Ammonia levels in factory farms should not exceed 35 parts/million for workers to safely spend 15 minutes in an animal pen. The ammonia levels are often twice these amounts, leading to chronic bronchitis and skin infections in workers (30).

Too much alkaline or acid in diet causes cancer. But for those who want to eat animals with cancerous lesions, enjoy. Most of the workers at factory farms are illegals and do not adhere to any sanitary practices either.

Pink Slime is disgusting... I don't believe that it is "unhealthy" to eat but it is disgusting to eat it... I think everyone has a right to know if there is something that is disgusting used to make our food... We can make our own choices but at least it will be informed choices...

How is it that you are going through life NOT knowing what you are eating?

there are a lot of foods that are pretty disgusting when you get right down to it. chicken nuggets are made from a slurry very much like the one that has so many people hitting the panic button on LFTB. hot dogs, the same. sausage. chorizo. honey is bee vomit and milk is a glandular secretion from cows

“It kind of looks like play dough,” said Kit Foshee, who was a corporate quality assurance manager at Beef Products Inc., the company that makes pink slime. “It’s pink and frozen, it’s not what the typical person would consider meat.”


Food Inc., the low-grade trimmings come from the most contaminated parts of the cow and were once only used in dog food and cooking oil. But because of BPI’s treatment of the trimmings — simmering them in low heat, separating fat and tissue using a centrifuge and spraying them with ammonia gas to kill germs — the United States Department of Agriculture says it’s safe to eat.

No wonder cancer is on the rise again in the U.S.
And all with the blessing and approval of our benevolent government.
