Pink Slime in Our Meat – It’s Already Here

As a follow-up to my post on stem cell meat, here is a link to a story on pink slime:

It is a product so vile, that even Taco Bell and McDonalds refuse to serve it in their beef.  By using it, you can cut the cost of a pound of hamburger by 3 cents.  It is made from all the stuff normally thrown away from slaughtered animals.  Parts that would disgust you to hear their names.  It is turned into a semi-edible goop by treating it with ammonia (the stuff that smells like urine) then turning it first into a soup, then into a slime.  You then mix this delectable treat with real hamburger.

So who would buy such a horrible thing?  The federal government, for our children in the free breakfast program.  The same people who took away a Mom packed lunch because it did not have a vegetable in it and gave her kids chicken McNuggets instead.  Soylent pink for all our kids in school.  Yummy.  Just wait till the feds are controlling your healthcare too…

How about a nice bowl of ammonia soaked meat by products?  Even a cartoon character will have a hard time convincing kids this is tasty.

    I just read the article link. This literally turns my stomach. It certainly gives a lot of “food for thought” to pardon the pun.

    This makes me glad my kids don’t eat school lunches! Yet another crappy piece of policy in the legacy of Bush (senior, not Jr.) administration.
