==Obit==
According to [[Fox News Channel|FNC]], the guy who invented chicken nuggets was a food science professor at some university in the northeast[ern US]. Something Baker. He died on 15 Mar. 2006. If they repeat the blurb again, I'll fill in more details here. Until a citable source (not that I'm calling FNC "unreliable" just I have no idea how to cite a cable news show according to White!) can be found, I'd say to keep it out of the article tho...

:OK, the guy's name seems to have been Dr. [[Robert Carl Baker]] (should be added to [[Robert Baker]] if an article about him is created), and he was an [[Animal Science]] professor at [[Cornell University]]. Here are some relevant texts with their associated links (some more relevant to Dr. Baker than to chicken nuggets ''per se''):

:*'' 'BarbecueChicken' Bob Baker Inducted into Poultry Hall of Fame ''
:'' Robert C. Baker '43 was inducted into the American Poultry Hall of Fame in Atlanta, Georgia, at an International Poultry Exposition this past January. His picture and details of his accomplishments in the field of poultry science will be placed in the Hall of Fame building at the University of Maryland.''
:'' Baker was on the faculty in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences for 40 years. He taught seven courses and published 290 scientific papers. He developed 47 new poultry meat and egg products, including chicken and turkey hot dogs, cold cuts of various kinds, and chicken nuggets. All of these products are on the market today. During his career, Baker traveled to 24 countries to work with food companies in developing new poultry meat and egg products. ''
:'' Baker may be best known, though, for the Cornell Barbecue Sauce he developed for chicken.''[http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:KYoHDqKRayUJ:www.cals.cornell.edu/200405_News_Bite.cfm+%2B(%22Robert+Baker%22+OR+%22Rob+Baker%22+OR+%22Bob+Baker%22)+%2B%22Cornell+University%22+%2B%22chicken+nuggets%22&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=2&client=firefox-a] (May 2004, Cornell University's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences newsletter) [[User:TShilo12|Tom]]<font color="#008000">[[Wikipedia:Esperanza|e]]</font>[[User:TShilo12|r]][[User talk:TShilo12|<sup style="font-variant: small-caps; color: #129dbc!important;">talk</sup>]] 07:38, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

:::The L.A. Times has an obit [http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/california/la-me-baker17mar17,1,6100921.story?coll=la-headlines-pe-california], as does Cornell's News Service [http://www.news.cornell.edu/stories/March06/Baker_obit.html]. I think this quote from Baker is interesting: "When the nuggets came out in the 1950s, they weren't too popular." [[User:Btm|btm]] <sub>[[User talk:Btm|talk]]</sub> 06:18, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

== Composition section ==

The composition section is in need of some improvement -- I've marked some spots. It's also possibly US centric when speaking of food packaging laws. Since the claim was unsourced, I couldn't see if the source was something referring to US or more international food regulations. &mdash; [[User:Northgrove|Northgrove]] 10:24, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
