Cutting down on beef as it is, so I don't think I'll miss it too much.
At least four Fast Food places announced in December they would stop using meat products with it. Recently some major Supermarkets announced they would no longer sell meat products with it.
Anyone going to miss their Pink Slime? By how much meat prices increase?

I only buy fresh ground beef so I won't have anything to miss.
But your Ground Beef may have pink slime in it. Pink slime is recovered beef, so there is no labeling requirement.
It's really pretty easy to tell the difference, and yes, I only buy fresh ground beef, no pink slime. My wife brought some of that home from the Target superstore for me to grill before I knew about that ...I could tell there was something weird about the color and the texture and went ahead and started to use it...it didn't even cook like ground beef and I threw it out.
Actually, the ground beef I've been using the last few months is from an organic grass fed steer I raised and had custom slaughtered last November, so again, i'm' sure no pink slime.
you killed norman?
Good for you. That's how I would buy my beef if I bought it, but I don't buy beef anymore. When I have a craving for it, I go out for a steak dinner. Been a while since I bough a chunk of roast and made stew. I may have to do that again.
how many times have you raised a steer?
Never, but I'm familiar. Used to visit my grandparents rather often on their farm.
Why? You craving some Rocky Mountain Oysters?
Nope.
His name was T-Bone.
so, you bought meat from your grandparents?
not surprising that thought is in your head.Why? You craving some Rocky Mountain Oysters?
Somebody tell WC that steers don't have oysters.
he doesn't know about steers.
Not gonna miss ammonia, tbh... we buy at Costco which has a strict no pink slime policy
"Miss Pink Slime" would be a terrible beauty contest to win.
beef is bad for you by its very nature even if its organic and grass fed anyway...eat chicken and fish tbh, problem solved.
When you make a steer out of a male calf, you have two Rocky Mountain Oysters as well.
Didn't you know that?

I'm tired of all the healthy nuts balls out there. Beef...it's what's for dinner.
I don't run a cow/calf operation anymore. I buy weaned steers around 400# and feed them out. Nuts are long gone by then.
After Receiving $45,000 In Meat Industry Cash, Rep. Steve King Comes To Pink Slime’s Defense
KING: I’m on the phone today and throughout the weekend and into last week trying to establish a congressional hearing before the Ag Committee for Beef Products, Incorporated, so that we can put into the congressional record the nutritional value and the safety and the tastiness of their product which is an enhancement to hamburger.

Could 'pink slime' be rebranded?
Three out of the four US factories making "lean beef trimmings" are to be shut down following a public outcry. Is "pink slime" - as critics call it - finished or could it be relaunched under a new name?
Industry fight-back
It might also be the first example of a food ingredient being withdrawn not because of any safety fears, but because people have decided it sounds disgusting.
Jamie Oliver Jamie Oliver first alerted Americans to what was in their burgers
Industry chiefs are furious about what they see as a media-led smear campaign against a product that has been used in the US since the early 1990s and meets federal food safety standards.
Earlier this week, they launched a fight back - unveiling a new slogan "Dude, it's beef" and enlisting the help of Texas governor and former presidential candidate Rick Perry, who dutifully chowed down on a burger containing the stuff on a visit to a processing plant in South Sioux City, Nebraska.
To British eyes, this stunt contains echoes of Conservative government minister John Gummer feeding his young daughter a beefburger, in front of the TV news cameras, at the height of the "mad cow disease" controversy in 1990.

You actually can't tell him anything, even the painfully obvious.
"eat chicken"
oops:
Arsenic in Our Chicken?
a pair of new scientific studies suggesting that poultry on factory farms are routinely fed caffeine, active ingredients of Tylenol and Benadryl, banned antibiotics and even arsenic.
"We were kind of floored," said Keeve E. Nachman, a co-author of both studies and a scientist at the Johns Hopkins University Center for a Livable Future. "It's unbelievable what we found."
Poultry-growing literature has recommended Benadryl to reduce anxiety among chickens, apparently because stressed chickens have tougher meat and grow more slowly. Tylenol and Prozac presumably serve the same purpose.
The same study also found that one-third of feather-meal samples contained an antihistamine that is the active ingredient of Benadryl. The great majority of feather meal contained acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol. And feather-meal samples from China contained an antidepressant that is the active ingredient in Prozac.
Researchers found that most feather-meal samples contained caffeine. It turns out that chickens are sometimes fed coffee pulp and green tea powder to keep them awake so that they can spend more time eating. (Is that why they need the Benadryl, to calm them down?)
These findings will surprise some poultry farmers because even they often don't know what chemicals they feed their birds. Huge food companies require farmers to use a proprietary food mix, and the farmer typically doesn't know exactly what is in it.
