I really don't have a problem with watching sausage being made. But
I've never seen Oscar Mayer make it, either.
In either case, the ARIN process is generally pretty open. They have
always been receptive to member input and, although it does have a
slight resemblance to the legislative process, it's a lot closer to
Pavetti Meats (local sausage maker in the town I grew up in) than to
Oscar Mayer.
I have always found the meet interesting and worth attending, but I'll
take the aroma of good Italian sausage if I have to make a choice. :-)
