mystery meat macrophotography
a newstarget phototour by mike adams

welcome to the "meet your mystery meat" photo tour on newstarget.com. hold on to your lunch for this one! we're about to take you on a journey into some sick macrophotography of processed meat products.

as i'm a nature macrophotography buff, i took all these pictures myself, in my own kitchen, using the same high-end photography equipment i use to take pictures of flowers and insects. as you'll see from these pictures, the detail is astonishing. you may never look at your sandwich meat the same way again.

all these photos are completely un-touched (they were not photoshopped in any way except to alter brightness and contrast) and were taken of popular processed meat products purchased at wal-mart just yesterday.

we're starting our journey with oscar mayer's cotto salami product. click the next button below to continue to the next photograph...

thanks for sharing this (gag). i am still fighting off waves of nausea!

just last night, i had a "breakdown" in my eating discipline and found myself at the drive-thru of a certain fast food establishment. never again!

peace,

u.s. lawmakers have begun to criticize the practice of adding carbon monoxide to meat in order to stabilize its color and keep it looking fresh longer.

the process, they said, misleads consumers by making the products appear safer than they are, and puts people at risk of eating spoiled meat.

two of the united states’ largest meat processors, however, defended the packaging technique, maintaining that it is safe. several food giants have said they support a warning label being added to meat that has been treated with carbon monoxide, or a label encouraging consumers to depend on the “use by” or “freeze by” date rather than the meat’s color to determine its safety.

officials at the food and drug administration (fda) and u.s. agriculture department, who said they believe the carbon monoxide practice is safe, say the issue is not a public health priority.

consumer groups, meanwhile, have petitioned the fda to withdraw its approval of sealed packaging that uses more carbon monoxide -- 0.4 percent -- than exists in air, saying the practice makes it difficult for consumers to gauge product safety.
