Don't read on an empty stomach..... (substance, hamburger, frozen, McDonald's)

[Grandpa Pipes]

Yeech!

"You're not going to believe what you've been eating the last few years (thanks, Bush! thanks meat industry lobbyists!) when you eat a McDonald's burger (or the hamburger patties in kids' school lunches) or buy conventional ground meat at your supermarket:

According to today's New York Times, The "majority of hamburger" now sold in the U.S. now contains fatty slaughterhouse trimmings "the industry once relegated to pet food and cooking oil," "typically including most of the material from the outer surfaces of the carcass" that contains "larger microbiological populations."

This "nasty pink slime," as one FDA microbiologist called it, is now wrung in a centrifuge to remove the fat, and then treated with AMMONIA to "retard spoilage," and turned into "a mashlike substance frozen into blocks or chips"."

If it is published on the internet, it must be right.

And sensationalist articles always get the clicks which of course, increase revenues.

Don't buy ground beef in the supermarket. most of us have a kitchen aid mixer with a grinder attachment....make your own burger. I've been doing that for years....

Very rarely do I eat hamburger meat anyway. Same with hotdogs and even rarer bologna.
