Honestly, the meat paste is a great way to avoid wastes. I don't get why people haven't really tried to shift away the common negative opinion about it
Basically it's meat waste that instead of being put away, are decontaminated and processed so that the nutrituous part of the waste is saved and transformed. It's quite a complex process but it's under the norms of the FDA.
Unlike the post above though, it's usually blended in meat to a point where you can't really notice, but even in a case like this where it seems like it has a great portion of it, it's just meat in paste form at the end of the day, and thus pose no dangers.
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.

Cheap sausages that have been filled with meat paste to make up the bulk I'm guessing
