Original Title: TIL in December 2018, lean finely textured beef(pink slime) was reclassified as “ground beef” by the Food Safety And Inspection Service of the United States Department Of Agriculture. It is banned in Canada and the EU.
I find it annoying they try to pose this as such an ugly product because of how it looks. It’s ground up meat, why does it being “pink slime” make people cringe so bad?
Adding the ammonia and the chemical treatment of food is a different topic that is disgusting. But the appearance factor is nonsense to me. Some people need to make their own food, a lot of it is pretty gross until complete.
In general I agree. But the question is whether you can actually produce the product without the ammonia and chemicals.
