First, criticizing a link on a link, really?
Second, I think you missed my point that a set of well-produced pictures of unknown provenance (really, could you figure out the source? I gave up after several clicks) is a more effective way of selling my point than providing substantive information would be.

Oh no, I wasn't criticizing you or your link. I was just trying to add to the discussion that misleading advertisements are a problem, but there's plenty of misleading propaganda on the other side as well.
Nothing against your point at all. Sorry for the confusion.
Cooked and salted meat is, in essence, incredibly well preserved. This concept has been known since ancient times. Bacteria requires moisture to cause decomposition, and cooking/salting meat causes it to dry faster than it will rot. Once it's dried, it pretty much won't deteriorate any more. This is the concept behind pemmican and beef jerky.
The point is, there may be misleading advertisements, but this argument isn't any less disingenuous than the Big Mac that's too big to fit in a box.
