Entry# 9 Pink Slime





     Pink slime or as the American Meat Institute calls it, "boneless lean beef trimmings  (BLBT) — is added to regular ground beef to keep costs down. Healthy food is very important in people's lives especially when they are young because it affects on their health in the future. At first I never  think about the food that my son eats in school; I thought he just eats healthy food. But after I watch the pink slime video and read the article, I become worried about what he eats.
     I shocked when I see how the meet treated with ammonia. Ammonia  hydroxide is a danger to human health and should be banned. The Chef Jimmy has felt a lot of disgust when he discovered that McDonald's uses ammonium hydroxide to convert fatty beef  to meat used in meals and burgers.
I wonder, how sane human being to develop a meat-filled with ammonia in the mouths of our children?
    Jimmy proved in practice and in front of the TV audience with one of his aides how is the process of meat processing and how this work does not hold any respect for the value of human life at this company. Oliver repeatedly explained to the public , over the past several years - in documentaries TV shows and interviews - that the fatty portions of beef are washed in ammonium hydroxide and used to fill the hamburger .
These parts are considered unfit for human consumption.                                         According to the chef Jamie Oliver " in basically, the products are sold cheap food for dogs and after this process , they are sold for humans . "
