Almost everyone has heard about pink slime or seen the unsavory videos of it being made in factories. So what is pink slime and is it really that bad for you? Pink slime, as it's been fondly nicknamed is actually left over beef mixed with chemicals for sterilization. Funny enough, it depends on who you ask about the health drawbacks of pink slime. Most large industries seem to all agree, this "pink slime" isn't that bad but as you know large industries value their profit margins over the health of their clients. Many people have accused McDonalds of being on of these titans of industry that use pink slime, a claim they continue to deny. But regardless of who uses and who doesn't we as people all need to stop and think how the foods we eat affect our bodies. We live in a day and age where convenience is king, people want what they want and they want it now. But that's not how the earth works, things take time to grow and can't always grow in certain conditions. It's sad to think that our own demand for bigger, cheaper products has lead us to this, pink slime.
