Father of the Chicken McNugget dies: Food industry inventor and entrepreneur Herb Lotman, who developed the mass-production system for making McDonald's frozen hamburgers, has died. He was 80. He "developed the first total distribution concept for McDonald's in the late-1960s with the use of cryogenics and helped conceive the Chicken McNugget in the 1980s."
