Just cheese... processed meat is bad for you.Pepperoni and extra cheese
Just cheese... processed meat is bad for you.
Depends what you mean by "processed." Pepperoni is a form of charcuterie, which, by definition, is processed in some way. But, so is ham, smoked turkey, salami, soppressata, mortadella, prosciutto, capicola, bacon, duck confit, etc. etc.Isn't it possible to make non-processed pepperoni?
I don't care how its made... its deliciousDepends what you mean by "processed." Pepperoni is a form of charcuterie, which, by definition, is processed in some way. But, so is ham, smoked turkey, salami, soppressata, mortadella, prosciutto, capicola, bacon, duck confit, etc. etc.
However, the reason you can usually find pepperoni pizza on the cheap is because most pepperoni is, in fact, shit food.
But good pepperoni does exist.

There is no real definition. That's part of the problem. Most people who talk bad about processed foods (including me) are referring to foods which undergo various processes for the purpose of making food cheaper that are detrimental to either quality or nutritional value. For example, I generally hate the idea of buying bread, because most bread full of chemicals (ironically called "dough improvers") which prevent it from growing mold or going stale, etc. On the other hand, canning vegetables is a form of processing, and that's an important method of preservation.OK, so here's my question. What is the real definition of "processed"? Because I've watched the good stuff be made, and that's not what I'd consider to be "processed". But maybe I've never had the correct definition...
My dad's urn (actually a wooden box) is carved with "Return To Sender."And don't give that "no tombstone" crap.

Other crazier people (e.g., my sister) eschew all sorts of other preservation methods, like curing meat or pasteurizing milk. Not all the time, of course, but enough to be obnoxious about it.
Some people are really nuts, and subscribe to the "raw foods diet." This means they won't eat anything preserved or processed at all, with exceptions usually made for simple methods like drying, cooking and freezing, although the most radical raw foods enthusiasts won't even cook food.
Basically, "processed food" means "any food that has been processed to the point that a particular person takes offense to eating it."
Agreed. Although, sometimes the difference is a matter of gut feeling, rather than anything scientific. For example, many people balk at meat preserved with pink salt, but have no problem with meats cured with traditional methods that naturally impart nitrates in the food.We basically have the same definition. People have to be batshit crazy to think that preserving food in a natural way is akin to the shit that is full of artificial shit...
Regarding nitrates, they'll have to pry my corned beef sammich out of my cold, dead hand.Agreed. Although, sometimes the difference is a matter of gut feeling, rather than anything scientific.

For me, the best solution is just to eat a balanced diet. I love me some sausage, but I don't eat it every day. I do try to eat at least some fresh, uncooked, plant material every day, though, at least during the months when it is in season.
My dad's urn (actually a wooden box) is carved with "Return To Sender."
I'm not sure I can top that.
Alright, now I know mine:We Have A WINNER!
(If yer dad was so smart, how did you get to be ... you?)
Which is probably what killed me.Just cheese... processed meat is bad for you.
So you peaked 39 years ago? Far out man.I would want to have "1976 was a very good year" on my tombstone. The reason I say that is because it is the year the Hoosiers went unbeaten and won it all in basketball, the year I graduated from IU, the year I landed my first job after graduation, the year I got married to the love of my life and the year I received "The Best Sports Reporting" award from the Hoosier State Press Association.
Nope...

I was a Giants fan at that time. Ironically, I covered the 1976 World Series between the Reds and Yankees. among people I interviewed were Tony Perez, Elston Howard (Yankees), Sparky Anderson, etc.Forgot the Big Red Machine won World Series
Is that what you want on your tombstone?Regarding nitrates, they'll have to pry my corned beef sammich out of my cold, dead hand.
My Dad said he wanted, "Dangitt, I told you I was sick"! on his. It's an old joke but still holds up. I would want, He was loved much, loved much, and is with His Savior.And don't give that "no tombstone" crap.
