Don't fuck with potentially spoiled meat. Definitely depends on the conditions, but if they weren't kept at foodsafe temperatures then they absolutely shouldn't have been consumed.
Oh nooo look maybe it really wasn't bad, but don't eat expired meat even if it doesn't have mold on it lol not everything that can harm you is gonna be immediately visible.
Like, basically worst case, it was tainted with some sort of bacteria that managed to grow on the meat and create a significant enough amount of toxic compounds to give you food poisoning symptoms, somehow all entirely without giving off any discernible smell?
Well yeah, basically. I've heard of numerous different cases where lots of people got really sick or died eating meat (especially pork) that didn't smell or seem bad. The bacteria that makes meat smell bad isn't necessarily always the same that poisons you.

So what I’m hearing is just eat vegan, this meat shit is too much work
Ιt's not too much work to not eat stuff that has expired lol it goes for everything. Well, almost everything. Some dates aren't very properly adjusted but generally you shouldn't risk it...
Gonna go with you and say sometimes the risk is worth it. I've gotten some stomach aches from expired food but not enough to actually deter me from eating it.
This is one part I kind of want to bring up in the veganism debate. Okay we stop eating meat but what when it's subsidized anyway and the rest left to rot? Feel like our choices are moot but don't wanna completely discourage veganism.
I am not a vegan, prob most close to the PMC “flexitarian” nothing term, but I am working towards a full “freegan” or second hand approach to meat consumption. I won’t buy new animal products but if pizza is the only food at a meeting or there are some sweet leather things at goodwill then that’s fine. Better than ending up in a landfill in my opinion.
More or less what my family does. Food bank occasionally gives out meat and other things like that. So the food comes from stores that will throw it out soon. Think a lot of veggies and meat that is going bad. I've gotten some of them and tried eating them still. The veggies not to bad just wash and cut off the bad bits. Meat hit or miss but will still eat it or use it as best as I can. Same with diary but I think this made me stronger idk.
Eating from trash might be only ethical consumption to be honest if you can stomach it. Trash panda lifestyle :comrade-raccoon: for true leftists is what I tell myself.
Yeah sus dairy actually has some uses in cooking and baking - sour milk muffins 👌
If it was ground mean it was probably a good call. Anything else is salvageable, depending on how it handled
