Meat eaters care as much as veggies about ingredients, maybe even more
so... I check ingredients on all packaged foods and I never buy
packaged salads because they are made of old contaminated veggies,
those are the ones the tractors rolled over and barely rinced in
filothy water, that I don't want, I never buy those cello bags of
salad stuff and I would never buy a restaurant salad because those are
made from cello bag crap too only more poorly handled. I prepare all
our salads from whole fresh vegetables, I have no problem preparing
produce... and during growing season most is from our own garden...
right now we are enjoying Krispy Kirbys up the Kazoo... no peeling
needed. Picked about fifty today, gave half to our neighbor who
maintans our tractors and does other heavy jobs for us like removing
dead trees and cementing in leaning fence posts. We don't use our
barn so we let him use it to store his haying equipment and his hay
bales.

(mind if I step in to reply to Bruce, Sheldon?) Meat eaters usually care
about the quality of the meat. There's a grading system. 'Choice' is
most frequently seen in supermarkets. 'Select' isn't so good. 'Prime' is
of course the most expensive. Meat eaters certainly do discuss the
differences about the grades and the different cuts.
 
Over the years we've discussed at length things like injecting saline to
plump up turkeys and chicken and pork chops. We've discussed brining.
Meat injected with antibiotics and all sorts of things. We'd really
rather not have all that crap in the meat we buy.

I always thought bagged salads/greens were a bad idea.

How are they listed in the ingredient list? "Contains 99% old
contaminated veggies (rolled over by tractor and barely rinsed in
filthy water)"?

Most meat eaters who'd have one good look in a chicken factory, would
never buy that product again. Not just because they might feel sorry
for the birds, but they wouldn't want to put that product in their
mouth anymore.

At least the packaging is see-through so WYSIWYG.

I don't know how many people would be expected to know this if they
never heard of it and don't frequent Indian owned restaurants.
 
I just checked online. There IS an Indian restaurant in Beaufort. The
name of the restaurant is "Naan Appetit". Clever. A recent review
mentions their Butter Chicken:
 
"So in our current Covid-19 plagued earth this place was a nice oasis of
Indian food. I walked in and waited at the front for probably 2 minutes
before anyone walked out of kitchen. I would have been worried but my
food was sitting on the counter. I paid without contact beyond passing
my credit card and was then on my way home with fresh Indian food. I
ordered the paneer butter masala and butter chicken as entrees. To chase
it down we ordered buttered naan, armitsari kulcha, and another naan
that was stuffed with lamb. The butter chicken was absurdly good. It was
a bit sweeter than normal but in a very good way. This may have been
best butter chicken I've ever had (although might be because I've been
sheltered in place and haven't eaten out in awhile). The paneer butter
masala was a little too sweet for me, but my wife loved it. The butter
naan was okay. The naan that was stuffed with lamb wasn't better than
regular naan. The armitsari kulcha was delicious. The reason I didn't
give more stars was because my order was taken down wrong and I wasn't
given a rice and a naan. Maybe that's my fault for not checking but was
frustrating once I realized it when I got home. The food was 4 stars. I
will order out again. I'd like to try the buffet some time."
 
So... Indian food and Butter Chicken is available in my area. I'd still
never heard of it before this.

I have a piece of industrial pork in the smoker right now too. A 7
pound butt for pulled pork. It was $1.79/lb. Made coleslaw yesterday.
 
Dessert will be a Sacher Torte.

I have a 9.3 lb @$1.78 pork butt thawing for smoking tomorrow . This
one was grown and processed in the USA , and has no added solution . I'm
figgering 18 hours or so at just under 200° using lump charcoal . I used
briquets last time and remembered why that's a bad idea . The added
ingredients in briquets ended up choking the fire .

Alas, no smoking here this time but I did grab two packages of marked down
'pork for carnitas' today. One package, maybe not the full package, will be
cubed and browned then tossed into a saucepan with perhaps two cans of white
beans, a bit of onion, and some chicken broth (canned!!) to simmer until
the meat is tender.

You must not shop for food, the last time pork chops cost $2/lb has to
be more than 5 years ago... and today 1/4 lb of pork is POW
rations.... I've actually never in my life seen a 1/4 lb pork chop
packaged at market.
You don't cook either because there's at least 1/4lb waste in fat and
bone on a pork chop. Pork chops are popular on a diner nenu and any
diner considers two pork chops a portion. You must weigh 80 pounds
soaking wet, and you consider two lettuce leaves a salad... or you
weigh 300 pounds and are BSing us... I think you are a bull shitter.

Is home-smoked meat the white equivalent of chicken wings and water
melon?

A lot of cereals can help with digestion. Semi-sweet chocolate, too.

Yep. I eat a bowl of oatmeal every morning and 2-4 ounces of semi-sweet
chocolate every day.
 
Yogurt and an apple nearly every day, too.
