Do You Know What's In Your Beef?

I think its gross...our grocery store now marks it? You have a choice to eat it if you want or not.....I wonder who comes up with this stuff. LIke I am supposed to have decaffinated cofffee......check and see what they use to do that!!! Very unhealthful!

We don't eat beef or porks, on sundays once a month my wife cooks goat meat or chicken, thanks for the information how ever.

I try not to think too much about fillers. I am guilty of buying foods for my kids that are loaded with fillers and I know they are unhealthy. I have always been taught the best thing to do when shopping is stick to the outer walls of the grocery store. The FRESH things are found here. The produce department, the fresh meats and then the dairy department. I need to get back into that habit and stay away from the convenience foods that my kids love so much. I can't imagine anything rinsed in ammonia would be considered healthy. I am surprised it is a practice that food manufacturing companies get away with to be honest.

I think the whole commercial food production system is so wrong that it's warped. How can that be food? And it's all in order to chase a bigger buck at the end of the day.

It was on a tv news program several months ago. I asked the butcher in the grocery where I shop most often if they used it and he assured me that they did not. Their work space is glassed in so customers can watch them grind the meats and package it. I don't buy meat from WalMart or any of the other big chains. Can't trust them to not be using stuff in their meat products that I wouldn't want in it. I'd prefer an exclusive meat market but we don't have such in this small town.

Pink slime is an old story. Most people seem to have since sort of forgotten about it, though, and gone back to eating their soylent green. I know what is in my beef--nothing. I haven't eaten beef in more than a decade. I don't miss it, either. Between the humane issues, health issues and environmental concerns, I have multiple reasons for not eating it.

hi Stoutjodee oh yes I have read about and just reading about it made my stomach queasy. Yuck the leavings from t e cutting room floor washed with amonia to not kill us.Pink slime thats so gross. I have been here in Gold Crest now for several years and am now glad we do not get many hamburgers other meats such as pork, chicken and t urkey but l ittle beef.that adulterated meat cannot possibly be healthy for us.
