Tastes Like Chicken

Is anyone else concerned about McDonald's newest creation, Chicken McBites?  It's just a bunch of tiny pieces of breaded chicken.  Not a bad idea on its own, and the fun-loving bohemian young people in the ads certainly like them.  But really, you can't be serious that there's more of the chicken left after you've made the McNuggets? 

I can think of three possibilities:
  • They've found a way to make more of the chicken edible.  Giblets, unpleasant parts of chicken anatomy are now processed into a meat-like texture.
  • They've been stockpiling left-over chicken pieces ever since they started serving chicken.  So now they have to do something with thirty years of, say, chicken tongues.
  • Hormones and genetic engineering have made chickens bigger.  But for some reason, the excess meet only comes in small spherical pieces.
