Morgan Spurlock:
In the lawsuit against them, McDonald's stated that it is a matter of common knowledge that any processing its foods undertake serve to make them more unhealthier than unprocessed foods. Case in Point: McNuggets.
[animated cartoon segment, with a chicken on a walker approaching a farmer]
Morgan Spurlock:
Originally created from chickens too old to lay eggs, McNuggets are now created from chickens with unusually large breasts.
[the farmer suddenly gets an idea. He grabs the chicken and puts it into a machine called the Nuggetron 5000]
Morgan Spurlock:
They are stripped to the bone, and ground up into a sort of chicken mash, which is then combined with all sorts of additives and preservatives, pressed into familiar shapes, breaded and deep-fryed, freeze-dried, and then shipped to a McDonald's near you.
[as he's saying that, the chicken enters a series of devices that ground it up, and then hits another device that removes the bones. The boneless chicken goes up a belt and has its head sliced off by a blade, and then the mash goes up into another machine. It comes out and is compressed into McNugget shapes, put into a deep-fryer, and then the finished nuggets come out on the conveyer belt, where the farmer picks one up]
Morgan Spurlock:
Judge Robert Sweet called them a McFrankenstein creation of various ingredients not utilized by the home cook.
[Cuts to a poster of a chicken, above which is the question "Can you find the nuggets on this chicken?" The camera pans down to reveal the answer: "Neither could we."]
