A person will eat this and later preach to vegans dietary advice
- Literally cat food tbh
  
  This is the last strike, I had enough. From now on, I am a tankie
- Ham isn't vegan..?
  
  I think their point was that the person will eat a literal cube and then tell vegans that their food isn't nutritional.
  
  Only bacon is
- That same person shares it with their cat however, so it's a mixed bag
  
  The amount of sodium in ham is likely toxic to cats

You sure that isn't just an eraser? 🤔
- Meat eraser
  
  That's the name of my metal band...
- Yeah, if you like something don't learn about how it's done, just think god gave it to you like that. If you think about it you ain't gonna eat anything anymore. Everything we buy is either very disgusting or involve some kind of torture/slavery (human or not). So either don't think or think a lot and only eat from your own garden. (fyi I live in a flat so I can't have a garden)

Who wrote this? Ill buy your book
- Reminds me of the writing of David wrong / Jason pargin who wrote the John dies at the ends series of books.

All meat is processed by definition
- The list of unprocessed meat we eat is fairly short, I can only think of oysters.
  
  Really depends on where you draw the line on processing I guess.
  Cooking? Killing? Seasoning?
  There’s a popular dish in Thailand; กุ้งเต้น Goong Dten “Dancing Shrimp”; made of tiny whole live shrimp seasoned with lime and chilies.
  Arguably less processed than a raw oyster
  \ Also, arguably more processed than a raw oyster.
  
  only if you byte through the shell
- Sure, but there's a world of difference between a steak and a slice of Billy Bear mystery meat.
- There are different degrees of processing. The "meat" mentioned here is ultra-processed garbage. Cutting out and grilling a steak is similar to digging out, peeling and cooking a potato.
  
  It’s the difference between a whole, cooked potato and Pringles.
- Even my meat am I right

Now, with Listeria! ™️ --for that sparkling fresh digestive tract!--
- Listeria is in high demand these days
  
  Blue Bell and Boar's Head, here I come!

Side question: the US you don't have ham made from a single piece of meat?

In my country that is the norm for ham, an abomination like that has no market. The only similar to it is something like "low fat chicken ham" (not actually called ham on the box as it would be false advertising)
- Yes, we have that as well.
- I'm not in the US. Can't tell you.
  But I do like the look of that meat right there. Fantastic.
  
  Product of Denmark

What's so unholy about it tho
- ham
  
  Yeah the Bible has specific rules about eating pig

Actually it has a fair bit of fat.
- And likely a fair bit of bone and connective tissue, but it's all been processed and homogenized.
  
  Just like my chicken nuggies
- I was gonna say has this person ever had Spam? It's borderline volatile because it's like 60% water and fat.

is the liquify and emulsion part true?
- Yes it is.
  When processed, the meat bits, (and yes they are leftover meat bits), are ground into a paste with water added, (nearly all ham you buy has "Water Added" listed on the tag - exception would be something like "country ham" or prosciutto ham), then pumped into a carboy, (the paste is then called babbit), seasonings are then mixed in and then molded by machine into a glorious block 'o ham! To be sold at your local Deli as part of a delicious sandwich for which you happily pay your "hardly earned" monies.
  
  For some reason babbit is like the grossest sounding thing in the universe
  
  thanks, thats horrid, i will not eat ham or spam. another thing i cant eat...
- I'm not sure how else it would hold together
  
  Pressing. Pressing hard.
  
  i guess you must be right
- put it side by side with a piece of meat you will be convinced
- Yes, but the no fat or connective tissue part is most certainly not.

And for some fucking reason, people then want the deli to chip(shred) this cuboid abomination.
- as a former deli worker i wish everyone who orders chipped anything a very fuck you
- I don't think this low effort spam is available in the deli section where I am. Though I would order it shredded just to annoy people.
  
  It's not Spam, it's "deli ham" (Armour brand makes the big one) or "Polish Ham"(Krakus brand). So much more bland than spam.
  Source: former deli worker. Fuck that job and fuck anyone who orders chipped/shredded deli meat.

Really putting the delicat in Delicatessen.

  A different horror-ified version that I like.
- I like the eva version https://youtu.be/C6h0Qt329jI

Enough sodium to cure what ails you
- If it's enough to cure the ham, it's enough to cure you.

Prism? Thats a cuboid.
- Cuboids are prisms. Specially, they're rectangular prisms
  
  TIL:
  The key feature of a prism is that it has a rectangular cross-section along its length. The cuboid also has a rectangular cross-section, which makes it a prism.
- How many cc's?

Holy cow that's long

This is pure gold.
If i wasn't ass-taste in my literation, i would write praise for this soul poetry. But alas, only thing i can say is pure gold.
- It's ham
  
  My apologies, indeed ham. Thanks.
