Coli and Salmonella. It might be in your hamburger. No burger is safe. Well, maybe the test tube burger. According to Huffington Post , as of September, four states have allowed pink slime back into their school cafeterias, joining the three states that never stopped serving it.
This was after the national controversy over pink slime erupted in spring Adding the slime into beef reduces cost by about 3 percent. In the meantime we really need to push harder for more honest labeling and unfortunately the USDA is not behind us on this since they allow it to be listed as a "process" and not a ingredient.
This is seriously making me consider never eating ground meat again. I wish I had a list of those people using pink slime. I don't think companies are going to fess up unless forced and the USDA isn't about to. Grinding meat yourself is the best way to know for sure what you are getting. Remember back in when Reagan promised to get rid of those onerous regulations that were burdening our industries -- regulations such as food safety. To me it's incredible that they can put scrap meat and chemicals into hamburger and call it food fit for humans.
And we've been eating this stuff at fast food outlets for years now. Truly disgusting. Well i have been grinding my own beef for sometime now. What a difference. No more cupfuls of "liquid of odd origin" when u cooking. And the taste is totally different.
And its a lot cheaper too. U buy a good roast or similar when its on sale, cut of the fat and grind it. I use to live in the country where free roaming grass fed cattle was and still is the norm. Smile life is short. Thanks for the comment, glad to see someone grinding their own beef. Once you have the right equipment it's a money saver as well as saving your taste buds.
I just found out about pink slime today. I could not stop crying. To think that I bought my kids happy meals. All the time I have been feeding them chemicals. I feel so terrible I am waiting for my meat grinder and hamburger press to come in the mail. In the mean time I am avoiding all ground meats. In the future I will never never again go to a fast food place.
I refuse to feed my kids chemicals. I am a better parent then that and my kids deserve better. How could anyone be allowed to put this in the food and not say something? I am still so shocked. I am glad you found out the truth even if it was painful and that you have decided to make a chance in your house. Good for you! Please correct your article. The Food and Drug Administration does not regulate the meat industry.
Meat products are regulated by the United States Department of Agriculture. This is just so disgusting, how anyone can toy with peoples lives. I am completely disgusted with this news my kids eat alot of hamburger. But I'm thinking not anymore we will be getting our own cows.
How long has it been in our food? Lately the cow population as decreased tremendously due to the over population of people. The more population we have in the world the more food we will need to feed them. We are going to have to find a way to feed them are we not, and that is what they are doing. They are finding ways to feed more people.
Do you remember driving miles and miles and seeing cows everywhere. Well we are not seeing that as much anymore. The price of beef is going up if you have not looked.
Soon it is going to be a rare to be able to afford it. Also with this company the U. S has had less cases of E coli. Given a choice between ingesting a small concentration of ammonia chemical form: NH4 or ingesting eColi, I will prefer to ingest the NH4. It is already in my blood anyway. Given our massive food distribution system and after J.
ForkLiftDriver leaves the pallet of food on the loading dock 5 minutes too long, a little bit of NH4 may be the difference between an edible meal and a bad bad case of digestive disorder. I agree that reintroducing the side pieces should be backed off some.
I also am aware that some people in different countries eat cartilage and the other non-bone parts as they are eating the meats. This comes from the "don't let anything go to waste" mentality. I've been purchasing organic beef at Costco. Does anyone know if that includes the infamous 'pink slime" or any other bizarre ingrediants? In some capacity it must be ok to consume. Everyone is out to get you and our government help them! Did you see that the lady over the USDA said it was o. My stomach hurts.
I just had a hamburger from McDonald's. I told my daughter this Big Mac does not taste the same as the original Big Mac. I don't eat beef that often and the day I had one from McDonald's I hear this on the news. Vegetarian all the way. Pink Slim, Ammonia? The issue is not the actual use of this filler. The issue is that people are not told about it. We are being lied to because if most of us were asked about how much we would pay for meat most of us would probably pay more not to have this crap on our plate.
Is there a relatively easy way to check? Today 10 Mar. MCd has been using the pink slime hambuger meat for more than 10 years. So that is the taste you are probably used to. No happy meals in our house. I'm a mom now, and have 3 children. They have never eaten at McD or Burger K or any other fake food place.
I don't understand why people are SO shocked about this discovery. Did they really think that for. Thanks so much for the information. I already have a Kitchenaid; I'll be shopping for a grinder attachment as soon as I click submit! A good option is to find a local tailgate or farmers market where producers stand behind the integrity of their product and know where it's been each step of the way. NH3 is a natural byproduct of the digestion process. Our intestines put NH3 into the blood continually throughout the day.
The liver and kidneys team up to take the NH3 out of the blood and into the urine as urea. The food companies likely picked NH3 in the food production process because it is naturally occurring and the human body handles it well.
In my opinion, small amounts of NH3 is well suited to do what it is asked to do - kill harmful bacteria while being a compound the body expels from the system well. I would rather bit of NH3 in each bite than a colony of eColi killing 8 of my neighbors every 6 weeks. This is really gross I have already decided to go in half with my brother to get a calf raise it and split the cost of food butcher it so I know that my family and I are eating meat that has not been pumped with chemicals there needs to be a revolution in this country so people get it together and start organizing I cant believe that it has gotten this bad and we as citizens have not done anything about it ughhhh irritates me.
Why do we let the government run us there are so many of us since when is it okay for them to feed us whatever they want and lie to us something has got to be done. This country has gone to crap!!! Further , ammonia NH3 is a gas at room temperatures and at the temperature of a freezer. This means there is little to no ammonia in the cooked food being eaten.
It only takes a few minutes. What blade do I use? You will need a meat grinder or a grinder attachment for a stand mixer such as Kitchen Aid. Cut your meat into cubes and freeze slightly. Grind with the coarse blade first then run through again on the find blade. I grind my own pork all the time for homemade sausage.
The best solution is to find several families that are willing to share a quarter or side of beef, then go to a local farmer and work a deal. In my case, I raise chickens, turkeys, pigs, ducks, and sometimes rabbits, and when I need beef, I find a farmer who wants to trade!
Thank you for this information. I did not know that!! Thank you for keeping us informed. Yes, grass-fed is very disappointing right now with marketing claims. So all the more important to know where your meat is coming from. Being helpful is my pleasure!
Thank you for this article Mammavation. What our FDA gets away with is mind blowing and really angers me! Thank you for stopping by Juliette! You keep being awesome! Lean fine textured beef is effectively nothing more than ground beef made by hand.
