Ok North America is this really what your ancestors called Jerky , how can you guys eat this stuff ????

I stopped in at a tool store the other night and in a moment of extreme weakness bought a pack. REALLY I thought, how can these guys get away with calling this Jerky. SERIOUSLY , for those of you that don't know what real Jerky is find someone that makes the real stuff and give it a try.
I don't mean ground meat rolled out and flattened like Masonite and then colored and coated and dipped in whatever flavoring you desire chopped up and dehydrated and sold as Jerky. I don't mean shaved beef treated the same or turned from leather into colored bits and sold in a vacuum packed bag.
I do mean strips of wild game meat properly prepared to hang and dry and sold in strips you can cut off and enjoy. And yes i have been able to buy this in the USA not often but if you keep your eyes open in small towns its there if you not looking for fancy packaging and colored hardboard.
There should be a law like the EU has for sausages that defines what Jerky is because Jack Links gives good Jerky a bad rap. Sorry for the rant but man you guys need to get back to your roots.
