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.
All processed foods, especially baked goods, ice cream, pizza, chips 'n' dips etc., are very bad for your health. The only difference here is that it suffered from its name "pink slime". Many who are repulsed by the name, will still eat numerous other highly processed (junk) foods.
