Get A Room!!
ETA: and split a burger.
((((hugs)))) back atcha, Odesio. I phrased poorly, you got mad, it’s all good in the end.
Now I have to run off and eat many mosquitoes! Because it’s what we batty old bats do best.
Seriously, I am actually having a friend build me bat houses as I write, because the mosquitoes are fucking insane this year.
I only but my slime from a small batch artisanal producer that strictly sells to select people it chooses to be members.
I’m sure you haven’t heard of it. You have to have a sponsor member just to get on the waitlist.
[insert your own baseball-or-cricket pun here]
Cite?
I ask because it such absolute crap of a statement, a complete untruth. It is AT LEAST as safe as the rest of the industrially mass produced ground beef it is mixed in with.
Number of adverse health events associated with the product? Zero. ZERO.
Number of blinded trials comparing the taste and texture of burgers made with beef that contains the product and the same quality of industrially mass produced generic ground beef that does not contain it that document a superiority of the product without? Zero. (The beef companies claim to have blinded taste trials that show the opposite but I dismiss them.)
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

Lame Pit!
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na…
Anyway, concerns over so-called “pink slime” only prove that scare journalism works.
That’s what she said.
Wait…did the pitter and pittee make up and cyber ((((hug))))? This is so dumb.
I don’t know what’s worse. A lame pitting or all the posts that came after the 24th complaining about the lame pitting.
But was it 100% lame pitting or was there pink lame pitting filler added?
Your post made the thread worth it. And it was 5% pink lame pitting filler.
Neither. Parenthetical hugs are the worst. Duh.
Agreed. They are both buttholes.
The Merriam-Webster definition of ‘beef’ is “the flesh of an adult domestic bovine (as a steer or cow) used as food.” This checks out with my dead-trees American Heritage dictionary and some other online dictionaries as well.
To a layman such as myself, ‘flesh’ excludes bones, tendons, organs, and the like. And while I accept that the mass slaughtering and dismembering of cattle is going to be a less-than-perfect process, with small amounts of bone and tendon winding up attached to the cuts of cow flesh that go into the meat grinder to become ground beef, the deliberate injection into ground beef of a mixture that is known to overrepresent those non-flesh parts is qualitatively different from incidental inclusion of same due to imperfections in the process, and AFAIAC violates any reasonable standard of truth in labeling.
And of course, the difference in the degree of grinding is rather extreme. There has always been an implicit understanding of what that means, and this ain’t it.
If they want to specify on the label that what they call ‘ground beef’ includes or doesn’t include this stuff, that’s fine. Then I as a consumer can make informed choices. Otherwise, let 'em include it in hot dogs, bologna, and other products that say right there on the label that they include some of the more interesting animal bits.
I have no problem with the awareness that the more interesting bits are part of what I eat - I love a good hot dog every now and then. But I want to make the choice of whether to eat those bits, and not have it foisted on me by a meat-packing plant.
