Thats just a sleazy business practice.

what about things that have to be heated to a certain temperature to be deemed safe for human consumption? is that vastly different?

I, and many others, ain't eating that crap just to keep a company, that profits off of feeding us garbage, in business. Processed food like that is known to cause high blood pressure, diabetes, and linked to cancers.

May 17, 2010 -- A new study shows eating processed red meat -- such as hot dogs, bacon, sausage, and cold cuts -- is linked to increased risks of heart disease and diabetes.

Processed Meat Linked to Heart, Diabetes Risks

But the study, published in Circulation, shows no such link for unprocessed red meat.

Apparently, this company only sold the leftover parts of the cattle because there are many other parts of cattle that are appropriate for human consumption.

It might be nice if you were a trifle more specific.
You know, like, are you speaking of USDA meat doneness specs, or are you speaking of the raw food movement?

I think he's thinking along the lines of milk. Still not the same as ammonia!

Would you call "pink slime" processed meat?

If you haven't read about the recent study, here's some news: the World Cancer Research Fund has found that eating processed meats is directly linked to cancer.

A 2005 University of Hawaii study found that processed meats increase the risk of pancreatic cancer by 67 percent. Another study revealed that every 50 grams of processed meat consumed daily increases the risk of colorectal cancer by 50 percent.

BTW, pancreatic cancer is a killer!

And this is a PERFECT example of UNEDUCATED and UNINFORMED people believing the HYPE.

This processed meat - slanderously called "pink slime" has been marketed and consumed for nearly 30 years.

And how many reports of health-related problems, or diseases, have there been in nearly 3 decades? ZERO. NONE. NIL. NADA.
