     The cafeteria purposely keeps the source of the meat a mystery because they know if students find out what it really is, there will be a major revolt. They disguise the mystery meat in all sorts of ways. They make it into sloppy joes. They blend it into spaghetti sauce. They form it into some sort of loafy shape.
