      We had a similar problem in the UK some years back: only ours was called "Turkey Twizzlers" They were removed after a big campaign, and what happened? Healthy foods were rejected by some parents who insisted on feeding burger and fries through the school fence... :sigh:

        I wouldn't call that meat. It may have been near meat once, perhaps seen it from across the room, but that ain't meat.

            That is what happen when your only criteria for "quality" is price. It applies to much of the junk that people buy; they buy cheap and complain after that it breaks more easily or does not work as expected. And the decline of "main street" economy in profit of ultra-mega-mart centers... where all human interaction (for customer service) is removed from the equation.

                  Too bad some people have nothing better to worry about. It appears that the writer succeeded in appealing to emotion, rather than presenting any real information. The only actual information I could find in the article indicated the main concern was bacterial contamination that had been found and never made it to school lunches. That's bad? That's the purpose of inspections! If you followed the previous stories on this, the reason the fast food places stopped using it was due to public emotional outcry. It had more to do with perception and marketing than with anything unhealthy. Protein is usually protein. Heaven forbid that they actually might wash it in dihydrogen oxide!

                      It makes me wonder who in the freak said "Hey!!! Taste this....." "I know! Right... Great addition to our vanilla flavoring" Other person: "Sooooo what is it?". "Don't ask" ;)

                            I try to get mostly fresh foods. Although I do get the packaged stuff from lean quizine, morning star, and smart ones. I have a friend of mine who double checks all the ingredient lists to make sure I'm not eating preservatives, additives, etc. I definately don't eat out. This just supports my reasoning.

                              No, I don't eat ice cream. I don't have many things by way of "treats" at all. I put in a reply above that I have someone double check the ingredients on things that I eat that are not fresh. Turns out lots of things you don't know are in things we eat normally... like jello having horse parts in it, etc. Can never be too careful these days. I'm sure there are things that I am missing, but I think overall I do a pretty good job of watching what goes into my body.

                                I don't eat at fast food places anyway. I know that it's not good for me, regardless of what is put in it. I have no emotions invested in it, it's just another form of junk put in food that we buy.

                                  I love hamburgers, but after reading about this garbage a couple weeks ago, I bought my own meat grinder. I'll never trust supermarket ground "beef" again. Just to be clear. Pink slime has a -high- risk of contamination. They wouldn't douse it in ammonia otherwise. Such a "product" is totally revolting (the slime, not the ammonia). What is the possible contamination? Cow manure. Beef, not. Protein, not. Yum, elephanting not. -- Ian

                                    Yeah some of the things are insane. Its mind boggling really. And the regulations are a bit nutz as well. Crushed up beatles are used for food coloring... "Natural Food Coloring" by FDA standards... Well I guess its natural. But still. Gross. I try not to think about it. I watch what I eat somewhat but I am not "anal" (haha.. beaver) about it. The only way to know for sure is grow it and raise it yourself. And I am not about to do that. Its unfortunate how complicated the food industry has gotten but at the same time I can always get strawberries at the supermarket. Yep, I am quite certain they were sprayed to all heck with pesticides and had the seeds genetically engineered to have a longer shelf life. But I want me strawberries in the mid of winter. So the ogranic nazis can elephant themselves. There is not nor will there ever be enough supply for everything to be "Truely Natural" (one should not have to define natural... But I think you know what I mean here)

                                      I love hamburgers, but after reading about this garbage a couple weeks ago, I bought my own meat grinder. I'll never trust supermarket ground "beef" again. Just to be clear. Pink slime has a -high- risk of contamination. They wouldn't douse it in ammonia otherwise. Such a "product" is totally revolting (the slime, not the ammonia). What is the possible contamination? Cow manure. Beef, not. Protein, not. Yum, elephanting not. -- Ian

                                      So, can I assume you've never spent much time on a farm or ranch where the stuff comes from in the first place? And what is so revolting about NH3? It's a gaseous substance used as household cleanser, among other things. It's long evaporated by the time anything gets used, which is why it is used to sanitize kitchens, etc. Actually you probably don't want to know where urea comes from and how it is used in agriculture, food processing and industry. And heaven forbid that you investigate all the stuff that goes into perfumes.

                                        No, I don't eat ice cream. I don't have many things by way of "treats" at all. I put in a reply above that I have someone double check the ingredients on things that I eat that are not fresh. Turns out lots of things you don't know are in things we eat normally... like jello having horse parts in it, etc. Can never be too careful these days. I'm sure there are things that I am missing, but I think overall I do a pretty good job of watching what goes into my body.

                                        Actually it rarely has horse parts in it, because more likely it's made from pigs, cattle or fish, as is all gelatin. Even the gelatin that goes into gummybears and marshmallows.

                                        Gelatin Ingredients[^]:

                                        Collagen is one of the chief ingredients of gelatin. Collagen is a scleroprotein found in the bone, cartilage and tendons of animals. When animal bones or tissues are boiled, the collagen in the bone yields gelatin. Hence, getting straight to the point, you should know that gelatin can be obtained only from animal tissues. There is a widespread misconception that gelatin is obtained from horse hooves, which is incorrect. Horse hooves or bones are never used in the production process of gelatin. Tissues of pigs, cattle and fish are prominently used in order to obtain gelatin.

                                          When I read this[^] I don't eat meat, and havent for some time now. But I used to, and I still almost vromitted.

                                          Dammit! Now I know why my cat’s food is so expensive. The little buggers at schools eat all the stuff thus increasing the demand!
