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?

No, it’s actual chicken meat. There’s other ingredients, to boost flavor and adjust the texture, but US law prohibits selling something as chicken that wasn’t originally part of a chicken.

A lot of chickens are raised in this country, and when you buy as much as a fast food chain you get a much better price per pound than any private citizen.
