Red meat should always be a lovely blood red no matter what it's been through. At a guess I'd think that particular stuff was destined for the frozen hamburger market.

Raw muscle is clearly the food all zombies should eat! ;) I guess you are the rare meat-eater who has never had a hamburger, taco, or sausage.

Would have thought that the manner I which the animals are raised and then killed should be of real concern. After the deed is done all this looks pretty much as you'd expect. Meh, I.

A bit of ground up cow bits is the highlight of my week. The rest of the time it's....Ramen noodles.

When over 300,000,000 people, almost all of whom live in cities and have absolutely no skills they may direct at providing their own food, must be feed, the task requires an industrial capability. Should the 'food machine' shut down for a week, we will be eating eat other on 5th avenue, and it won't be in French. The food we select from in the United States is about as safe to eat as it can get. That's just a fact. I’m not sure what the point is either.

Why would anybody with more than a tooth left want to eat that shit ? I love eating meat, which is why I don’t understand at all why people eat GROUND meat:

Makes sense to be able to control the ratio accurately, much like cream/skim milk. Processing tech is pretty cool. It's also particularly effective at pulling perspective, since we're so used to the start and end points, but not to the scale of the process.

Unless you absolutely, positively know that all the animals used were female bovines. This is similar to using 'mares' as the plural of horses and 'bitches' as the plural of dogs. Or to turn it around, to use 'cocks' as the plural of chickens. The plural is not cows, it’s cattle. Unless you absolutely, positively know that all the animals used were female bovines.
