The trouble is that the real story isn't being told.

1. It is 100% beef.
2. It is safer than regular ground beef.
3. The amonia product has been widely used in the food industry as a preservative for years. I would bet all of you have products in your house with it in now, like Jello.

It actually is a better protein source, and it reduces the fat and produces a lean healthy protein source with the right amino acid profile for sound human nutrition. Originally Posted by farmstud60

Hey captain, my local meat shop (not MP) doesn't use it and neither does Reasors here in OK which is my secondary. I did notice now that there are dozens of places that are pulling it from the shelves, but Wal-Mart threw in some mystery by only saying "we will offer both to our customers"? I am sure they won't put a sticker on it saying "contains pink slime", so how is anybody going to know if they go to Wally World?

Look for the pink slime or start buying buffalo meat

Alot of grocery stores are reconsidering because of the rising price of beef and folks it is only going get higher, we are at a 50 year low in feed lot numbers

wrong again, I worked for Hormel, READ THE LABEL, I believe it says pork shoulder meat, which is pretty good stuff

Spam was a major factor in WW2, think about it, an unrefrigerated product in the middle of a battle field, Patton should have given Spam a medal and it now comes with Bacon
