Pink Slime Debacle

Allow me to say that I REALLY don’t care what the pink slime is made of and I happen to think beef is beef. Yes, even as you look at the disturbing picture above I’m still dreaming of how many hamburgers I can have RIGHT now. Throw that thing on the grill and lets have a feast!

If you haven’t heard about what I’m going to call, The Pink Slime Debacle then let me inform you. Apparently a lot of the ground beef you buy at the store may be mixed with something called “lean finely textured beef” which, from what I can understand, is the ground up scraps from other beef cuts. However, It’s still BEEF!

For those of you that don’t want this ingredient mixed into thier everyday beef there is good news! Several store chains are now refusing to purchase any beef with the slime in it. The latest to get rid of those products is ALDI. After customer complaints and requests they have decided that any beef products with the pink slime in it will not be sold on their shelves. So for those of you that are ok with the cow being slaughtered and eaten, but think the pink slime is “ewwwwww so gross” you can now be safe to purchase ground beef again.

Now it’s time to hear what you think. Are you for or against the Pink Slime? Let us know in the comment section below!
