My dad owned a small town meat market and I worked for him during my Wonder years. We never had anything like "pink slime" back in those days and I was kind of sick when I first heard about this additive. Fortunately, I stopped eating beef a long time ago and eat mostly free-range poultry and ocean-caught fish. But I still worry about what's going into the foods we eat. I know it's probably safe but it just doesn't sound natural and I have to believe that at some point, it's got to be bad for us. Don't get me wrong, I love junk and most processed food but I don't think it loves me so I, for one, am staying away from anything that includes "slime".
