Did anybody actually read the snopes article I posted?



Yeah, it made it even less appetizing to consider eating.

Plus it confirmed that Blueerror and Fist are blathering idiots.

I read it. Nothing new to me. I have known for some time now that the making of a product is not ways pretty. I go with the end results. Sadly we have people who would rather slander others than open their minds. It is why networks like ABC are still running. Anyone that can do fact checking would have turned them off long ago.

Of course they would rather read slanted rants about Fox News than every watch something for themselves and decide.

If the product they're selling says "ground beef mixed with beef waste products processed with ammonia gas" nobody has a problem.


If the product says "ground beef" it is reasonable to expect it to contain just ground beef and not also beef waste products processed with ammonia gas.

So your contention is that reporting the process by which the meat product is created, and from what, is slander? If you are correct, I imagine we will be seeing a slew of law suits against ABC, right?

Obviously the ammonia gas is an issue, but "pink slime" is still beef. It's obviously not a choice cut of meat but you should know that when buying ground beef you are not getting choice cuts. If you don't want it buy ground sirloin or organic ground beef.

It's only "waste" in that it used to get thrown away because there was no way to remove it with a knife prior to the centrifuge method.

It may be beef but it isn't "ground beef." It is beef that has been prepared in a different way first.


Suppose someone liquified a bunch of beef in a blender, treated it with some chemicals to make it solid again, then ground it up. That wouldn't be ground beef either and they shouldn't be able to market it as ground beef.

Calling it "red slime" and reporting on it as often as they did is hardly trying to make people aware. They are trying to shut them down; and get themselves a new award in the process. It has nothing to do with "information" and everything to do with ratings.

I believe they call it "pink slime" Fisty. Let the lawsuits begin!


edit: 52 times in two weeks is not quite 4 times a day. OMG the horror!!


Also, looks like the beef industry is working their PR effectively enough that they've managed to get their own version of things as the number one hit on google: pink slime.

Better labeling of food products would be a good thing.


Its kind of bizarre to see some people argue against better labeling and efforts to educate consumers because people should already know what they are buying.
