No offense, but the only response I can think of is "no shite."

first of all, you asked the question

second of all, if you're not buying pink slime beef, then why does it even matter to you?

The question was rhetorical as I had already said they were putting it in there for profit.

It matters to me because I am an elitist and a snob. For one, I don't trust that there are not adverse effects to treating beef with ammonia or other "pink slime" ingredients. Secondly, because of my own convictions, I would like to help people see it my way as I feel comfortable in my opinion on the matter.

We all wish it was only ground meat that had stuff like this going on. It's chickens pumped with antibotics, hormones to grow bigger, faster. It's cattle pumped with antibotics and hormones so they can survive long enough cramped in close quarters to be fattened and slaughtered.

E-Coli should never exist but because we are raising cattle in close quarters, feeding them corn instead of grass, our kids run the risk of dying from eating a freaking Happy Meal.....not worth it to me.

Like I said, we are damned near vegetarians now.....it's been a gradual process over the last 4 years or so. But feeding my kids this crap is not an option.

Nevermind the studies that have proven without a doubt that a diet high in meat protein causes cancer.

I'm not a liberal hippie either.....I'm a hard core conservative. 4 years ago I was overweight, ate wayyyyy too much junk, hamburgers, Taco Bell.
