Mmmmmm.... Pink slime for lunch!

Lean finely textured beef, made by Beef Products Inc., shown before packaging.
"I brought a sandwhich from home!"
"I bought a salad!"
"I bought the sketchy new meat made with who-knows-what parts of an animal!"
Sadly, this is a true statement at many schools across the country. Meat companies are attempting to get away with passing off meat scraps grounded together into pink rolls as actual ground beef. This has certain companies to close many of the plants where this crap is produced, due to (justified) consumer backlash. But meat packing companies claim that their means of production aren't that different from how meat companies ussually ground beef. Now, I've always been of the mindset of meat that eat it and don't ask questions where it came from, as long as it tastes good. But i've been suspicious of how the school chicken patties look, as they look more sketchy. But that doesn't stop me, I have one every week, as Shen claims they don't use it. But, come on, it all goes to the same place.
