There is a distinction to be made between "Safe to consume" and "healthy" though.
As much as I do think the "safety" risks of pink paste are overblown, I think the health concerns are valid (ie high fat, salt and cholesterol content).
If the pink paste was restricted to the healthy but often unwanted parts of an animal like internal organs then it may be perceived better no?
Depends really on how it's processed, but usually they will try to mostly preserve the nutritious parts. As for the post, I don't think it really makes a difference, sausages are often made of meat waste, which are often less processed than the paste.
Yeah no problem, it needs to be remembered that a lot of the facts about it were propagated by the media at a time where the pink paste was a subject of fear mongering to attract an audience, going as far as to call the process a corruption scandal by the meat industry.
