macrophotography of processed meat

reply to post by fiftyfifty


No, I'm sure spearing lettuce wasn't on the to-do list.

Point taken.

I agree, meat is tasty, and this stuff isn't turning me away from sausages or salami or whatever. I don't really eat much processed meat anyhow, I prefer meat I can identify with a glance, or at least guess that ground beef is actually beef. But anyhow, mystery meat is delicious!
A lot of things look gross close up, so keep your plate far away and close your eyes when you shovel 'er in
I would imagine that even you, (some of you) would never touch yourself ever again if you saw your self in Xtreme closeup.

General consensus? The guy is a loser.
Also anything looks bad under magnification..
Note all the whining about the "smell of decaying meat" and such. Reading his page is more painful to me than he could have been hurt by some salami.

Also he claims he can cure cancer and diabetes. For $299 US dollars.


Just another agenda out of countless more. Move along folks.



edit;

Animals have rights. Well one of them, and that is to be delicious.

The black things are feces. Pure old fashioned crap. Who saw that movie about the burgers with crap in them? It had something to do with the processing of the meat, where something inside the animal would be torn open (intestines? cant remember now) which would cause the stuff to be processed with the meat. The movie was fictional...but I mean isnt that the obvious explanation?

the movie you are referring to is called Fast Food Nation, which was fictional, but named after a non-fiction book of the same name. However, you are just assuming that's crap. You don't know, and neither do I. And ultimately, there's probably no real way to prove it. Besides, there are plenty of other dark colored parts of the body, and Ive seen LOTS of those "specks" in meat - far more than I would think the legal limit is for fecal matter in food.

if he has some agenda, then whatever. im just talking about photos here, lets not start the ad hominem attacks on such a trivial matter. Also, I strongly disagree with you when you say anything looks bad under magnification. I am a macro photographer myself, and couldn't disagree more.

It could be anything, especially in reconstituted meat - that stuff is awfull - although after a few pints, a kebab does taste very nice

If you take micro pics of your bed/pillow/mattress, you'll find all kinds of disgusting things as well

You know, I love my breakfast food so I had to stop after a few pictures. One thing I remember that as a kid I loved to eat blood sausage, its so yummy but then when I got older and understood what was in it I haven't touched it since.

Are you trying to make us vegans?
