I see absolutely no reason to tone down facts. And it’s not rage as much as it is disgust against an industry charging premium (beef) prices for an
adulterated and diluted product (NOT BEEF) as well as the govt. which enables and permits the deception by not insisting upon truth in labeling.
The reason TB is being sued is for misrepresentation of an adulterated product.
Unfortunately, the wrong ingredients are being focused upon. As Filmfann humorously points out, adding oatmeal might make it more healthy :)
But adding “pink slime” definitely won’t. Do you think the outbreaks of E-coli at various fast food places every few years (which have killed people) are just an unlucky coincidence? It’s proof that the ammonia is not nearly as sufficient to destroy the pathogens lurking in floor sweepings as the processors keep insisting. So they just add more ammonia. It would make more sense to substitute that 10% with real qualify beef, but that wouldn’t be nearly as profitable as wringing every last dime out of the floor trimmings. Ammonia is cheap and plentiful, after all.
Perhaps if you were a parent of a child killed by one of the E-coli outbreaks, your attitude might be a bit less sanguine about these deceptive and dangerous practices which the government permits.
But we live in a free country and whoever still wants to enjoy TB after they are fully aware of the facts of what’s really in it, that’s fine with me. I’m not the least bit interested in dictating how or what anyone else eats. That’s their own business.
I’m only interested in shining a spotlight on some of the less savory aspects of a deceptive industry (pun intended) for they are not in dispute ( the govt. permits pink slime and merely regulates the allowable percentages added) and are truly unsavory in every sense of the word both culinary and ethical.
But don’t take my word for it. I can’t do links with iPhone or I would post a few doozies. But “pink slime” is a really simple search term and the basic facts are not in dispute (merely obfuscated for profit).
Everyone is free to do their own research and come to their own conclusions.
TB is being sued for misrepresentation of adulterated beef. IMHO the wrong ingredients are being focused upon. I’m just trying to balance out the complete picture. No rage. “Just the facts, ma’am” (as Sgt. Friday used to say)
