Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly is the definition of processed red meat? I assume it lies somewhere between gnawing on a freshly slaughtered animal carcass and buying beef jerky form the corner store, but I'm not sure where, exactly.

"Methods of meat processing include salting, curing, fermentation, and smoking. Meat processing includes all the processes that change fresh meat with the exception of simple mechanical processes such as cutting, grinding or mixing."
