Remember back

Yahoo had an article recently that McDonald's was discontinuing its use of pink slime. The more I know about fast food and other restaurants, the easier it is for me to just eat at home. Time has gone by quickly, I did not realize that was a whole year ago.

I was thinking mcdonald's had used the pink slime too, I heard it somewhere not too long ago. It's sad though as we love the taste of this stuff but it is so unhealthy for us. Much better to make our own chicken nugets, and taco's or go to a place that is more reputable.

just the name pink slime would turn you off o these places that use it I stopped eatting at mc donalds way before this back in the 80s for I got a raw buger in Boston yuk! Stopped burger king for sausage wasnt cooked done another yuk! If we want a buger that we dont think is doctored up wiuth junk we go to a reg. resrant and order one or cook it at home at home I know the meat is done!!!!

hi celticEagle my son was telling me about pink slime and I al most threw up thiking how many hambui=rgers I had ate at B urger King and they also used that crap.cuttings from the sweeping on the meat packers floors and all that slime no wonder I never liked chicken nuggets.MacDonalds was one I had never liked the hamburgers were tiny and had an odd off taste. me I like In and out as they do use one hundred percent pure beef no pink slime. yuck.No wonder I do not go out to eat hamburgers any more.you are not sure what is in them.

It does bother me that fast food chains use this "meat". We all know that fast food is unhealthy, so we are making a choice to eat unhealthy when we go to these places. Of course, there is a difference between being unhealthy in our eating habits and being unhealthy by contracting a disease such as E-coli or salmonella, especially when both these diseases can be fatal, especially in the elderly or in someone with an already compromised immune system. However, fast food chains using these products does not bother me as much as learning that many school lunch rooms use this product. Many people send their children to school expecting them to get a nourishing lunch only to find out that they are being exposed to these sorts of products - that is completely unacceptable. Also, most (if not all) school districts have free or reduced price lunches for low income households. This program is supposed to help ensure that these children get at least one meal a day that is healthy and filling yet this practice of using potentially contaminated meat flies in the face of that premise not to mention that they have not said anything about the potential health risks of eating ammonia over a prolonged period of time.

How unconceivable that is! I don't know what the "pink slime" is until I trawl it online.It is ammonia-treated meat and it was reported that they have it in school lunch.Nowaday ,some people who care solely for profit go so far as to do whatever they will.It is not too much to say that they are murdering people for their money.

Personally anymore, you never know what is really considered Safe, and Free from chemicals, etc. I am sure there are even restaurants around that have been known to do this, and use it, and many of them might not even be aware of it. It could even be in some of your local Grocery stores as well. I guess you could try to get your food as fresh as you can or organic grown just to be safe. I guess you never know unless something effect you do you?

that does not sound healthy aat all i have also heard of few ppl i know eating mcdonalds big mac wraps and getting very sick from it for days im pretty sure it was due to food poisoning and mainly due to macdonalds wraps,,very gross

omg, no wonder coco is sick at her stomach today. we love fast food here but im quiting eating that crap now. thanks for the heads up. problem is when its brought into the house, she begs it off us.

I remember those discussions! I saw something a few weeks ago about pink slime but I thought it was McDonald's...that's who my b/f said it was. I think that nasty pink slime might be used by more companies than one. Was it an employee in the plant that exposed them?

That's why I'm glad for being Vegan, good for Animals, good for us.
