PINK SLIME: Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution 70% of America's Beef is Treated with Ammonia Video

Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution filmed in Los Angeles and aired on April 12, 2011, Jamie demonstrates how 70% of America's ground beef contains leftover cow parts (a.k.a. "pink slime") containing e.coli and salmonella that has been treated with ammonia.

Ammonia treated meat can be found in virtually all conventional grocery stores, fast food restaurants, many national restaurant chains, and school cafeterias. The saddest part is that the USDA allows this ammonia treated meat to enter the marketplace and with no labeling requirement on the packaging to inform the consumer that the meat their about to buy contains ammonia, thus hiding the truth and pulling a wool over the consumer's eye.

This is certainly a rude awakening to the majority of Americans that don't know where the meat in their fridge, the meat in their conventional local grocery store, the meat in their fast food hamburger, and the meat in their restaurant made hamburger comes from. How do you avoid this poison? Buy beef that has come from grass fed cows, which can be found at natural and organic grocery stores and your local farmers market.

No matter the size of your town or city, grass fed beef (real beef) is not out of reach. Unlike ammonia treated beef, grass fed beef is clearly labeled and contains no ammonia.

MSNBC reports that the chemical, used in fertilizers, household cleaners and even homemade explosives, was also used to prepare McDonalds' hamburger meat.
And while the announcement is making headlines, you may (or may not) want to know about some other unusual chemicals being used in the production of some of our most-popular foods:

The International Business Times lists some other questionable chemicals showing up in our foods:

Propylene glycol: This chemical is very similar to ethylene glycol, a dangerous anti-freeze. This less-toxic cousin prevents products from becoming too solid. Some ice creams have this ingredient; otherwise you'd be eating ice.

Carmine: Commonly found in red food coloring, this chemical comes from crushed cochineal, small red beetles that burrow into cacti. Husks of the beetle are ground up and forms the basis for red coloring found in foods ranging from cranberry juice to M&Ms.

Shellac: Yes, this chemical used to finish wood products also gives some candies their sheen. It comes from the female Lac beetle.

L-cycsteine: This common dough enhancer comes from hair, feathers, hooves and bristles.

Lanolin (gum base): Next time you chew on gum, remember this. The goopiness of gum comes from lanolin, oils from sheep's wool that is also used for vitamin D3 supplements
.
Silicon dioxide: Nothing weird about eating sand, right? This anti-caking agent is found in many foods including shredded cheese and fast food chili.

So, what moved McDonald's to make the change in their hamburger production? In a statement posted on its website, McDonald's senior director of quality systems Todd Bacon wrote:

"At the beginning of 2011, we made a decision to discontinue the use of ammonia-treated beef in our hamburgers. This product has been out of our supply chain since August of last year. This decision was a result of our efforts to align our global standards for how we source beef around the world."

The U.S. Agriculture Department classifies the chemical as "generally recognized as safe." McDonald's says they stopped using the chemical months ago and deny the move came after a public campaign against ammonium hydroxide by celebrity chef Jamie Oliver.
The food industry uses ammonium hydroxide as an anti-microbial agent in meats, which allows McDonald's to use otherwise "inedible meat."

On his show, Oliver said of the meat treatment: "Basically we're taking a product that would be sold in the cheapest form for dogs and making it 'fit' for humans."

Even more disturbing, St. Louis-based dietician Sarah Prochaska told NBC affiliate KSDK that because ammonium hydroxide is considered part of the "component in a production procedure" by the USDA, consumers may not know when the chemical is in their food.

"It's a process, from what I understand, called 'mechanically separated meat' or 'meat product,'" Prochaska said. "The only way to avoid it would be to choose fresher products, cook your meat at home, cook more meals at home."

It's disgusting. ...
It's disgusting. This is all about getting rid of the poison waste byproducts, which are made into slime, doused with Ammonia and fed to the unsuspecting population for beef industry profits. No wonder so many people have had health problems and why the govt. wants to take over the entire Healthcare industry. If Obamacare passes in the USSC, there will be nothing to stop this kind of population reduction, the true goal of the elites.?

Seemed from his example that wasn't so bad, except for the ammonia rinse. They should have irradiated it to kill off the bacteria? vs using ammonia. Hey... it's meat protein and only in a place like America would we throw it away as "waste" or merely feed it to our pets.

Dear Sir/Ma'am, ...
Dear Sir/Ma'am, LFTB is not dog food. Before you comment on a subject you know nothing about, get the facts first. Unlike Mr. Oliver, I have talked to people who worked for the company that makes LFTB and the trimmings used are from? edible pieces, not garbage as you are lead to think. Mr. Oliver never once came to the plant where it was made. He only made wild assumptions just to boost his ratings. His un-truth statements are putting people out of work and taking food off of tables of many.

Another reason meat ...
Another reason meat eaters should RESPECT and THANK Vegans, we are watchdogs that keep their flesh safe (usda protects big business $) by exposing such crap. Ag Gag hides unsanitary conditions or abuses. MeatVideo (dot) com? by Mercy for Animals and Vegan Outreach. The only issue with it is that they may have to kill millions more animals since those parts cannot be made for human consumption. Now if they loose money and it drives meat prices up so people eat less of it that is good tho...

This is what America the Beautiful has come to? Our government ok's the? sale of dog food for human consumption. Well people, my fellow United States Citizens and Tax Payers, Looks like we have lost the war. When our government officials okay the sale of this to We The People? That tells us that we've lost the country. They won't allow Mothers of children to pack a home lunch, so they can feed your children DOG FOOD! LOL Welcome, My fellow countrymen. Welcome to the United States Of Walmart!

IF they are putting ...
IF they are putting this stuff on the school cafeteria menu then the school board and the school itself should? disclose this to each and every parent individually. I am not saying that it is unedible or unsafe but I AM saying that since it is NOT the same as traditional beef products they MUST disclose what it actually is to those who consume it. THAT is the honest way to do that. NOW what I am going to do myself? I know a packing plant which will allow me to pick the steer and process it.

You are deluded or a shill for the Pink Slime Industry. For one it was not discarded, it was used for pet food made, arguably, fit for human consumption. "Pink slime" is ammoniated and heat? treated highly processed low-quality beef tallow byproduct meat trimmings made up of low-grade beef trimmings from connective tissue, spinal, rectal, and other intestinal material. It is a food additive consisting of animal by-products treated with ammonia gas to kill foodborne illness causing bacteria.

is it legal to sell raw ground meat in US ? for example in Turkey it is illegal, butcher need to ground it in front of you, you select what type you need and he puts pieces in to the machine right before you buy. Not only because they can mix? stuff in it, but ground beef gets spoiled really fast after being processed.

I don't know man, I eat lots of s**t. I probably eat lots of pink slime too. I eat s**t that I'm moderately repulsed by. I guess the "safe food" answer would be some stupid s**t like "organic free-range hormone-free blah blah." And sorry for being a dickhead. This video is totally over the top, and it's propagandizing to small children. No one's going to live forever. We eat what we eat. In a perfect world we all get to eat perfect food.? The word utopia means "nowhere." Bewildered Herd = us.
