					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.greenprophet.com/2011/03/meat-glue-frankenstein-mea/#comment-35202&quot;&gt;JohnnyMorales&lt;/a&gt;.

&quot;...creationists, anti-global warming nuts and a host of other groups that don’t believe in science have some good company.&quot; You&#039;re the best company of all Johnny boy.

Your big money pseudo-science is your religion. Those who question the gospel of Algore are heretics. 

&quot;Science&quot; proved that everything in the universe &quot;just happened&quot;... Yes kids, when you actually pin them down, that&#039;s their &quot;official&quot; answer. They really believe they are like, TOTALLY advanced... just like the snake oil salesmen and the quack doctors did last century. 

&quot;anti-global warming&quot;... LOL! Is that the same as &quot;anti-global cooling&quot; or is it the opposite? IPCC Who? I don&#039;t even know who the IPCC is... Or that they ALSO paid for all of the global &quot;warming&quot;... err &quot;climate change&quot; research as well.

You are the classic case Johnny. Everything you know, you got right off of your T.V. set. You are a religious fanatic who lives in serious denial of everything around you. If you start to WAKE UP (lose faith in your T.V. set), your entire, bogus, meat-glued world will crumble around you and you&#039;ll have to face the facts. The fact that the world isn&#039;t fair and that it&#039;s full of liars, cheats, swindlers and very, very EVIL and dishonest people who have been telling you what you want to hear for your entire life.

It&#039;s a waste of my time to even explain any of this to you though since you will no doubt deny it... like you deny everything.

So I guess I&#039;ll just leave it at this:

I make my very own meat-glue from my own special meat hose. It&#039;s 100% organic and Al Gore says it tastes like yummy pudding times infinity plus one. You can help yourself to some whenever you want. I can only make one table spoon or so at a time though so you&#039;ll have to give me a while to fill up an entire bottle for you to gulp down all at once. Please leave your name and address at the bottom of your next post and I&#039;ll send you a butt-load in like a month...

since were friends and all.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Transglutaminase ---I need it for 2 reasons.

1. My platelets are a bit low. As a result I lost a lot of blood in my
recent hip replacement op-- needed transfusion. Hg went down to 7.

2. I have a cerebral cavernous malformation that might potentially leak, or worse.

I wonder if fake crab might be a cheap source?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Miriam Kresh - I did, and all I have to say if that is what passes for serious science, then creationists, anti-global warming nuts and a host of other groups that don&#039;t believe in science have some good company.

Nameless sources SPECULATING on what this substance is and its digestibility ARE NOT facts or proof of anything.

Anecdotal evidence given by individuals who eschew meat completely then blame meat glue for their problems fails the &quot;proof&quot; standard even more egregiously. 

The worst part of it is how the writers of the article NEGLECT to mention their &quot;proof&quot; is just speculation, and do their best to disguise it by merging it into points made about the product that are fact based.

Finally, the notion that &quot;industry studies&quot; are naturally full of lies is cynicism taken to a self-defeating extreme.

While it is a good thing to always keep an eye out for obvious bogus data, it is WRONGHEADED to dismiss a study and its findings, because it was done by the industry in question, as wrong as dismissing an ACTUAL study were it done by those who fear meat glue.

The article seems to blithely ignore that a company that engages in such behavior risks multimillion dollar fines as well as criminal charges for doing so, AND THERE ARE numerous cases over the years to prove that yes enforcement agencies do take their jobs seriously, and DO keep an eye out for criminal behavior in the industries they monitor.

While there are always going to be failings, the West is NOT PR China where haphazard food regulations are barely enforced.

After reading those articles I am more convinced that meat glue is a safe product.

The notion that it is indigestible was NOT proven in those articles. All it was was tangential speculation based on the misinterpretation of the meaning of &quot;unbreakable bond&quot;. How utterly pathetic.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[OK, one thing this article neglects to research is whether or not this stuff is INDIGESTIBLE.

I have a feeling it is degraded along with our other food.

Therefore the notion that eating it will somehow lead to higher levels of this in our blood is absurd.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The FDA requires retailers to label meat glue in products as &#039;“formed” or “reformed”.  I&#039;ve known about this for a year or so and have been able to identify mg products (though as we all know a magnifying glass would make id&#039;ing easier).  Aside from the obviously crass use of mg by butcher shop suppliers to &#039;sweep the floors&#039; of virtually all leftovers, the issue of chefs wanting to be more &#039;creative&#039; with mg is to be encouraged as long as this information is disclosed in the menu; an earlier poster&#039;s point mentioned the ethical or religious violation when foods are added to a product that some find untenable with their beliefs.  Some people also are unknowingly exposed to a health hazard through food allergy problems.   The less creative chefs who use it more for enhanced profit-making should understand that if a customer is paying $48. for a tournedo entree then it had better be tenderloin and nothing else.]]></description>
