I remember the days when I didn't have to worry when I went to the store to buy food.

[I still care]

I was listening to Schnitt (a local radio host) last week.

They were trying to get to the bottom of the “pink slime” business and they asked for the name of the best expert in the meat industry they could find. They got in touch with this guy on the phone (David Theno), and he said the reporter who was covering it for ABC had also called him, and was asking him about the product for the ABC news story.

Halfway through the interview, the ABC reporter Jim Avila hung up on the expert. The expert called him back, and the Avila told him, the expert wasn’t saying what he wanted for his story, and he the expert was just a tool of the food industry. And hung up on him AGAIN.

So Schnitt’s show called Avila, and he hung up on them. I heard later Avila denied it, but when I heard Theno talking about it, I believed him - he seemed unrehearsed and astounded about it. It’s an incredible story, and totally uncovered in the media. I’ve been able to find very little about it, except for a few tweets.

The MSM is a vile propaganda tool, and we need to work as hard as we can by exposing just how biased and agenda driven they are.

99% of people are idiots.

Ammonia is harmless in small concentrations.

Meat is protean, protean is poly amino acid. Amino acids are metabolized into ammonia, your body turns excess ammonia into urea to keep the concentration down, you piss out the urea.

This is elementary school biology.

“Pink slime” is not mechanically separated beef. The USDA banned mechanically separated beef from all food products years ago when spongiform encephalitis became a problem. Pink slime is meat and fat trimmings.

Pink slime is high in protean, low in fat. It has a lot of collagen, which turns to gelatin, which is what makes good bbq good. Pink slime is good. Pink slime tastes good. Pink slime is good for you.

If you are against pink slime, then admit you’re easily manipulated by the press.

Now I’m going to griddle some scrapple which, if it is good scrapple, contains a lot of pig face meat. I like it crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. Scrapple is basically polenta made with rich, meaty pork gravy. Mmmmmmm.

Anyone ever eat sardines with a magnifying glass? They still have all their guts in them! I love sardines!

Food is good.

I work as a Hazmat Fire Lieutenant. This article is mostly just silly... Compounds with ammonia, NH3 have numerous uses and often naturally occuring. Trying to vilify any compound with Nitrogen and Hydrogen presentis silly? It is along the same lines as characterizing CO2 ad a pollutant and calling it carbon. It is carbon dioxide a colorless odorless naturally occuring beneficial gas. I believe this attack on ammonia is just a typical tactic that the greenies are using to attack industries that are the backbone of our economy.

Go ahead and eat pink slime if you want - I don’t want to. It is within both our rights to or not to.

From the comments and remembrance;

Scientific illiteracy run rampant. Ammonia is a byproduct of protein metabolism and is found in all tissue. It’s excreted as waste, but it is always present.
