This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Good point. My two guesses would be:
Tube meat is commonly associated with "cheap"/bulk meat, so for marketing purposes, the individual packs may sell better.
I understand that the more the ground meat is handled, the taste/ texture can suffer. The long meat tube method may subject the meat to more unfavorable handling, ie the ties at the end compressing the meat more than an individual package.
Those both sound believable enough to me!
