    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    If the grinder has different size grates, try them both. We liker the burger's with the bigger size grind and meatloaf with the smaller.If you have a fairly good sized piece of meat to start with, be sure to cut several pounds ofstew sized beef. Not only good for stew, but for sishkaboobs, too.

    "Pink Slime" is merely mechanically separated meat. They are able to get more of the meat (And gristle) from the bone, and use it as filler. Not the most nutritious part of the cut, but it's not dangerous.

    People start getting all wonky over something they'd gnaw off the bone anyways. I know I like a big chunk of gristle sometimes :)

    Until they start adding ammonia and other stuff. Is it your proposal that cow shit, tenderly and gently disinfected is no longer cow shit? Maybe it is not dangerous, but I am paying for prime grade "A" beef. No beef by products (Dog Food) or cow shit included. Ground beef is almost $4 a pound here, I'm pretty sure I can get a pound of Old Roy for less.

    They're not adding ammonia... It's being rinse in ammonia as a disinfectant. The ammonia is then rinsed away. If it contained ammonia, you would die upon eating it. And, last I checked, nobody has died.

    Nobody has died yet.

    So you are saying it is OK to eat cow shit if they wash the germs away? I know you can eat allot of stuff for a very long time before it's consequences rears it ugly head... Lead for instance.

    Sigh.

    In reality, yes, you can eat cow shit, if there is no bacterium present in it. It's not toxic, you know. Ammonia, in fact, isn't all too toxic, unless ingested in large amounts:

    So, while Mechanically Separated Meat most likely isn't the most tastiest meat product, and has almost no nutritional value; it's hardly dangerous to consume.

    Hey! Lookey here! Tap water must be toxic and dangerous too:

    They add ammonia to water, sometimes.
