pink slime in meat

[stevesmi]

just wanted to get a discussion going on this.

http://eastbrunswick.patch.com/articles/pink-slime-in-your-meat-here-s-what-you-said here is a brief article/opinion piece on it

this is why i spend a few extra nickels on 100% grassfed beef or I buy local beef that isn't hosed down by fillers, hormones, steroids, or whatever the hell else

you want to be a champion? then eat quality food. you want to be average then stick to your pink slime beef

thoughts?

When I saw this it was absolutely disgusting to me. This is the reason I make sure and eat high quality food. Although, I guess anyone who has eaten McDonalds has had this before.

I agree with stevesmi, not only because of the discovery of pink slime. It’s really quite simple, <a href="http://www.lacensebeef.com/why-la-cense.aspx">grass fed beef</a> is far more healthier in terms of Omega-3 content and lower fat content than grain or corn fed beef. I get mine from La Cense Beef. It really doesn't cost much more than grain fed, and it is well worth it.

I figure I eat enough bugs,parasites, strangers hair and dead skin cells to not give a damn. Pink Slimes been used for decades now.
Shit I sprinkle steroids to all meats in meals anyways.

fun fact: Pink slime was only cleared for dog food before it was cleared by FDA for humans.

The pink slime is so messed up, almost unreal. The part that is really disturbing is that it was widely used in schools hot lunches. I will say this a lot of schools are starting to get an actual chef to help make lunched from scratch, with real ingredients and no bullcrap. Hopefully this catches on everywhere.

"Pink slime" is nothing but media hype.

From Beef Magazine:

“Boneless lean beef trimmings (BLBT) is a safe, wholesome and nutritious form of beef that is made by separating lean beef from fat. To make the product, beef companies use beef trimmings, the small cuts of beef that remain when larger cuts are trimmed down.

“These trimmings are USDA-inspected, wholesome cuts of beef that contain both fat and lean and are nearly impossible to separate using a knife. When these trimmings are processed, the process separates the fat away and the end result is nutritious, lean beef. It’s a process similar to separating cream from milk.

“One process uses food grade ammonium hydroxide gas, something commonly used in the production of many foods, to destroy bacteria. Whatever process is used, it is all done under the watchful eye of USDA inspectors and according to strict federal rules. Lean finely textured beef is blended into foods like ground beef. Producing BLBT ensures that lean, nutritious, safe beef is not wasted in a world where red meat protein supplies are decreasing while global demand is increasing as population and income increases.

“Some recent media reports created a troubling and inaccurate picture, particularly in their use of the colloquial term 'pink slime.' The fact is, BLBT is beef. The beef trimmings that are used to make BLBT are absolutely edible. In fact, no process can somehow make an inedible meat edible; it’s impossible. In reality, the BLBT production process simply removes fat and makes the remaining beef more lean and suited to a variety of beef products that satisfy consumers’ desire for leaner foods.”

I feel bad for anyone that believe what te media saying about it being safe.. With all the shit they put on it.. Sodium nitrites to MSG.. I agree with Steve, I just spend a bit more on organic or healthier meats.. Ppl we need to remember that cancer and so many disease are popping up more than ever.. It's due to the food and other things. Regardless what some major studies tell you, many times those studies are done by the companies it self. 30 years from now they will talk about the the food was really bad for ppl especially all the chemicals. Just like cigarets were good too decades ago..

I'm shocked that an unbiased source like "BEEF MAGAZINE" would come out with this type of article defending pink slime.

i will pass bro and leave that delicious slime to you .. I will stick with my 100% grassfed beef tastes better and doesn't make me feel like shit after eating.
