Meat (sic) The Other Slimes
The massive grass roots campaign over the topic of "pink slime" which seemingly came out of nowhere, and led to the bankruptcy of the company producing the substance, shows just why product branding can be such a profitable industry. Had the company taken a hint from the Goldman playbook and dubbed the peculiar substance an "Asymmetric Meat Initiative" all would have been forgotten in days, if not hours. Unfortunately, the mechanical process of "lean finely textured beef", aka pink slime, is just the beginning. As ProPublica shows, after pink slime, there comes Mechanically Separated Meat, aka "White Slime", and then Advanced Meat Recovery. And if recent history is a guide, any entities that have an equity stake in these last two processes should be afraid, very afraid, because the fate that befell the first, is about to visit the other two, in the process making such other 'delicacies" as bologna, hot dogs, taco filling, and meatballs surge in price once the traditional cheap "filler" substance is taken away by the same people who consume said meat byproducts in droves, in the process likely ending the concept of the dollar menu for good as restaurants have no choice but to resort to quality food. Ironically, will fat America itself, terrified by concepts such a colored slime, be responsible for its own weening from some of the worst products on earth, and in the process raise the price of food, and force itself to eat less? Will the end of the "slimes" be the one savior of the massively underfunded US welfare state as America gets healthy and lean again? Alas, we doubt it. But one can always hope.

ok maybe I just don't "get" this sort of humor but why would a mother-in-law be mad if you were doing what you ought to on the path of not being a shitty lay, I mean hypothetically wouldn't she be glad baby girl is being taken care of
because that is a cunnilingus joke right? it was kind of a mixed metaphor of jokes
Jesus...
Mixed metaphor. Kinda like interbreeding jokes
Oh there they go... THERE they go, EVERY time i start talkin' bout boxin' white man got ta bring Rocky Marciano out they ass.............................
He beat Joe Louis' ass.....
Textured meat products...the other white meat?
Textured beef product "Its whats for dinner" or how about Tyson's chickens motto "feeding you like family' bitchez
Glad i raise my own food. I hope they sent this crap by the truckload to wallstreet and D.C. restrants. eat up.
Mmmmmmm, bitchez
Eeww...
"will fat America itself, terrified by concepts such a colored slime, be responsible for its own weening from some of the worst products on earth, and in the process raise the price of food, and force itself to eat less?"
Perhaps part of the fat epidemic is directly related to the widespread consumption of this garbage, especially by the poor who chose it for obvious reasons. If you're eating nutrition free food, you're gonna eat a lot of it to feel full.
Is there a corelation to this and obiesity? There is, isn't there! Amazing!

Is it any wonder the number of Americans with cancer, neurological, and auto-immune diseases is rising.
Our bodies were designed to eat things we either pulled from the ground, picked off a bush, or chased, killed and dragged back to camp then threw in the fire. Get as close to that as you can. Simple philosophy, hard to put into practice.
...and autism....and...more. There is no doubt a connection to all of the crap in overly processed foods.
Remember those DAK hams from the Grocery store? I always wondered why they were shaped like an Egg.
Oh my....

And no wonder there are so many instances of E. coli contamination in the meat supply.
They have a pill for that (and everything else) LOL
Not if it's properly irradiated.
As a farmer i have knowen about this for many years.
The real problem is that any animal pushes toxins into fatty tissue.
Then you get what is called bio-magnification,this is the scary part.
If you want me to continue explaining just ask,i dont feel like typing for no reason.
Yes please explain and give links! (creditable ones please......)
Of course. This is your only chance. When is the last time Tyler posted anything about meat?
Didn't you see the thread on Blythe?
See now, I'll pitch in with a request too and then you can type all night long with good reason.
Come on, gotta be some seriously sick shit that we can play with.
It's true.
Heavy metals and other lipophilic toxins get concentrated in the fat of animals (and humans; our brain is mostly fat, and that's where the aluminum and mercury ends up), and especially apex predators. This is why tuna are loaded with mercury and shark are a no-go for anyone concerned about mercury contamination.
"This is why tuna are loaded with mercury and shark are a no-go for anyone concerned about mercury contamination."
Not True!
Turns out, though, that eating ocean fish that contain more selenium than mercury protects against mercury toxicity. Ocean fish (e.g., halibut, salmon) and shellfish (e.g., lobster, crab) are chock-full of the mineral: 17 of the top 25 selenium food sources are seafood

Securitization - The Undead Heart of the Shadow Banking System
.
http://jessescrossroadscafe.blogspot.com/2012/04/securitization-undead-h...
.
"..Welcome into the warm, hydraulic embrace of leverage." ....
.
"Leverage
You pay to have some new cash printed and polished. You use it to take out a large loan. You invest the loan. And it is the profit from this new investment that pays for and makes sense of the costs of all that polishing. This new investment, far removed from the original mortgages is what it has all been building towards. What it has all been about.
It is the profit you will make from the investment, made with the loan, given to you on the basis of the securities, made from the underlying mortgages. This is the real logic of the whole system. NOT getting a feeble return from a few poxy mortgages.
Mortgages were merely the feed-stock for a system (called Securitization) whose purpose was to create new money in order to feed into, in turn, another machine called Leverage.
Securitization plus leverage, lubricated by an unlimited new source of money. That was the machine. It’s what they are trying so hard to kick start again.
The thing to note is that the Securitization of sub-par mortgages does NOT make sense unless you have leveraged loans to bring in the profit. Is it any wonder that Henry Paulson while at Goldman from around 2000 onwards lobbied relentlessly for limits on leverage to be relaxed or lifted. And is it coincidence that when leverage was lifted in 2004 when Mr Paulson was now US Secretary of the Treasury that sub-prime took off?
I am not saying leverage was the cause of sub-prime. I am saying it was the other necessary part which had to be married to securitization for the bubble to inflate as it did. Securitization required leverage. Leverage enabled it. Together they brought the debt-to-money machine to life.
You started with a debt/mortgage. Turned it into currency. Used that to get another loan, i.e. turned it back into debt which you then invested it in another enterprise hoping to bring in more cash. And along the way that new loan you took on, using ‘money’ made from the earlier debt – will probably be securitized and entered into the same process. Confused? Don’t worry. So were half the people in the market, but it didn’t matter to them. They were turning water into wine and getting drunk on it.
Because from that one loan/mortgage has sprung another debt. Both now need to perform. If they do, the bubble grows and you will get twice as rich, twice as fast.
The securitization machine provided an endless supply of new money. It made sense to acquire the stuff because with it you could expand your own loan book. This is why the German Landesbanks bought so much of it. It was, to them, capital, which allowed them to go on a borrowing and lending spree of their own.
Anyone who wanted to grow aggressively and lend massively became the purchasers of as much of this stuff as they could get hold of. RBS was one. Buy it. Sell it on, use it as collateral. It was all good, as long as the bubble grew and leverage allowed returns to cover the costs.
But for the bubble to keep growing and the profits continue to pay for the costs and risks of the sub-prime securities leverage had to get higher and higher. The rate of acceleration of growth of the whole market had to increase. The graph had not just to climb but steepen. The problem is a line can’t get steeper for ever. Eventually it goes vertical and then there is no more. Markets call this a parabolic blow-off. After which because there is no more acceleration, the whole thing collapses back under its own weight.
That was the moment when everyone suddenly recognized the risk in every account and when Lehman could not repo any of its ‘assets’. The promise was revealed as a lie and everything stopped – dead." golem xiv
Funny how suddenly everyone jumps on the shadow banking bandwagon, or the one we have claimed for over 3 years, is the very heart of the "Treasury as a giffen good" paradox, whereby debt is rehypothecated to the very issuer's custodial complex, in a infinite daisy chain of expanding collateral, and in the process provides more cash than the actual debt 'displaces.' Ever wonder why Bids To Cover for all bonds keeps rising as ever more and more debt is issued? Ask State Street and BonY and their $35 trillion in "custodial securities", which serve as a source of well over $35 trillion in non-depositor sourced cash.
Either way, we are happy more and more are finally getting that the true source of credit money was never regulated in the last two decades, is the true object of "distraction" with trivial tangential data, and which is, for the most part, never on the books of any financial institution!
Read much more here, but most certainly read this.
Malone is hardly jumping on the bandwagon. He has done a great service by running his blog to explain to those that need the basics. His book is nothing new to you or to me, but it does help those that are getting strangled and want an explanation.
Lately Malone has come up with some controversial and believeable essays on shadow banking and the piles of debt foisted upon Ireland and the rest. Your ally here is doing a damned good job. Looking back at his stuff from 2011 and the connections to the insolvent reach of the giant Italian banks has not been covered as well as he did.
So Jesse found him this month and is putting in links. Those two are on the same morality wavelength. As for myself, I am with the morality argument of both of them.

Pink slime is preferable to soylent green.
In the Army we use to call this R.I.P.
R's holes, I holes and Piss holes............
I have done my own farm butchering over the years. To have a good clean product requires time and care in the gutting process. Inside the huge slaughter houses time is money. The process there makes it inevitable that the meat is heavily contaminated with, lets call a spade a spade, animal shit. Every chicken coming out of that process is heavily covered in it. Most other meats are also contaminated in this way, but chickens are the worst.
God himself only knows what goes into these processed meats. I stay away from it. Pink Slime I have known about for years. That is why i grind my own ground meats, beef and pork. You pick a nice cut of beef and grind it yourself and freeze it in small plastic bags. Store ground beef has all the stuff that can not be sold in any other form.
McDonalds Chicken McNuggets are made from the worst filth known to man. I watch mothers and dads stuff their kids with McDonalds filth, poor kids!
In a free market, we choose what we want to eat. My only argument FOR regulations is that people should KNOW what the processes are and how the meat is handled. Only an informed person can make a consumer choice that makes any sense.
As for Pink Slim makers and Chicken Slime makers. Hey, if people want that shit, then they will have a customer base. But if keeping their processes secret is the only way they can retain a consumer base? Then let them go bankrupt.
ugh you're so right about the ground beef from the store. I rarely buy meat but occasionally ground beef for spaghetti or whatever and I really need to just start grinding it myself
I was at a "manfest" last week and the host made deer burgers... pretty cool
I grew up watching my parents raise chickens for eggs (and eating) as well as a steer for butcher every now and then. My dad was a hunter so we had venison on a regular basis too. The butchering was like a ritual, everything just so, neat and tidy. Good times.
And grinding, another ritual.
pink slime is 100% beef. it's just ground up. There is no additive. no emulsifier. just beef. get over this. it makes you look dumb "OMG it looks so disgusting! BAN HE!"
Just beef. Lips, tongues, hooves, and anything else that can't be marketed at a higher price - sicko.
Elbows and assholes actually :)
Lean finely textured beef consists of finely ground beef scraps, sinew, fat, and connective tissue which have been mechanically removed in a heated centrifuge from the fat into liquid fat and a protein paste. The recovered material is processed, heated, and treated with ammonia gas to kill E. coli, salmonella, and other bacteria. It is finely ground, compressed into blocks and flash frozen.
It is not permitted in Canada. In a statement, Health Canada stated that: "Ammonia is not permitted in Canada to be used in ground beef or meats during their production." Such products also may not be imported.
It also does not meet the legal requirements for sale in the United Kingdom, and has been banned in the European Union.
Good stuff. Have some more ammonia saturated connective tissue (esepcially from the spinal cord and brain stem).
It is also made from people! Ever wonder where all of those missing people end up?
Well, Canada got that right, but overall, it's still a very backward country.
There are things - many things - I am not wild about in Canada.
On a relative basis, however, the USSA sure is doing its upmost to make Canada look good.
NDAA 2012 is an example. I'd probably be able to whip up over a hundred examples of how far the U.S. has fallen in terms of ignoring the Bill of Rights, just for starters.
The NDAA has yet to have any effect on me. I find that the cure for all of this paranoia is to drive out into the country, stop the car, open the door, and just look around, breathe, and relax. None of that bullshit matters. Our Bill of Rights has been dead or dying for its entire existence, it's not worth worrying about. I'm a fan of the 2nd Amendment, but I would probalby own guns regardless of whether there was such a thing as a Bill of Rights. It's all just grandstanding.

I'm glad you're not my nieghbor because I wouldn't waste a bullet to help protect your apathetic ass.
guys in 5 years time we'll own you....nuff said
Oh, yeah, we're backward. Corporations and unions are banned from contributing to federal elections, and there are stringent limits on 3rd party activities. We don't have Diebold voting machines; we use good old paper ballots. We have a Prime Minister who can actually speak without a teleprompter, and sound intelligent, and nobody thinks he's Kenyan, Muslim, or a Commie. We don't have a Gitmo, an NDAA, or an AG who sells guns to criminals. We do have voter ID laws. We don't let our PM murder our citizens in Canada or abroad. We don't have 5, or 10, or 50 bank failures a week. We're not immune to the Vampire Squid, but it doesn't buy and sell our government. We don't have an out of control EPA who think you can till a farm without raising dust, or who reduce thousands of farmers to penury to save an inch long junk fish that's no good for anything. And while we have our share of useless politicians, we have no one in the same universe, let alone "class", as Maxine Waters or Charles Rangel. Our government has taken steps to reform pensions, which are nowhere near as badly bent as SS. Toronto, a city of 2.5 million, has about 50 murders a year. Philadelphia, a city of 1.5 million, has about 300 murders a year.
We have our problems, sure. But, how, exactly, is Canada backward compared to the US? Fewer Kardashians? No Snooki? No Trayvons? You know, we do have TV, jet planes, cars, and the intratube, even though it gets clogged with ice from time to time.
Jerk.
I agree with most of what you said eh, but break down Toronto and Philly by race and that will explain the murder rates, in a perfectly rational fashion you hoser. To say it plainly: The murder rates are identical, when calculated based on race. Plus it's cold as Hell up there.
What I don't know is if you can legally purchase and carry pistols? And if you blow away some criminal breaking into your house do you get legally ruined and jailed like you would in England/NZ/AUS or would you be within your rights as in US?
http://www.firearmstraining.ca/permits.htm
as far as blowing away someone breaking into your house, Canada typically has an 'eye for eye' defence in that if it can be proven that your life was in jeopardy, then it is acceptable to take a life.
Criminal Code, Sections 34-3734. (1) Every one who is unlawfully assaulted without having provoked the assault is justified in repelling force by force if the force he uses is not intended to cause death or grievous bodily harm and is no more than is necessary to enable him to defend himself.
(2) Every one who is unlawfully assaulted and who causes death or grievous bodily harm in repelling the assault is justified if
(a) he causes it under reasonable apprehension of death or grievous bodily harm from the violence with which the assault was originally made or with which the assailant pursues his purposes; and
(b) he believes, on reasonable grounds, that he cannot otherwise preserve himself from death or grievous bodily harm.
35. Every one who has without justification assaulted another but did not commence the assault with intent to cause death or grievous bodily harm, or has without justification provoked an assault on himself by another, may justify the use of force subsequent to the assault if
(a) he uses the force
(i) under reasonable apprehension of death or grievous bodily harm from the violence of the person whom he has assaulted or provoked, and
(ii) in the belief, on reasonable grounds, that it is necessary in order to preserve himself from death or grievous bodily harm;
( b) he did not, at any time before the necessity of preserving himself from death or grievous bodily harm arose, endeavour to cause death or grievous bodily harm; and
(c) he declined further conflict and quitted or retreated from it as far as it was feasible to do so before the necessity of preserving himself from death or grievous bodily harm arose.
36. Provocation includes, for the purposes of sections 34 and 35, provocation by blows, words or gestures.
37. (1) Every one is justified in using force to defend himself or any one under his protection from assault, if he uses no more force than is necessary to prevent the assault or the repetition of it.
(2) Nothing in this section shall be deemed to justify the wilful infliction of any hurt or mischief that is excessive, having regard to the nature of the assault that the force used was intended to prevent.
Well, that's an answer. But the same written laws probably exist in US/UK/NZ but I know that in UK/NZ, if you so much as muss the hair of a thief or intruder, sure enough, the court and jury always finds that you were NOT in immediate danger of your life and off to prison you go! And you always used "too much force" double the sentence.
In the US, when it is your house or business, and some lowlife breaks in and ends up dead, you generally get the benefit of the doubt and walk with minimal legal difficulty.
(weird alien landscapes like CA/NY/NJ excepted)
This is an area where Canada has fallen down, but is slowly getting back up. There have been a number of incidents where a Canadian defending his property has been arrested, while the offenders get off scot free. In the most egregious example, a Chinese grocer in Toronto grabbed a drug user who had stolen stuff from his store (not just this time, but a number of previous times as well), and with his brother's help, held the thief in a van while he waited for the cops. The cops charged the grocer with unlawful confinement, and the prosecutor gave the crook a pass in return for his testimony. Luckily, the court found in favour of the grocer, but it cost him 1,000's in legal fees. (Ironically, the crook was later arrested for yet another theft, and is now in jail.)
In another case, a man's home was attacked by a bunch of teenage thugs in the middle of the night, throwing Molotov cocktails at his house. The retired army vet took out his shotgun, went to his porch, and fired a warning shot in the air. He was charged with unlawful use of a firearm, unlawful storage, and a bunch of other things. Again, once it went to court (and after a huge public outcry) the man was acquitted.
The new Conservative government has said it will introduce legislation to make it easier for Canadians to defend themselves. It has already scrapped the so-called "long gun" registry, where law abiding citizens were forced to jump through hoops to register their rifles, shotguns, etc., at a cost of billions, while having zero affect on crime. Crooks, of course, didn't bother to register their guns.
Like I said, we have our problems. But we're not "backward" compared to the US of A, or any other country.
It's good to be a Canuckistanian :) as far as "lean finely textured beef" with "ammonia saturated connective tissue" goes.
But don't tell some of my friends who I have been scaring with real campfire stories about the scary pink slime and the other atrocities that they call food.
Ammonium Hydroxide. Mmmm.
Look, I'll eat a pigs ass, I don't care. But let's be honest, pink slime ain't just beef. It's trimmings off the floor and mop water.
And floor sweepings simmered in grease trap chitlins
Would you eat a can of cold fish assholes?
Can we talk punctuation here?
Is tha;
"...eat a can of fish assholes?
or
"...eat a can of fish, assholes?
I'm kinda betwixed and in between the two.
Yah! What they scrape off the floor! Gives me shivers thinking about it.
For the fuck's sake. At least watch "Food Inc" to see BPI's operation. Place looks like petrol plant - and they're "making food?!?!"

Well, just that Ammonia gas - for that lip-smackin' goodness.
I've been ranting about pork, turkey, chicken hotdogs for more than 20 years now. I like Vienna sausages AKA hotdogs(as long as they are beef) but the term hotdog has become generic in that as long as something resembles something it can be sold as something. I think the makers of, "pink slime" failed to recognize this concept and, "jumped the shark" of "substitution".
Sorry all my links are in my brain,i'm a ful time farmer and have been doing it well over thirty years,my earliest memories where watching animals come into this world in the middle of the night in the red glow of heat lamps.
I've taken post secondary on it,i am an actual farmer.
The boogey man is not genetically modifidied or animal sh#t or fertilizers.
It is chemicals,most are bad.
Herbicides and fungicides are not good but the real killer is called pesticides,most uneducated people ASSume all are the same...big mistake.
A certain amount of these technologies HAS to be used...period,or kiss a few billion people good bye,its on your conscience.
Unfortunatley,and i'm pretching to the choir,rational thinking has left the building.
Hoo-wee, try and stay sober when you post on ZH.
The boogey man is not genetically modifidied or animal sh#t or fertilizers.
Why do you say that? One of these things is not like the others...
Agreed. There is ample research out there that GMO is BAD, BAD, BAD....it just takes three decades to start showing its ill effects. I would suggest this farmer read "Seeds of Destruction" by Jeffrey Smith. Many whistleblower scientists have been threatened and wrongly slandered for speaking up. My family still owns small farms, and I talk to my mom about them all the time. At least our wheat crops are not GMO. Wish I could say that about the corn.
There is also evidence that a myth has been purported by big-agra that yield is lower with non-GMO. This simply is not true.
The problem is economists who have to financialize everything including our food. They teach substitution in economics as a route to profitability. Do you wonder why your grocers case is stocked full of pork, turkey, chicken hotdogs and it is hard to find real beef hotdogs? The ground pork turkey, chicken is stuff they were going to throw away any way. For a long time pork, turkey, chicken hotdogs were the same price as real beef ones . The problem is 90% of the bologna/hotdog section is loaded with pork, turkey, chicken shit and it is hard to find 100% beef hotdogs.
I used to have a rant about hotdogs, apple pie and baseball, don't get me started about baseball and apple pie!
The man said he's a farmer, not a grammatician. We have plenty of grammatical experts on the internets, they are practically flooded with them, but few farmers bother to post ... so let the man rant on....
Philly Farmer speaking for myself I would do anything to avoid buying or eating any GMO "food" For people who buy and eat processed food and wheat and soy they can eat whatever they want I don't care, but I don't like the idea that any GMO crap can be snuck into my diet without me knowing what it is.
And poop is great it is the best fertilizer! I believe in Germany all the farms are more mid-sized and not huge-scale agri-business farms, and they all use fresh cow poop as the fertilizer, they just dump it right on top the soil (from what I could tell)
That advanced meat recovery thing looks like a hell of a dick sucking device.

So...most Americans are composed of genetically modified dent corn?
Ironically, will fat America itself, terrified by concepts such a colored slime, be responsible for its own weening from some of the worst products on earth, and in the process raise the price of food, and force itself to eat less? Will the end of the "slimes" be the one savior of the massively underfunded US welfare state as America gets healthy and lean again?
They might at least consider re-learning how to grind meat themselves.

Note to knuckleheads who like to pick on old folks: I keep Pincus close by at all times. Trust me, you'll never know the difference between a load of #6 shot and 00buckshot from a .12g at close range. :)
Yeeeehawww!
There is no conceivable way that 320 million people in the US could be fed this way, so just shut up about it, okay?
You're off topic, no?
How about those who take the initiative to grab some land in areas where wild game is abundant, hone their hunting skills, and sensibly reap thy bounty?
Raise your own poultry, beef or whatever livestock you wish, and grow some vegetable perfection while you're at it.
Who says people have to eat Chicken Shitnuggets if they're willing to take that other, less traveled path?
Grab some land? Like this?

The deer are so thick, they need traffic lights.
And anything said has to be a valid solution for the hordes of urban useless?
I dont care how or even if they eat, most of em can have a heapin' helpin' of daily slime for all I care. The zombie consumers already shambling through the major metropolitan areas seem to enjoy it.
The most nutritious parts of an animal are the brains, liver, bones, (marrow), blood, bones, heart, and spleen. These contain all the Omega3 fatty acids, iron, glycogen, iron, and tons of other vitamins and other nutrients. The muscle has little nutrition outside of some protein. This is why predators will eat all the organs and leave the muscle for scavengers. I've observed this with lions in Africa, raptors, and pumas. Bears will preferentially eat the brains and skin of salmon and leave the muscle. Mankind used to know this and made hundreds of wonderful dishes from all the parts of the cow and sheep. Yumm sausage. We have abandoned this practice and now eat the meat and we're suffering from malnutrition. Look at our beloved dogs. IAMS took all the organs out of dogfood and all the others did likewise and now all our dogs are getting the same debilitating diseases as human: arthritis, mange, eczema, diabetes, and edemas.
Next time your old Uncle Tom from the Ozarks offers you a huge hunk of Head Cheese eat it with gusto!
Agreed. Chicken liver mousse with pears, salad, and a Graves Semillon. Cannot beat it!
Chicken liver mousse? I'm pretty sure I can beat that.
I'm pretty sure everything beats that.
how proper and civilized this photo looks.
I love chicken livers!
i'd seriously rather have a cheeseburger from McD than liver pate
hedgless, I'm shocked! this is a French recipy, according to my dear late grandmother that made the exact dish (without salad) - delicious.
Yes, all those "parts" that nowadays have become "yeach" were in the past either eaten or used for tasty sausages.
As a prepper I watched a video of a nice granola girl illustrating how to butcher a chicken just in case I ever need to know how. Part way through she shows the partially formed eggs and then sucks the contents out of them. Most of us would rather die. Amazing how squeamish we have become compared to say the Japanese.
My vet marvels at how healthy my dog is. He swallows a ground squirrel and a bit of sheep shit every day to supplement his diet.
I draw the line at partially formed chicks in the egg but had a girlfriend back in high school and her parents couldn't get enough of those chunky egg/chick thingies. Freaked me out the first time I saw them and eating them was something I have never done again. But if that was all that was available then bring it on. And served with a salad of arugula with an ant dressing (ants are tangy!) to cut through the 'richness' of the chick/eggy things it might not be half bad.
And my dogs eat mice with horse shit on the side every now and then.
Animal excrement contains a lot of vitamin B12. Eating shit is the only way many animals have for taking in adequate levels of B12. The B12 is manufactured in the lower intestine by bacteria. By the way. Don't eat liver unless it's from a young animal and it's organic. The liver concentrates all the toxins modern farm animals are fed.
Not too OT:

The Low Fat brigade was only right in context.
But wrong in reality.
Oh, and EEEEEWWWWWWW!!!!!!
If you've ever paid attention, the blood out of a grass fed ruminant is almost a deep maroon, almost purple. While I don't think you should necessarly poke a hole in the side of ole Bessy to really find out, it's interesting how this garbage is pink....not even red.
To defend logic...you are not comparing blood to blood.
we buy our beef in this part of ky from the farmer.black angus no drugs. grass fed 700 bucks last us .family of 5 about 9 months.we raise our produce and can. the orchards nice too
You all must realize that what we don't process and make good use of goes into the landfill don't you?
I love Hot Dogs, Bologna, Salami, etc. It is a tribute to - and respect for - the animal to use all you can. It gave it's life so the least we can do is not waste anything.
A better idea still is to not eat meat and not force the animal to give its life in the first place.
Those animals would never have had a life if not raised for food; they don't just spring from trees or clover.
I have canine teeth, I was meant to eat meat, make your own choices.
It's not the offal parts of the animal that are bad (although some should be eaten in moderation, like the liver, where the toxins of any animal/mammal are concentrated). It's the chemical and additives that are blended into the offal that make it hazardous to one's health in even small quantities.
Yeah, nothing says natural like factory processed tofu and soybean curd. I personally enjoy picking that stuff right off the plant, just like nature intended.
At least the tofu is aseptic, what with all the radioactive cesium and all.
When I was in grade school Native Americans were praised for "using all parts of the buffalo" vs. the evil Buffalo Bill's "Buffalo Halocaust".
Most fat people eat too many carbs, if they just stuck with pink slime and green fraken-vegetables their health would improve considerably.
After the Benank gets done you'll be starving and wishing you had $100 to pay for a Tyson pink slime cylinder wrapped in ConAgra yellow powder on a stick.
Stock up on non-perishables now. That doesn't mean cat food Spam or slime cylinders. Properly stored wheat berries last 30 years, for example.
Even a 3 month food store gets you 2 months and 28 days ahead of the curve of 98% of the rest of this country.
the Bernank can pry the bean bucket out of my cold, dead hands.
so if you eat wheat berries that are 30 years and a couple days old, will it taste funny?
With a collapse as long and boring as this one, I'll probably end up letting you know first hand.
Maybe a little. That's why you rotate your supplies, by eating what you store, and storing what you eat. And if Safeway was a burned out hulk, and Raley's was empty, you'd be pretty excited for a 5 gallon bucket of 30-year old wheat berries.
Euell Gibbons? I thought you were dead!!

We should go eat a cattail today, in rememberence...
Never forget that the buffalo were slaughtered wholesale to get the bounties placed on them by the Feds. They wanted the buffalo killed in order to starve out the Indians.
Shooting from the hip straight from the box cars. I remember the drawings of hundreds of acres of dead buffalo along the rail tracks. They were in my history text. I am 37. Good old days...? Damn that makes me feel old at 37! WTF?!?
I never saw that in person, and I'm younger than you, but I remember the scene from Dances With Wolves, with the field heaped with dead buffalo that had been apparently shot dead for their hides alone and left to rot.
It pissed me off to see that, if even in a movie, and I even temporarily forgot what a shitty actor Kevin Costner is.
he did say drawings
aahh lololol
Feed uncle Ben Shalom with green slime... ($ paper currency)
Genetically modified bovine protein extract makes a body good. Just look at that healthy crop of poontang, Amarca, we gots the purtyest goils with the smallest brains in the developed world and they likes to pump like crazy. Look at them nut crunching feminist, cross eyed, buck toofed and peppered up with moles, and they think like that tard in chief obama rama ding dong, now them bitchez need some MEAT, yours, not mine.
Genetically modified beef is not in production, but nice little rant you shared. Must hurt to be your brain.
Trash
ied's of the food world
Thanks for confirming the wisdom of consuming organic whenever you can...less (in this case) is more...
something else most people don't know about or understand, "meat glue":

Yep, glue together a bunch of "off-cuts"... roll them in meat glue and viola!... the finest French cuisine you can barf to.
