That’s like the opposite of transglutaminase, aka meat glue.

Mm! Transglutaminase! It’s the glue that holds your multi-cow steak together while you grill it!

It feels like the meat industry is run by a cabal of vegans who thought they could make us change by being horrible enough, but eventually gave up hope and just want to fuck with and poison us now.

There’s nothing poison about transglutaminases. They are naturally-occurring enzymes and they’re inside your own body. You wouldn’t stop bleeding without them.
It’s just gross that they use it to glue meat from multiple animals together to make it look like it all came from one animal.
Similarly- pink slime. Edible, just disgusting.

It was mostly meant in jest, but you could make a case that certain food additives and plastic contaminants from containers are basically poison. Whole food industry is a nightmare.
