Supermarket chains Kroger and Stop & Shop said Thursday they will join the growing list of store chains that will no longer sell beef that includes an additive with the unappetizing moniker "pink slime." Federal regulators say the ammonia-treated filler, known in the industry as "lean, finely textured beef," meets food safety standards.
I saw the special on that and can hardly eat a burger this week.

It doesn't harm us we are told, but yucko.
