I've been to Malta about 2 years ago and it was horrid in comparison to most mainland Europe how fat people are. People are fat there and they eat a lot of unhealthy food. Lots of puff pastry and starchy meals.

Or just use a very sharp knife and do not chop but slice, without pressure.
Edit: The knife used in the video is pretty dull.

The sausages are basically made similar to how a butcher would make them. The problem about processed foods though is more the origin and treatment of the meat then the final production itself. Which all is not shown in this video.
