I had to laugh at this part as well, although I get that he's talking about poor quality pizza for breakfast. In our house this is a common breakfast of leftovers-basically ww bread dough, good veggies and cheese.

You can watch the first two episodes free on ABC. He also has a petition going on his own site - not the ABC one. I don't know if I can post a link to a petition...I don't know that it's terribly targeted or anything, but it's something interesting. I loved the show! Yes, it has its television imperfections, but on the whole, I really like the message. And I'm horrified, of course. I have to admit I've been quizzing my kids on veggies...but since their favorites are brussel sprouts & asparagus, I guess they're ok.

As for the chicken nugget thing - I have to say, I'm all for using the whole chicken, but pureed carcass just, I don't know...makes me queasy. I make stock with mine!
