Exposed - The dirty little secret of the meat industry
Saturday, May 07, 2011 by: Anthony Gucciardi

Are you eating meat cemented together by "meat glue"? It may sound shocking and far-fetched to most people, but a recent news story covered by the Australian Today Tonight show unveils how the meat you're eating could be made up of scraps glued together to form a deceptively "normal" piece of meat.

Just as big pharma supplies dangerous substances to countless people worldwide, the meat industry may not be far behind in such nefarious deeds. Using a special product called "meat glue", meat suppliers have been caught using meat scraps, too small to sell, to create normal sized portions of meat for distribution. This misleading sales tactic is so effective that even experts can't tell the difference between a regular piece of meat and a piece of meat tainted with "meat glue".

What exactly is "meat glue"?

Meat glue is an enzyme known as transglutaminase. According to the report, many meat glues are created by cultivating bacteria. As shocking as it may sound, other meat glues are made from the blood plasma of pigs and cows, specifically the coagulant that makes blood clot. This "special enzyme" is so toxic that people working with the product must use masks as to not breathe it in. If meat suppliers are allowed to put it in our meat for us to eat, why can't they breathe it in?

Blech!

That's why I only buy grass fed, non-hormone beef. Sad to say as a Texan I don't eat much beef anymore. Primarily because the beef I do buy is expensive but, oh, so tasty!

Cooking an old fashioned beef pot roast this morning with wine, carrots, potatoes. Yum! I can't wait until after church. Just poppin' that sucker in the oven in a few and walking away.

Let the magic begin!
