What points should one consider about processed meats?

Question

Is there a specific reason for concern regarding processed meats?

Answer 1

Read a Hot Dog label. Notice one of the ingredients says 'Parts' … Now what do you think that means? 'Parts' of the animal that are too disgusting to list for if they did you would be totally grossed out and would never buy them!

Answer 2

I grew up eating Bologna sandwiches because my mom put them in my school lunch. Anyone remember “head cheese”?

Comments

Yes, head cheese and souse meat; my Mother still eats them at 86.

Answer 3

I never liked bologna. I always loved liverworse

Answer 4

Because I don't eat meat, I didn't know that. Thank you!

Answer 5

It is the preservatives and emulsifiers that make them unhealthy not the parts of the animal or the grinding process. Nose to tail!

Answer 6

What meat can we eat then

Comments

Cook whole meat, beef, lamb, chicken. Slice and enjoy.

Answer 7

Waah
I love my Spam-musubi! But I know you are right, no processed meats, including Spam.

Answer 9

And they use the worst part of the animal to make those deli meats.
