High beef prices force the return of ?pink slime?

Two years after consumer outrage forced meat processors and retailers to stop using ?pink slime? ? the ammonia-treated slaughterhouse remnants added to some ground beef ? the dubious byproduct is back in the mix as beef prices rise and suppliers scramble to cut costs.

Patty Lovera, assistant director at consumer advocacy group Food & Water Watch, notes in the video above that the renewed demand is certainly not coming from consumers. "I don't think most consumers have changed their mind and suddenly decided this is the type of ingredient they're looking for," Lovera says. "It?s economics.?

The additive was coined ?pink slime? by former USDA scientist Gerald Zirnstein, who told ABC News in 2012 that ?pink slime? was ?not fresh ground beef? but a ?cheap substitute being added in.? At the time, he said 70% of the ground beef sold in the nation?s supermarkets contained ?pink slime." The product is made by separating the fat out from meat scraps and treating what's left with ammonia or citric acid to kill bacteria.

McDonalds put out a video reply that showed the pink slime. Did they use footage from a bubblegum factory accidentally also? If so, that's absolutely hilarious.

Oops, nope, it was brown slime -- no pinkness to it. Just watched the video again, it's still disgusting as all hell. They only "proved" that it was gross as fuck, no matter WHAT it was, hehe.

Glen, is the pink slime thing bullshit? I haven't heard anything about it, but I know you have your ear to the ground on some of this stuff.

NBC bought the story hook-line-sinker back in 2012, if it's not true:

the only thing i know for sure is I will never step into a mcdonalds and believe I'm eating something healthy... hehe Safe to say any food processing is kinda gross when you break it down though. Ever have a crab cake? looks like shit before you fry them up.

I'm only going on that one image that was plastered all over facebook and everyones email though.

"I think I'll eat healthy today by going to McD .. I hope there's no pink slime!" .. haha. The images that circulate best on FB are the ones that have little to no basis in truth, right?

Oh SHUSH you traitor. Every element of poutine is (or should be) perfectly healthy - curd cheese, gravy, potatoes... you eat those things in various forms every day!

Ohuhmmm ok, off to make one now.

:D

I don't even want to think of what's in the ground beef available here from Pakistan and India. I bought some my first week here, looked at it and threw it away. Now I make my meatballs from Australian Ribeye, Brisket & Short ribs - grinding my own meat.

A factory in southern China recently got popped for mixing in green, as in went bad last month, chicken into their chicken mcnuggets. They were supplying McDonalds, BK and Pizza Hut throughout China and in Japan. American companies are wondering why business dropped to nil. "Americans like it." Chinese managers were "shocked" and promised to look into it. lol.

B Careful where you eat.
