"The BLOG." : Pink Slime. Web. 25 Apr. 2012. <http://cube47.blogspot.com/2012/03/pink-slime.html>.
Today I am going to talk about pink slime. Pink slime is a substance that is used as an alternative to beef or meat used in school lunches and in some areas on yourselves in your grocery stores. Food Safety News says “Since the backlash ignited last month, concerned parents and grossed-out burger lovers have spoken out in droves, demanding it be labeled or altogether removed from store shelves and school lunches”.
This pink slime has been in McDonald, and School lunches ever since 2004 but has been known about ever since 2001. Yet The Washington Post did a documentary on it in 2008 four years after it was already on market. See but the thing is that The Washington Post says “People, it seems, who for years gobbled down “lean finely textured beef” sat upright when they saw pink slime.”
Many restaurants and grocery stores such as Wendy’s, Food Lion, kroger, and Safeway have abandoned the product. There has been many different schools that have had the opportunity to switch back to all beef instead of pink slime. Some beef companies hit an ten year low for the month of March and just as grilling season came around the corner.
