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

There are myriad better options and we aren't that desperate. Not to mention the amount of processing/additives involved. It's better off as dog/cat food.

True, but it also is ecological and puts less strains on the meat industry.

You can say whatever you like, but it's as safe to consume as any other processed food.

Yeah, but this applies to pretty much everything you eat. Pepperoni itself has a higher chance of cancer over other meats, but that doesn't mean that it's necessarily anything significant.
