# Does his parachute auto-open at 2000 feet
Based on baa-rometric pressure?

Just to divert the thread - I love how the BBC report on the shocking state of healthy offerings in the food industry, illustrating their point with a picture of a delicious and tempting 3/4 lb triple pepper-cheese burger with extra ketchup, mustard, mayo and crispy chips.

# "I know what I'm having for tea tonight"
Mmmmmm, slurry.

# That's mechanically recovered 'meat', known as slurry,
which is basically all the bits left on a carcass that can't be removed by humans... they blast it off with high-powered water jets then use various methods to solidify the resulting 'slurry'.
(Edit: I was mistaken; the most common technique is to put the 'trimmings' into a centrifuge and spin off the remaining meat).
After that they have to chemically treat it because so much of the stuff that's recovered is from close to the animals' hide and is therefore highly likely to be contaminated by feces and dirt. The treated slurry is what you're seeing in the picture.
Over here, McDonalds recently changed their method of treating slurry because the details leaked out and people were disgusted... apparently until then they thought they were buying pure prime beef patties and all the trimmings for 99c each, ffs.
Of course McD's haven't suddenly started using prime beef, they can't possibly afford to at their prices. What they've done is change the way they chemically treat their slurry, then put out a bunch of press releases saying, "we do things differently now!"
Enjoy your slurry folks :)

# Well if I have to eat that slurry
I would rather eat it in an anonymous burger form

# NO WAI
I ALWAYS THOUGHT I WAS EATING KOBE BEEF!

Even so, I didn't know it was called slurry. I always thought it was "all the other bits we can't sell"

# And looking at that is about as appetising as seeing an animal having its head lopped off,
innards removed and being sliced down the middle with a chainsaw.
Still not a veggie though...

# Looks like a perectly good high protien meat product....
With lower fat content than a Sunday roast brisket or leg of lamb or pork..
It shows respect to the animal to eat all of it, rather killing something and throwing loads of it away.....

# OK, so now, after my burger, I have to drive down to Southampton's Mayflower Park
Which has the only ice-cream van I know of that has strawberry ice-cream on the pumps.

# It looks like that bubblegum that used to come in a wee toothpaste-type packet
But I have a sinking feeling that that's meat. Or was, once.
