This couple of weeks I have learned many horrible things about food. Yet, pink slime is one of the most disgusting fact I have learned so far. If one of my friends would have told me what I learned today, I probably would have not believed him or her. The reason why I am actually shocked is that the government approves this horrible act. How could they agree to feeding children with burgers that were sanitized with ammonia? I believe the food production has gone too far. I know the ammonia is used to kill the bacteria, but I also know that ammonia is a dangerous chemical and there are chances of the bacteria not dying completely. This method of meat production does not seem right, it seems uncivilized.
Even though, pink slime makes ground beef to cost cheaper, it is disgusting. I don't think that many people would be buying USDA ground beef if they knew where it came from. Will the USDA stop when people begin to die? Pink slime must be put to an end before something terrible happens.
