While most Americans believe that incidents like the “pink slime” scare are isolated, a new photo series by Peter Augustus, spotlighted in a recent Mashable article, argues that the public really doesn’t ever know what makes it into their burgers, nuggets, and meat sandwiches.
The series reveals the ugly truth about “mystery meat” by showing the real ingredients in a product like chicken nuggets (which include the tendons, bones, ligaments, and other chicken parts) juxtaposed with the finished product. As the article astutely points out, “Those ‘all white meat’ nuggets don’t seem as tasty when there are chicken feet beside them.”
But whether it’s feet, breasts, or “drum sticks,” all of these body parts are cut from animals who were brutally slaughtered after suffering miserable lives on factory farms.
Instead of supporting cruelty and needless death by purchasing these unhealthy meat products, why not adopt a delicious and humane vegan diet?
