I didn’t find that very disturbing either. When I saw the chicken carcasses going in to the machine, I thought they could be useful for chicken soup if they weren’t going to “mechanically separate” them. But actually, I think the final product, (as seen at 0:25 or so) looks quite similar to the OP’s picture, though slightly less DayGlo. ---

I actually got hungry watching that vid. ---

I masturbated while watching it. ---

I fucked a chicken carcass that was rescued from mechanical separation. (I always imagined mechanical separation meant that someone like Rosie from The Jetsons was pulling it apart.) ---

Mmmm, meat paste. I don’t find ground meat disgusting, nor do I find the fact that hotdogs are made out of non-muscle carcass bits scary. How much different is this than boiling a picked chicken carcass to make some delicious stock? ---

Good God, you weren’t messing around when you picked your user name. ---

It sounds better than what your coworker eats, that’s for damned sure. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/perhaps-the-single-most-disgusting-picture-i-have-ever-seen/526505.md?page=2)
