About this site
This site is a little project that lets me make fun of some things and sense of others. I use it to think a little more relationally without resorting to doing actual math.

mmmmm… I love mystery meat

Who doesn’t like a good joint-dog?
June 18th, 2009 at 1:31 pm
This is true. Trust me, I know what goes in mock chicken and bologna.
June 18th, 2009 at 1:46 pm
Isn’t this backwards? Shouldn’t parts of animal used rise with cost of meat?
June 18th, 2009 at 2:02 pm
@Geoff
No, it’s correct. After all, a hot dog is considerably cheaper when compared to prime sirloin.
I think your idea is valid if you consider turducken though.

@Elle
I guess i was looking at it from an economic point of view. When meat (in general) costs more then people “get creative” with what they use.
On a cost-cutting at the factory point of view i see the point of the graph now.

If the x axis were labeled something like quality of parts of animal used, or desirability of parts of animal used, I’d agree. As it’s written however, it seems completely backward. If meat prices are high, doesn’t that encourage creativity with more… *exotic* parts?
June 18th, 2009 at 11:17 pm
No, it’s saying the more parts of the animal used, the lower the price of the end product becomes.

Im still not sure what goes into a hot dog. I rather have my turkey on Thanksgiving though.
June 21st, 2009 at 4:36 pm
So true.
And yet it makes me want to throw-up a little.
June 21st, 2009 at 11:40 pm
i’m fine with my mystery-meat hotdogs, because (1) they taste delish, and (2) they mean lss of the animal is wasted.

Tyr, I recommend you read about mechanical meat recovery in the US (that they don’t waste a bit is absolutely true).
Once you have absorbed these facts, calculate the percentage of your burger/sausage that is faecal matter. Enoy.
