What's in sausage

When I was getting my hair cut a few weeks ago, the topic of sausage ingredients came up. To my disgust, I learned that fillers for sausages are tendons, MRM (MRM is a pulp which is produced in abattoirs when high-powered jets of water are sprayed on animal carcasses after all the decent cuts of meat have been rendered), skin rind and grissle, and fat (which I can handle). I've eaten some wierd stuff in my days... and a lot of it I like... like Portuguese blood sausage called Morcilla....but when I think tendons, I think the hard stuff that I can't chew in fried chicken (which I haven't had in way too long!). Organs cannot digest this. So I am writing off sausage, no more, unless it is from the local butcher.

But the good news, is that this is another food that I can take out of my diet, that I know is not good for me, but I eat it anyways.

Goodbye Johnsonville, my love. It's not you, it's me. I will miss you.

So my recommendation to others when trying to shed a few pounds and live a healthy lifestyle is to find out what is really in your favorite food that causes the most harm to your body, and find out what is really in it. Maybe you'll find that it won't be worth it any longer.
