50 Chicken Nuggets
Feb 27, 2024
Since 1983, Mcdonald’s has been credited with the
popularization of the chicken nugget. They are now the
second largest consumer of chicken in the United States.
There are 13,438 McDonald’s in the U.S. McDonald’s
purchases over 300 million pounds of chicken per year. The
consumption of chicken has been rising since the early
2000s with little change to factory-farming practices.
50 Chicken Nuggets aims to recontextualize the chicken in
a capitalistic point of view to emphasize the commodification
of livestock.
