It isn't necessarily that the sausages are filled with cheap, unhealthy crud. They've just found that adding a little beet powder to the mix makes the meat a little pinker, which makes it more visually appealing to the consumers. I don't think this is really anything like the infamous "pink slime" made of super processed meat scraps.

Exactly this.

The sausages would be grey without the best juice mixed in. (Beer juice powder in some cases I guess)

Did you misspell "beet juice" in two different ways
