Food in parallel

Since the last update, I have tried chicken (not too bad) and bacon (nice, but it was overcooked). On looking at ingredients of pre-packaged products, it seems like I have to learn the lingua franca of the meat-eating world. I have seen ham as labelled as 'formed' and 'reformed'. I noticed that some hot dogs contain pork and chicken, no doubt processed quite a bit along the way to the shelf. I can't say I ever thought of hot dogs as having chicken therein.

I care about what I eat; I'd rather not have (re-)formed meat if I can help it. This checking of ingredients process is a parallel of my checking to see if things have animal products in them. Some things never change...
