It was promoting equipment to mechanically recover meat using high pressure water. The resultant slurry was then converted to sausages. -- bert |

Salt solution and protein amongst other substances you don't want to know about are injected and massaged into chicken and pork. The protein is to stop the salt solution running out of the meat. http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/267204 And hormones are injected into poultry and cattle on an industrial scale, but some would make a fuss about a bit of chlorine on the outside because it comes from the US. -- bert |

I prefer the cheaper not matured for 28 days. If you like it rare you may differ. |

Strange, I thought the chips were the one fairly natural thing. I'm sure they were in trouble in some part of the world because of the use of beef fat. Probably not kosher or halal. Not my problem, I dont eat the garbage. AB |

Taking back control is a wonderfull idea isn't it? Just go easy on the chlorinated chicken fillets, the oncology wards have very large tills AB Except that the chicken is not chlorinated, is simply washed in chlorinated water. It is not a health risk. The problem is the reason for that washing - the chickens are raised in very poor, overcrowded conditions, leading to contamination that requires the disinfecting. It is the poor animal welfare rather than health risks that mean we should not import US chicken. Bless! In the days post war when EVERYONE had chickens scratching round their back gardens, eating worms and actually tasting of something, we ALL got salmonella infections # Battery chicken may taste of **** all, but it is relatively sterile.. I thought it suffered a high rate of antibiotic resistant infections due to (ab)use of antibiotics And chickens often taste of something - the fish meal that they've been eating. Yes. If you ever visit Denmark, don't bother eating their eggs. -- The lifetime of any political organisation is about three years before its been subverted by the people it tried to warn you about.

We regularly ate cockerils from our flock using the logic they were worth feeding until big enough to make a meal but apart from one to fertilise a few eggs the other male birds had no value

Taking back control is a wonderful idea isn't it? And with that control, you get to chose what government you want. If you don't want a government that does X, Y, Z, then don't ****ing vote for them! Oh no! The Toreez will do this thing I don't like!!! So don't vote for them. Gee. Is democracy such a hard thing for people in this country to grasp? The whole thrust of the Remain campaign actually was "we are so thick, so stupid, we can't be allowed to chose what sort of government to vote for, we must have the EU telling us what to do." No wonder they lost. |

Reinforcing my very point re peoples apathy regarding such abstract things. They may have a preference on the local elections because it's local .... and the people they are voting for are potentially accessible. The same applies at arms length for the national elections but it's getting a bit abstract by the time it get's to the EU (or your local Police Commissioner etc). This supports my consideration that few put much effort into the effort the EU vote, especially those who voted to leave (to change from the status quo) who did so completely blindly (as we *still* don't know exactly what the leave deal will be, let alone the predicted impact on the UK population).
