Tuna Scrape: The Food Safety Risk Lurking in Supermarket Sushi - Polidicks

[QUOTE=yawmwen;35877772] Also, I have no idea how not buying ground beef contributes to slaughtering more cows but I guess it might make sense in some sort of fantasy world that you guys live in.[/QUOTE] Right, so you have this cow here, you kill it and strip it of the nornal meat. Mm lots of delicious steak, but there's quite a large portion of meat left on, might as well use it, shouldn't we? If 4 cows pink slime could account to another cows normal meat, thats quite a lot of extra meat being produced hence not as many cows needed to be slaughtered. It's a shame you didn't even attempt to work it out, it's not exactly difficult

[QUOTE=Sanius;35878088]like I said earlier you're objectively a bad person people like you who bitched about "pink slime" are why major markets have pulled beef which was made with lftb. hundreds of millions of cows have to be raised and slaughtered in order to make up for it if you don't see why you're a terrible person idk what to say[/QUOTE] "Everyone should eat ground beef or they're a bad person" - Sanius I'm a better person than you if you don't see why idk what to say.

[QUOTE=yawmwen;35878906]"Everyone should eat ground beef or they're a bad person" - Sanius [/QUOTE] are we even reading the same thread or are you deliberately assuming what I'm posting without actually reading any of my posts

[QUOTE=Sanius;35878955]are we even reading the same thread or are you deliberately assuming what I'm posting without actually reading any of my posts[/QUOTE] No you just post without thinking so you have no idea what you're talking about. Brotip: It makes you look like an idiot.

[QUOTE=yawmwen;35878970]No you just post without thinking so you have no idea what you're talking about. Brotip: It makes you look like an idiot.[/QUOTE] so does purposely misconstruing the meaning of my posts in order to make dumb jokes

[QUOTE=Sanius;35878991]so does purposely misconstruing the meaning of my posts in order to make dumb jokes[/QUOTE] Oh not as bad, and I never misconstrued your post. You said exactly that when you said I am an objectively bad person for not eating ground beef or ammonia soaked beef.

[QUOTE=yawmwen;35878906]"Everyone should eat ground beef or they're a bad person" - Sanius I'm a better person than you if you don't see why idk what to say.[/QUOTE] That's not close to what he said. You're really struggling with reading comprehension right now so I suggest you calm down and re-read through everyone's posts with a level head.

[QUOTE=yawmwen;35878906]"Everyone should eat ground beef or they're a bad person" - Sanius I'm a better person than you if you don't see why idk what to say.[/QUOTE] God damn are you like, 5?

[QUOTE=yawmwen;35879003]Oh not as bad, and I never misconstrued your post. You said exactly that when you said I am an objectively bad person for not eating ground beef or ammonia soaked beef.[/QUOTE] No we're saying you're a bad person for rejecting a perfectly good PART of ground beef. If you don't eat ground beef at all noone gives a fuck, but if you do at least be fucking efficient

If you don't eat ground beef at all noone gives a fuck, but if you do at least be fucking efficient[/QUOTE] There are a lot of reasons not to eat ground beef, the "pink slime" shit is just one of many things that disgusts me about it. I mean no one gets mad at people who don't eat beef liver or heart, because that shit is nasty to many people. I don't eat a certain part(s) of the cow and I'm a fucking pariah?

It's like you eat corn on the cob but think when it's off the cob that it's an abomination and noone should eat it ever.

[QUOTE=Tacosheller;35879560]The pink slime isn't anything different from beef.

Is it really that big of a deal that people prefer food a different way? [editline]8th May 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Zang-Pog;35879543]Are you seriously this thick? Have you not understood a single thing they have said to you or are you just acting stupid by now?[/QUOTE] Actually they are all acting stupid but ok keep deluding yourself bud.

[QUOTE=yawmwen;35879629]Some people don't like corn that way either, and some people don't like cream corn. Is it really that big of a deal that people prefer food a different way?[/QUOTE] It is when said "different way" results in a massive waste of spare cow parts and more cows end up having to be slaughtered to make up for it. Not to mention all the people who are now jobless because nobody wants to eat Finely Textured Beef anymore because it's "icky".

[editline]8th May 2012[/editline] Actually they are all acting stupid but ok keep deluding yourself bud.[/QUOTE] Already said if you don't want to eat beef I don't give a fuck, and that's not even the argument we're trying to make. And creamed corn still uses all of the corn. Beef without "pink slime" is just wasteful.

Can someone explain what was actually bad about pink slime? I mean, all I've ever heard was "It's called PINK SLIME!!! It MUST be bad! Look how icky it looks!"

[QUOTE=Tacosheller;35879560]The pink slime isn't anything different from beef. It's like you eat corn on the cob but think when it's off the cob that it's an abomination and noone should eat it ever.[/QUOTE] Actually, it's more like if people liked corn on the cob, but then they heard that a lot of corn producers sprayed their corn with a harmless pesticide, and decided to stop buying corn sprayed with that pesticide, even though the only thing that does is waste corn.

How does it cause more cows to be slaughtered anyways? Last I checked "pink slime" was still legal so it isn't like you can't buy the shit. This argument seems akin to saying "Don't go vegetarian otherwise all those cows we killed will go to waste!" which is an asinine argument anyways.

This argument seems akin to saying "Don't go vegetarian otherwise all those cows we killed will go to waste!" which is an asinine argument anyways.[/QUOTE] Pink slime keeps fresher cleaner for longer, therefore more pink slime meat is actually bought because it stays fresh for longer.

[QUOTE=J!NX;35880901] Pink slime keeps fresher cleaner for longer, therefore more pink slime meat is actually bought because it stays fresh for longer.[/QUOTE] So you changed your mind then? You're not slaughtering tons of cows?

[QUOTE=yawmwen;35880927]So you changed your mind then? You're not slaughtering tons of cows?[/QUOTE] no, it makes meat last longer if meat expires sooner, you need to kill more cows to replace that unused meat. If you use pink slime to let it last longer, [B]more people get more meat, from less cows[/B]

[QUOTE=yawmwen;35880927]So you changed your mind then? You're not slaughtering tons of cows?[/QUOTE] The longer the meat lasts the fewer cows that need to be slaughtered, but that's not why that was said. Pink slime allows producers to use more of the cow, so fewer cows need to be slaughtered to produce the same amount of meat.

[QUOTE=J!NX;35880943]no, it makes meat last longer if meat expires sooner, you need to kill more cows to replace that unused meat. If you use pink slime to let it last longer, [B]more people get more meat, from less cows[/B][/QUOTE] Oh, I see. But that's giving the corporations and farms absolutely no credit. A corporation isn't going to buy more meat then it thinks it can sell, because that is a waste of profit. A farmer isn't going to slaughter more cows than he thinks he can sell, because that is a waste of profit. A cow is actually a fairly valuable piece of property, you don't slaughter it willy nilly. Of course there is waste of meat, there is waste of meat whether it's pink slime or not. I would like you to get me a source that explains that pink slime actually involves less cow slaughter due to less waste.

Pink slime allows producers to use more of the cow, so fewer cows need to be slaughtered to produce the same amount of meat.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure the parts of the cow used for ground beef are used regardless of whether they get sold to us or not. Aren't the bits from ground beef used in dog food and cow feed anyways? It isn't like they won't find another use for it.

I thought you meant waste as in the food will go bad, not waste as in beef consumption staying the same and using less cow, which totally holds to reason. Although, I am a bit apprehensive considering the numbers come straight from the beef industry. Anyways, it makes me feel good that I avoid ground beef anyways.
