From the World Health Organization Report on Meat Processing Technology for Small and Medium Producers
"...the “hiding” of high fat contents in some processed meat products can be a dietary problem. Improved processing equipment and techniques and/or new or refined ingredients has made it possible to produce meat products with relatively high fat contents, which may be difficult to recognize by consumers. In particular in products like meat loaves, frankfurter type sausages or liver pate, where meat and fat are finely comminuted and the fat particles are enclosed in protein structures, the fat is difficult to detect visibly. Fat contents of up to 40% may be hidden this way, which is profitable for the producer as fat is a relatively cheap raw material. For some consumer groups, such diets are not recommended.

ON THE OTHER HAND [Emphasis mine] there are many physically active hard working people or undernourished people, in particular in the developing world, where meat products with higher fat content may be beneficial in certain circumstances, predominantly as energy sources."

One should never consider diet without also considering environment factors and activity level.

This food would be more for soldiers in the field during combat not fat kids were on Playstation Xbox 6 hours a day. Idiots want to push sugar tax when high price of soft drinks isn't going to stop the problem because legislators who are passing those laws are probably obese already. The food should not be so fat and the kids should do exercise for people like me who drink a liter of dr. Pepper a day and don't get fat shouldn't be forced to pay extra money.

LTC (Join to see) - The government should not be using taxation as a behavior modification tool, for ANY legal activity. Parents should decide how much sedentary entertainment is enough; and what foods their kids eat.
