McDonald’s stops use of ammonium hydroxide “pink slime” in hamburgers
Up until a few months ago, this pink slime was used in hamburger patties at McDonald's restaurants across the U.S.
If one of your New Year’s resolutions was to stop eating fast food (or to stop eating as much), the photo above might help keep you motivated.
The pink foamy substance is ammonium hydroxide, a chemical made of ammonia and water that’s used to kill bacteria, and most commonly found in household cleaning products and fertilizers. Up until a few months ago, it was a product also found in hamburger meat at McDonald’s restaurants across the U.S.
Earlier this week, the fast food company released a statement saying that it no longer used “select lean beef trimmings” soaked in ammonium hydroxide. A representative for McDonald’s also stated that the elimination of ammonium hydroxide from its processed meat had nothing to do with a nearly year-long campaign launched by celebrity chef Jamie Oliver against the use of the chemical additive in foods.
On an episode of Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution, the British chef demonstrated how inedible beef scraps could be rendered into hamburger meat with the use of a “pink slime”. He also claimed that this “slime” was currently being used in a variety of foods including meat, bread and cake products, and school cafeteria dishes. Ammonia hydroxide is “generally recognized as safe” by the U.S. Agriculture Department.
McDonald’s restaurant’s use of ammonium hydroxide has only reportedly been used in its beef patties in the U.S. According to the list of product ingredients on the McDonald’s Canada website, hamburger patties in Canada contain 100 percent beef only.

The better question is WHY exactly do our thoroughly corrupt filthy politicians feel it necessary to protect us from something LIKE marijuana, while allowing THIS type of poisoning to even enter the food chain?
Quick answer...citizen is another term for branded slave and they aren't a threat to these immoral creatures, globalist corporations are?
It must be nice to simply declare allegiance to foreign corporations and sell your own people out as cattle with little more than some excuse called ideology spouted by creepy white trash punks mumbling about Cuba or some senile old welfare recipient discussing suiciding 'undesirables'.
Mayor McCheese would be spinnin in his grave if he knew about this McGoo.

Your OBESE Fast Food Bastard...:)
Actually, I expected it to be backwards. Reality would be GRAY, in a cartoon it would be pink.
