Burger King sells 10 chicken nuggets at $1.50. While I understand this is a “loss leader,” how are they still able to produce nuggets this cheaply? Is it made of fake meat or something? Are restaurants actually allowed to serve/sell fake meat?

Chicken is very cheap. A broiler reaches maturity within six weeks and can be fed with different cheap scrap food. They have been bread to produce a lot of meat and eat very little. During their six week lifetime they eat less then twice their weight. It have really become an industry. In addition to this the chicken nuggets that is being sold is very cheap because you can not tell which part of the animal they are from. It is usually scrap pieces left over after the more desired big pieces of meat have been cut from the chicken. It is still meat from chicken but not the juicy filet that you might see in a deli.
