more meat

I'm loth to flog a dead horse, but in the UK people are still worked up about adulterated beef burgers, imagining what else might be amiss with their food. The Guardian goes a step further than imagining and quotes "industry insiders" on a magic ingredient in cheap meats called dehydrated rind:

"Additives made from boiled hide or offcuts of carcasses are typically used to bind in added fat and water and increase the protein levels of economy beef products that have a low meat content. These may legally be identified simply as "seasoning" on the label."

There isn't really anything to add for me, except: Think, then eat.
