17. "I'll have a burger with fries, hold the amonia". Video I saw several years ago

that I no longer can find. Someone must have removed it. It showed the processing plant where they make the pink slime. If you could see what is coming down the conveyor belts, skin, great globs of fat, tissue, and other unmentionables. yuk! Then it goes into a processor, ammonia added, flash frozen and coming out in huge bricks. It's then shipped off to be added to the hamburger patties.
When you see a sudden outbreak of e-coli, it's usually because they have cut back on the ammonia due to customer complaints. This has been going on for some time now, just on a smaller scale.

So happy I'm a vegetarian.
