Jerky is made by squeezing meat paste out through a nozzle and then drying it beyond recognition.
Quite so. The all American favorite, the hot dog, is also extruded food. Using an extruder allows all sorts of waste products, things that people would not touch by themselves, like snouts, ears, and spleens, to be ground up and tossed in the extruder. Michigan used to have a hot dog content law that mandated only skeletal meat be used. In the 70s, the meat packers sued the state, complaining the requirement to use meat in their hot dogs was a "burden". So the Michigan law was repealed.
