That Oliver Guy Had Nothing to Do With It!

Funny, they never mention ammonium hydroxide in their commercials!

If you buy ground beef in a grocery store, particularly the stuff on sale that's not ground on site and comes in those big chubbies, or premade patties made in a factory, in all likelihood you're eating pink slime. The majority of all industrial strength ground beef and a significant amount of ground poultry products contain it. Since Cargill got spanked over adding offal into animal feed, they had to figure out what to do with all the SLAUGHTER WASTE to make it legally edible by humans. Dumping ammonia on it to kill all the germs seemed like a good idea at the time. Presto, more profits!
Any kind of mechanically separated and reformed or ground meat product is likely to contain ammoniated offal that is otherwise deemed unfit for human consumption by the USDA. It's mind boggling that people are OK with this.

I guarantee you there's not a bit of pink slime in Berry Hill Farm ground.

I'm not "OK with this", I simply avoid eating industrial meat.

If I want ground meat, then I run it through my hand crank meat grinder.

Stupid people eat anything; that's how people who eat from MalWart look like they do.

Makes me wonder about the loaf of scrapple I ate last week, since it's basically just offal and cornmeal.

GOOD Offal!

USDA inspected offal.

Seriously, other cultures use everything but the moo, why not us?

On the surface, there's no reason at all. But there are parts of a steer, as you know, that are legally classed as unfit for human consumption. In order to sell those parts to humans, Cargill invented pink slime. That's why not us. Mexican beef doesn't bother me, as long as it's muscle cuts; steaks and roasts, any more than U.S. grocery store beef bothers me. Buying factory ground beef is just plain dumb as far as I'm concerned. Even if you buy store beef, you can still grab a good looking roast and have the butcher grind it for you. Often times when roasts are on sale you can get better ground beef for less money than what's already ground in the case. No matter though. It's all poison. I'm a big offal fan. We eat tongue, eyes, all organs, grill the intestines, kidneys, cheeks, you name it. I wouldn't touch the same parts from a grocery store.

Good question! We no longer eat like our long gone relatives, but more like the aristocracy of that age. However, there's a growing trend of "snout to tail" among talented chefs and restaurants.

The aristocracy supposedly ate "high on the hog" because they got first pickin's where the serf didn't but there's no real proof that was the case and, in fact, the phrase doesn't appear in Chaucer or other contemporary writer's works.

I believe this new 'snout to tail' trend is an outcome of Bourdain and others making entertainment out of traveling around the world and eating weird stuff.

I suspect a good part of why plains Indians had dogs was to eat the excess and unwanted parts of the buffalo, which was probably large after a successful hunt, and sort of serve as a protein savings account, to be withdrawn in times of scarcity.

Odd that not long ago beef were being fed ground up beef and sheep offal to increase protein production. We'd have been much better off raising carnivores for consumption and feeding them all of that stuff wholesale.
