What is… Hot Meat?

Hot meat (adj) is a term used to describe meat from already dead animals. It is considered harmful to consumers’ health since the animals most likely died from illnesses before being butchered and sold. Very often this type of meat will find its way into the meat market and be consumed by unsuspecting buyers. Another term used for this type of meat is “double-dead” meat.

Meat

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Meat, in its broadest definition, is animal tissue used as food. Most often it refers to skeletal muscle and associated fat, but it may also refer to non-muscle organs, including lungs, livers, skin, brains, bone marrow and kidneys. The word meat is also used by the meat packing and butchering industry in a more restrictive sense - the flesh of mammalian species (pigs, cattle, etc.) raised and butchered for human consumption, to the exclusion of fish, poultry, and eggs. Eggs and seafood are rarely referred to as meat even though they consist of animal tissue. Animals that consume only or mostly animals are carnivores.

The meat packing industry slaughters, processes, and distributes meats for human consumption in many countries.

The word meat comes from the Old English word mete, which referred to food in general.
