Major Fast Food Chains Getting Rid of Pink Slime


What is Pink Slime you might ask? Well It's meat parts that are the "left overs" of the animal that no one uses and puts it through a process of pulverizing, grinding, and drenching the tissue with ammonia. Oh and it's in about 70% of all American ground beef. Yuck!

This is kind of a big deal! These fast food companies have decided to eliminate it after many years of  it being used. We are moving in the right direction! Even though we still must battle the many other things wrong with these giant food companies like soy stuffing and using mass produced meat, we are still moving in a better direction.
This is showing me that people are becoming more aware and companies are needing to move with the awareness!
Another fun thing I've been seeing in the press lately is mechanically separated poultry pictures.
Same concept as pink slime but with poultry and pork. Yeah, that pic isn't froyo, check it out!
Man that's gross! Makes anyone want to think twice before eating something without knowing what is actually in it, right?
