Bye Bye "Pink Slime"

The company, Beef Products, Inc., that created "pink slime", if you'll pardon the expression, beef, stopped producing it because of enormous protests by the public.

For those of you not aware of "pink slime", it is a lower cost ingredient made from fatty bits of meat scraped up from the slaughterhouse floor. This "quality" product is then heated with a flame-thrower and spun on a merry-go-round to remove most of the fat. That is the difficult part because all that is left on a slaughterhouse floor is fat and parts that are totally unfit for human consumption.

Then this "lean" mix is compressed into clumps to be added as filler in ground beef. Yummy! Then, as if it's not bad enough, ammonium hydroxide gas is injected to kill bacteria and humans. This results in lean, safe beef that is mostly fed to elementary school kids to make them brain dead so they have no chance of getting into collage since the collages are so over-crowed anyway.

The Director of Food Quality (you've got to be kidding) at Beef Products, Inc., said that the public outcry was bad for business. He said that the product had been used for years and had been accepted in the industry as "lean finely textured beef".

Even though critics called the "pink slime" an unappetizing example of industrialized food production, Beef Products Inc's Director of Food Quality says that the federal regulators (which have been brain dead for years) have asserted that this "quality" product meets food safety standards. I assume that this is a clear realization that the public has no idea of the rigorous studies and testing the federal regulators must go through to call that which is unfit for cockroaches and rats to consume, safe.

The company, while suspending operations and laying off 200 employees, is in the process of "developing a strategy for rebuilding business and addressing misconceptions about the beef the company makes".
In other words, "how can we come up with way to continue to deceive the public and keep them in the dark about the slaughterhouse waste we use and euphemistically call food"?

Mary Meathead, a spokesperson for the company said, "We feel like when people can start to understand the truth and reality, then our business will come back. It's 100% beef". Riiiiiiight!

The company took out a full-page ad in the Wall Street Journal (even the Enquirer wouldn't take their ad) defending its product. It also launched a new website, www.eatourproductanddie.com to help dispel the myths about "pink slime".
