Pink Slime Article reading response


This article is about how schools and fast food restaurants put ‘Pink slime’ into their foods. ‘Pink slime’ is a meat byproduct approved by the USDA. The problem is that it is considered very unhealthy. People are angry with the USDA because they are allowing unhealthy meat filler to be served in restaurants and schools, ending up in the stomachs of consumers. The Author is trying to inform anyone who is eating this stuff what he or she are eating; which everyone has a right to know.

I liked reading this article and didn’t like reading the article for a number of different reasons. I didn’t like the fact that I now know what’s in the burgers that I have been eating for so long. But I liked this article for that same reason. Now I also know not to eat that stuff anymore. This article got me thinking. If they put pink slime in their burgers... what do they put in their French fries? Or in their taco meat? Or even the milk cartons? And what about all of the fast food restaurants? What is in their food? After reading this article I know one thing for sure… no more McDonalds for me!
