The "new" bit is that you will no longer have to "store them properly"
so they can be stored in all kinds of unhealthy & unsanitory conditions
and *still* look as if they are fresh & healthy.

Rather like the practice of not testing BSE-infected cows (just in case
they find any) doesn't actually make the untested beef "healthy".
