No matter how strange this food looks on conveyer belts or underneath baking lights, I would still eat it. Who cares if chicken nuggets are made out of paste that’s squirted out by huge machines? They’re still delicious. Share these awesome animated .gifs with others. Your entire friend list is going to be hypnotized.
