wellsey 0 Posted January 17, 2011 The last few days Ive been working away.Our company fit conveyor systems for alsorts of other companiesAnyway We went to a meat factory that produces minced meat for ready made meals. It was an eye opener....That so called meat is just vile I saw it in its raw state before it is minced up. Bones ,grissle, skin.....And this company supply the mince to Birds Eye....Just imagine eating a Morrisons lasagne Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smilinjack 0 Posted January 17, 2011 Fact is any kind of processed, prepacked food is best eaten quickly with as little thought for the contents as possible. It's something you have to do sometimes out of necessity rather than desire I'd say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can't possibly believe that food companies are operating with your interests at heart Greg. What about those German eggs recently? And wasn't there a chap near us who got jailed for selling rancid chicken scrap to a number of food manufacturers? Etc etc...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I prefer morrisons burgers to birds eye ones, never seen so much lard come out of a as I did with the birds eye ones, you'd think for a brand, they'd be better.Funny thing is you say that about mince but you seen what goes in sausages (the cheaper the nastier the contents my mate worked for Turners and he said they blast the carcass and sweep it up); black pudding; faggots........ any of the stuff that MEN like to fry n eat?
