Hell, it's been proposed a large part of the reason we became tool-using animals was to get at the marrow from other animals' kills (since short of hyenas, most animals don't have the jaw strength to get in there).

After giving this thought... hell, it can't be worse than what a Vienna sausage is made of.  I like them... so...  *Shrugs*

The entire reason sausage was invented was to use the less desirable parts of the animals. No one wants intestines or the tough bits, but if you grind up those tough bits, throw in some seasoning, and stuff it inside the intestines, suddenly it's something half the world can't live without.

Mmm...delicious marrow...
Yeah, the guy talked about marrow like it was a bad thing.

And what exactly is the stabilizer that he mentions that it should be so naturally unpleasant? The concept doesn’t sound any different than adding a bit of extra flour to thicken up your homemade gravy.

Does the process look unpleasant? To some, perhaps. But like others before me, I gotta say that that does not mean the end result itself is bad. Personally, I think the most distasteful part would have been the actual slaughtering of the chicken. And that doesn’t keep me from eating it, whether it is a drumstick, breast, or even a processed nugget.

I would think of fast food industries of all places decided to ban it, that says something right there.  This stuff can't be good for the kids.

From what I have read, fast food places dropped it because of public pressure, not because of any known hazard.

Go figure on that.  ::)

Hell, to the people who look at a food and say "That looks like it's disgusting, unnatural, just like play-doh.  It is therefore bad at you"

Have you ever seen the food after you're done chewing it?  Quite frankly, play-doh would look more appetizing.

We haven't even gotten to the rest of the digestive process.

I honestly get tired of these food panics.  Oh, panicking over stuff like "Hey, this batch of ground beef has been discovered to have salmonella" is understandable.  Fearmongering over rumors like "ASPARTAME CAUSES CANCER" is just stupid.

Why the hell are chickens being feed this shit??

I thought chickens were insectivores.  Beef =/= insects.

Chickens will eat anything they can find.  Seeds, berries, bugs, worms, small vertibrates, other animals' eggs.  And protein meal made from meat industry by-products.

Its moments when I read about "Pink Slime" and "what goes into a sausage" that I'm glad I'm a vegetarian. (and no, its not so much about safe the animals as it is about health).

But... these things aren't unhealthy. They're just difficult to eat normally, or unappetizing. So, by grinding them down, adding seasoning, and stuffing them into another unappetizing part of the animal, more of the animal is used and less is wasted.

The practice of barbequing has similar roots. Cuts of meat like the brisket are normally very tough and hard to eat. But if you cook them at a relatively low temperature for a longer period of time, it acts to tenderize the meat.

BBQ actually has a more...sinister origin.
