    But pink slime has been a part of millions of people’s diet for almost a century. Remove it and those people might just outlive the administration.

      Pink slime is just meat. That’s not the processed food we need to be worried about.

        “Pink slime” at my school was the custard they put on the cake.

        Yet. Processed lunch meats are often made of the stuff

          The problem with those is all the additives, such as nitrates. You can also get nitrates from eating bacon which is not nearly as processed.

            Bacon is processed and isn’t super healthy for you.

              But that’s the case even for home made bacon (or any home made smoked / cured food for that matter).

                Yes, bacon is generally unhealthy and shouldnt be regularly consumed.

            Yeah, nitrates are way worse than most of the stuff they’re worrying about.

            They are at least trying though, unlike all the other ‘for the children’ movements
