      Eh, such products minimize the waste of things that would otherwise be thrown away and lost. Us humans have been processing the scraps and leftovers of our food into other edible products for as long as we can remember - Waste not, Want not.

      The problem is the disconnect modern urbanites have from their food and not knowing how it gets made. If you like deli ham eat it! (in moderation as all things should be), it’s not all that different in processing than a hot dog, sausage, or hamburger. Or even cheese…

          You are going to need to go beyond vegan and need to learn how to live on air and love only.

      I don’t see how this is particularly any more gross than other ways of preparing meat?

      I mean shit you kill something and eat it, however you go at it, meat’s meat.

      How is that any different than a sausage, hamburger, or any other food using ground meat? If we are going to eat meat, it’s better to utilize as much of the animal as possible.

        I guess its not, because the protein and fat get cut into tiny bits by enzyme digestion anyway…

      I’d be fine with it if it didn’t also taste exactly like what it is, a shitty low quality by-product, it’s low key dog food. Actual ham is fire tho.
