Like has anyone else noticed that the protein craze has now phased into selling cheap meat mush sticks as healthy food alternatives at so many paces? You’re gym GNC/vitashop shop, swung by a Sprouts and saw them, hell we got them (the Chomps brand ones) at my freakin’ Hospital. Gotta love red meats and nitrates coming back big time to give everyone CAD by age 40.
I’ve never heard of them. What are meat sticks? Is it like beef jerky? Or something else?
Basically you take all the most delicious parts of pork and beef that Americans for some reason throw away, and then grind it up into a paste along with cellulose, preservatives, fillers, salt, and sugar, completely negating the previously mentioned deliciousness, wrap it up in a microplastic shedding bag, let it sit in the sun for about 7 weeks, and then sell it to a poor person for more money than a pound of raw chicken costs.
Once again, death to America.
Tbh that sounds absolutely disgusting to eat.
it’s not even ground. It’s often mechanically separated meat, which is lower quality meat that is not human butchered. It is run through machines that blast the meat with high pressure to remove it from the bones which basically leave you with a paste that occasionally has inedible bone fragments in it
But it’s really greasy and salty sooo
Think slim jims, processed meat tubes. Very crappy quality compared to beef jerky sticks one would commonly encounter.
I looked up slim jims. They kind of remind me of the treats I used to give the dog…before she had to start getting hypoallergenic treats because processed treats like that make her sick.
