      shudder

      Chicken nuggets are processed meat. Spam is. Lunch meat is. Most ham is.

      It’s gonna be marginal quality because of how military contracts go, but processed meat is not the problem.

        Oh man, you know what those all have in common? They’re not just called processed meat slabs. I eat a lot of tofu, but I don’t want to eat something gray and shiny called a processed fermented bean slab.

        If they could call it anything else, they would

          Interesting.

          You require a cute name for food before you will eat it? Because calling it “mechanically separated chicken” doesn’t work for you, but “chicken nuggets” does.

          Well, if having to lie to yourself to make food delicious works for you, more power to you.

          I, on the other hand, am firmly aware of what I’m eating. I don’t need anyone to lie to me about it.

            And completely unaware of the role that plays in most people’s enjoyment of food. Being a weirdo is no excuse to dismiss the experiences of others.

            Interesting. I don’t think I mentioned “chicken nuggets” working for me, let alone the rest of that, but I wouldn’t want to suggest that you’re responding to a whole lot of things I didn’t say.

            Perhaps I’m just not worthy of responding to such an idol of pragmatism.
