I don't have a big problem with the product being available,but I have a huge problem with them selling it as ordinary unadulterated beef it should be labeled "Chemically treated beef product" or at very least "Beef product" so it can be distinguished from ordinary beef.Looks like them keeping it secret has really backfired on them though a whole lot of places are refusing to sell it now.


And I'm all for keeping school lunches as inexpensive as possible and this is safe food,it doesn't sit right with me but unless its bad for them or they won't eat it I may object emotionally but they aren't doing anything wrong.

If they are going to sell this crap in schools then they must give the parent the option of providing an alternate meal.

It wasn't exactly a secret. It just didn't catch the MSM's interest until recently.

They estimate that before this got started it was in more than 70% of the ground beef that we bought.McDonalds,burger king and taco bell all stoped selling it...but that means they were selling it and the pink slime manufacturers claim its still being sold by fast food companies that they wont name.

If you didn't like the taste why did you eat it?

what a bunch of pussies. Like there is something clean and pristine in flesh cut right off the rotting cow...

I have no problem with pink slime. It's probably cleaner than regular ground beef.

No not true. At least it wasn't when I was still in the industry.

That includes chicken and beef. Not sure if they do that to fish and pork yet, but I bet they do somewhere.

pork patties? sick

The whole thing has been overhyped. What's sad is that people keep getting pissed off about what's happening with their food supply, yet they keep getting pissed off at the wrong things. It's like being annoyed at all the rotting limbs on the ground in a leper colony.

Like I said I don't object to it being sold ,I just object to them hiding it in with unadulterated beef and not telling me it was there and(secondary) charging me full price when pink slime is sold much cheaper than unadulterated beef..

So when you buy ground beef, you're upset because it has beef in it?


confused
