'Pink Slime' For Lunch: Schools Can Opt Out Of Ammonia-Treated Ground Beef Filler

Dog food?
Only the manufacturer can make pink slime look...appetizing?
Terrific article! In my humble opinion there's a simple way to test whether the highly processed, growth hormone-steroid -antibiotic fed, genetically engineered, fake food products that we are serving our children should be served at all:

Have the test kitchen be Congress and only serve the same foods in the government cafeterias as in America's lunch rooms.

I doubt very much that the USDA cafeterias serve pink slime. Heard they have a lovely array of fresh produce...

And, to those individuals that may have (ahem) ties to the food and beverage industry that are posting comments: since when do I need a masters in chemistry, white lab coat and "scientifically proven" study to make my children a "safe and healthy" lunch?

Don't forget about mechanically separated chicken

p.s. Additional comment posted: TRUE! Pink slime (a "food product" with zero nutritional value and serious safety concerns because it is not edible - in it's "natural" state) is simply a bi-product of factory farmed beef and a "food" manufacturer (most definitively with government ties) has found a way to make a bundle using our tax dollars.

It should be on the menus of Congress (and the USDA) - Congress controls the wallet.
