What's 'pink slime' anyway?
Pink-slime is the 'lean beef trimming' remnants of a cow carcass after the prime cuts of meat have been removed.
The remaining fat gets spun off using a centrifuge. After tearing the tiny tidbits of tissue the mass must then be sprayed with ammonium hydroxide to kill eColi and other fun bugs. Turning the mess into a gooey pink pile of ponderous provender.
At least 66% of ground beef sold in supermarkets contains pink-slime, according to Gerald Zirnstein, a former scientist at USDA. He objects because he says there is no labeling requirement, and most consumers are oblivious to the infusion.
The Obama people think pink-slime is low in fat, so it bought seventeen million pounds to feed to your kids at school. Since Obama has okay'd horse-meat for human consumption, this must seem like a pretty good deal by comparison.
The only question remains - how long before horse-meat gets into school lunches - you know, to save money...
