In reply to the discussion: "Pink slime" ire prompts key producer to close plants [View all]Doremus
(7,261 posts)9. Not sure pink slime is responsible for that.
Salmonella, e-coli and other pathogens in ground meat put the kibosh to under-done hamburgs.
I would attribute it to the stunningly filthy conditions at feedlots and slaughter houses, where cattle stand in their own excrement and are literally covered with it prior to slaughter.
The few cents/lb. it would cost to provide more sanitary conditions is better placed in the pockets of the oligarchy, of course.
