While I audibly laughed at the idea that there is a "Meat Industry Hall of Fame" I am really finding it difficult to believe that there was somehow "innovation" here (I really think that word is overused, and in this case repulsively so). Now I don't fault the guy for coming up with a method to separate meat from fat mechanically (itself not an act of villiany), but the end result is what it is...and calling it "lean finely textured beef" stretches well into absurdity, especially when you add the lack of clarity as to what an "ammonia puff" entails and its real impacts, the fallout once its in the public eye should not be surprising.
