Blog Entry #9: Pink Slime

For this week's video, Pink Slime, we saw something that looks like it came from a horror film.
In the video, we are shown while the news anchors or whatever they were explained what McDonald's had been using to make their burger and chicken nuggets. The pink slime that I keep mentioning looks like one of those worm-looking-animals from the movie King Kong. 

This is the worm

While this is a more extreme example of what was actually portrayed, the actual pink slime is very similar. 

Pink slime from McDonald's

There's really not much of a difference when you look at both of these images, I mean after all they do have one thing in common, they're both deadly. That's right, DEADLY!

The reason the pink slime is dangerous to your health is because of the cleansers they use the disinfect and kill the bacteria in the meat. According to the news-anchors, it was Ammonium Hydroxide that was used to clean the meat. 

In case what you were wondering just what Ammonium Hydroxide can do to you if digested click the link below and read about it.  http://www.naturalnews.com/035517_pink_slime_ammonium_hydroxide_burgers.html

Thankfully they have completely stopped using said chemical to disinfect the "meat" i'm not sure what they're using now, but luckily I stopped eating there years ago. Hopefully this changed your view on McDonalds.
