Comment on It's cadmium-enriched!

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.

Fair enough. Some people see a word like that and ‘meat glue’ and they think their meat is being glued together with superglue or something.
