This doesn't bother me in the slightest.

Firstly, you know when you eat something like that that it isn't going to be the healthiest thing in the world, so you can't complain that it's bad for you.

Secondly, ammonia is a natural chemical that is necessary for human life. The amount of ammonia one would have to ingest to be harmful to a human is huge, and actually ingesting that much would be unthinkable because of the horrendous taste it would impart to the food.

Thirdly, with regards to tendons, blood, eyeballs, etc., the only reason that bothers people is because of social conditioning. Billions of people all over the world would be happy to eat those parts of an animal.

I find it so silly that people will eat something, think it tastes really good, then will stop eating it once they find out what it is. If it tasted good before you knew what it was, it tastes good after and knowing it's testicle, or horse meat, or snails, doesn't change that.

Blood mixed in there? In the meat from an animal? No shit.

Enjoying a meal is more than just taste, it's sight and smell, texture in your mouth and also the subjective attitude towards the meal.

There's a slight difference between finding out you're eating offal when you've previously espoused to dislike offal intensely, and finding out that the nugget you are eating is a homogenised waste product that is chemically treated, flavoured and dyed to work around the massive bacterial load. I'm wondering what the profit margin is on those offcuts once you take out the cost of "disguising it's origins so human's will accept it's 'chicken'".
