It turns out that we cannot do without meat, because the body really needs just such a protein – a source of essential amino acids that the body does not produce itself (they are therefore called essential). On the other hand, it must be remembered that it is enough for him to eat a maximum of 100–120 grams of meat or a meat product at a time, and not to stuff half a kilogram of boiled or smoked pork into himself for breakfast, lunch and dinner, nothing healthy will come from this, that’s all good in moderation.

— A sandwich with sausage for breakfast is quite affordable, while sausages have also risen in price imperceptibly, servelats and sausages of well-known brands are still sold at a big discount.

– The discount is a twisting of the hands of manufacturers by retail chains. The manufacturer has two options that can be used so that the buyer does not faint at the sight of new prices for sausages or sausages.

First, we make sausage packaging not 300 grams, for example, but 250 grams at the same price.

Second, we are trying to reduce the cost of replacing expensive ingredients with cheap ones. According to the classic Mikoyan recipe, sausage is essentially meat (protein), fat and water in a ratio of 1.0:0.8:0.8, respectively. If these proportions are observed, it will cost as much as black caviar, no one will buy it. Therefore, manufacturers are trying to use cheaper vegetable fat, because the animal is also now worth a lot of money. The least expensive, as you know, water. They also replace animal protein with vegetable protein, such as soy isolate.
