reading this article on a UK based news website my initial thoughts were that she probably resides in the US not UK. I must admit I was also expecting the girl to be obese but was surprised to see that she "appears" to look healthy which goes to show that appearances are deceiving after all.

It's astonishing that it's taken her this long to concede that her chicken nugget only diet is having a negative effect on her health. There is a plus side to all this though, least she's a cheap date for her boyfriend.

For those that aren't aware, chicken nuggets are generally produced from bad chickens grounded to the bone and combined with preservatives. There are many videos on the web that illustrate this and one particular clip I'm a fan of is Jamie Oliver's, from his US school dinners series. Unfortunately in the US version he fails miserably to convince the school children that processed meat is bad.

Admittedly I do find chicken nuggets tasty but as with everything else in life, they should be consumed in moderation. Alternatively, you can try making them yourselves and then you're guaranteed they'll be free of preservatives.

This is just another reminder that despite the fact I promote junk food products, it's very important to have a varied and balanced diet coupled with regular bouts of exercise. Go on, treat yourself then!
