What is your objection to mechanically processed meat? Sure, the process doesn't sound appetizing, but it's a way to ensure that all the meat on an animal is us

What is your objection to mechanically processed meat? Sure, the process doesn't sound appetizing, but it's a way to ensure that all the meat on an animal is used, which IMHO is a good thing.
Also, for what it's worth, neither chicken nuggets nor the beef patties at McDonalds are made with mechanically separated meat anymore.
- DrScump 10y ago<What is your objection to mechanically processed meat?> If it meets your definition of "meat", by all means stick with it. Just be aware of what MSM really is. <neither chicken nuggets nor the beef patties at McDonald's are made with mechanically separated meat anymore> The beef patties never were (it's illegal -- do you know why?) Their chicken nuggets originally were.
- cm2012 10y agoIt seems like MSM is awesome, from a quick Googling. Humans really should be eating bone marrow, organs, etc. to get full nutrition from our meals - and the process reduces waste, which means less animals can be slaughtered. I totally get why cow MSM is banned, considering mad cow disease.
- DrScump 10y agoBy all means, dig in, then. You can have my share. Lots of Sara Lee brands sausages and such (e.g. Hillshire Farm) have loads of it. But it's mainly connective tissue with little nutritional value -- padding. And I'm not satisfied that pork MSM is completely safe from prion disease.
