I am! They are very tasty.I mean, folks eat whole oysters. Think about it.
The food industry is pretty powerful and has a lot of influential lobbyist. They have made it so that certain terms don't really mean what you think it means. Things labeled as "fat free" are not actually totally devoid of fat. They just have to be under some amount of fat and they can be considered fat free. And as you pointed out, McDonald's doesn't use the word "meat." So it should make you wonder, what the helll is a white chicken? And they also don't really say what parts of that "white chicken" they used. They can get away with using the blood vessels and nerve cells, and other less appetizing parts, and still claim it Is "boneless white chicken."This is what I find for the official ingredients:

If non-white chicken parts were added, that seems to make this a mis-representation. What exactly does "white boneless chicken" mean, though? Notice they don't say "meat". There are a lot of issues with misleading terms. If a term is not given a regulated meaning, it becomes rather stretchy.
Thx!
