Processed Meat 
- like Sausage, Ham, Burger Patties. Luncheon Meat, Chicken Nugguets

2)Meat Filler
- Soybean is most commonly used.*aka Soy Filler- Provide Meat-like Texture
- It's Cheap , good way to make lots of Profit ($.$)

- 70% of the Ramly Patty you are about to put into your mouth could be Soy Filler* I would call it Soy Patty flavored with Beef/Chicken

- Same goes to your Ayamas Sausages & Deli Ham!

I was having a meeting with a Company specialize in Processed Meat.
We were having a very honest conversation.

"People are funny, we have Chicken Ham & Turkey Ham.
Guess what's the difference?
We add Coloring to Chicken Ham and we get Turkey Ham.
There's no Turkey in the Turkey Ham at all!"

It's just Pink Slime & Meat Filler, why so serious ?
