Pink Slime
This article was about pink slime, also known as "lean finely textured beef" and why people are questioning whether it is safe. Gerald Zimstein, a former USDA scientist made a great point in telling the countries attention and it certainly did work. This process was started at Beef Products Inc., in North Dakota. It began in the 1980's and the ammonia was added in the 1990's.
My opinion is that people are only thinking that it is disgusting because it has been labeled pink slime. All that this meat filler is is beef and fat scraps from the beef you eat all the time. They just use ammonia to kill bacteria in the meat. Also it is in normal beef from the food store. People been eating since the 80's! Lastly since it's lean meat without it in it beef has a higher fat content, making meat with pink slime a healthy alternative.
