It feels like half the episode is missing. What questions were actually answered?

[@misterhat5823]

I wouldn't call E223 (or sodium metabisulfite for the rest of us) as making something processed. Nitrates or nitrites (even those coming from celery juice) on the other hand... And then there's things like mechanically separated meat, pink slime, and other meat sludge that have been shaped and formed. But... I think the definition is actually any processing beyond cutting and/or grinding.

[@lewiskelly14]

This shows a disaster, at no point did you properly show us the WHO response properly

[@davidronson8712]

Rule of thumb, all cold cuts are processed meat.

[@Super_Tee]

Serious food journalism!

[@stevevet3652]

The "No" process meat movement was started a Vegan who had the support of a climate change enthusiast who believes Cow farts are the main pollutants hurting the worlds atmosphere. Watch, "What I've learned" channel on KZbin. The guy really explains the Cow fart theory very well.

[@emmalouie1663]

I'm allergic to E223. It's a man-made chemical created from ammonia and sulfur. I would not buy these sausages. I make better sausage at home anyhow.

[@zeusapollo8688]

Both processed.

[@bcatbb2896]

Don’t matter, it’s still processed because that’s what it is, it’s been processed to become a sausage

[@Hka2022]

Very Funny Video very [ Processed ] 🤐

[@war5561]

Nitrates are natural too.. do you know why celery powder exists?

[@Sperminski]

Informative and funny!

[@paulmarynissen]

Oh the innuendos… love it!

[@palashbhaumik42069]

In your endos!

[@onemorericebowl1816]

she took that sausage like a pro

[@kazzagreen84]

When I think of processed sausages I think things such as Devon, or the red hotdog sausages that don't look like meat anymore. I don't think of sausages from a butcher that still look like meat.

[@punkdigerati]

Yeah... Putting the live cultures in with metasodium bisulfate isn't going to give you a fermented sausage

[@CorpusOrganic]

was really expecting more episode at the end of that

[@JTB-di8yj]

She sounds very excited about his sausage!

[@mm-yt8sf]

was the sign the result of the WHO's reply? it'd probably be more thorough to read (ugh) the study that the WHO referenced to come up with its advisory to see what factors were tested to get their results. yeah to me i use "processed" as just a conversational adjective so kinda meaningless, and even with field people (or business owners) it seems to depend on their finer interpretation which still differs between them. :-(

[@francophone.]

I just realized that Matt and Jimmy are different people lol I guess I never figured it out before, even though they have different first names (I didn't pay attention).

[@aoyamaprivacc]

Lol, me too. It took some episodes for me to realized it.

[@OtoyaYamaguchi777]

Fresh made sausages with no preservatives begin to oxidize mere hours after they're made, to be fair to Dennis, by the time his product got to to the stores it would be brown & nobody would buy it.

[@Birdylockso]

Anything artificially made added would make the food processed. It's that simple. You are welcome. (Yes, that would include the E-2whatever preservative.)

[@emmalouie1663]

Sodium metabisulfite gives me serious breathing problems, makes my throat swell up and there are reports of people who have died from it as anaphylaxis it's a chemical made with sulfur and ammonia. I spoke to a wine maker about this years ago and he claimed that naturally occuring sulfites are molecularly different from unnatural man-made added sufites aka E223 sulfite, sodium bisulfite, metabisulfite, whatever you wanna call it.

[@emmalouie1663]

Sometimes seafood marked as fresh has had preservatives added to it. Read the ingredients on bags of shrimp they add chemicals to it. Isn't "processed meat" more of a national industry issue not a WHO issue..

[@MiggiePiggie]

The blonde lady seemed to deliberately handle the phallic shaped meat very suggestively.

[@anonymouspyramids6192]

For the first time ever I’m gonna have to say no to your sausage. “Oh come on! I’ll peel it back” *Vine explosion sound* 👀👀👀

[@BendtSten]

💪🤠👍

[@LordClarkson]

When did it get the chance to ferment?

[@britantyowicaksono8409]

i don't know man...this episode was so ambiguous, i mean sausages....pfffft

[@Mzsaoirse]

In Belfast having a "full English" ? 😑

[@jaygallagher6522]

The salt is curing it

[@desu76]

Advertisement, really?

[@achecase]

Fun, but ,what?

[@Naplesfrank154]

Judging by her jokes, I knew Kate loves nut episodes but now I see she loves sausage episodes. Haha. Did you see the look on her face when she pulled that hot dog out of the jar? Haha. Yep, she wants it. 😂😂😂

[@xploration1437]

Pro sessed. Oh, you brits.

[@blessboybeats]

Americans say prah sessed. Not any better lol

[@chip6660]

Let's go brandon !!!

[@emmalouie1663]

I won't vote for Biden and I am also allergic to E223 so I wouldn't buy these sausages.

[@KevinGubbins]
