"Pink slime," or "lean finely textured beef," is the food that just won't go away—in the media or from our plates, in a lot of places. But should we really be upset? Some don't think so—and they're not just the "Beefstate Governors" that Stephen Colbert mocked earlier this week. Many are defending the processed meat product as completely safe and reasonably nutritious; others are mostly arguing that, well, it's gross. But despite some fairly salient arguments in favor of keeping the slime (or "LFTB") in our food system (that it's a more efficient use of resources, giving the environment and our economy a boost), I don't think that opponents are just being "snooty" and ignoring facts. Because there's still reason to be concerned about putting this stuff in our bodies. More »Post from: Blisstree
