Earth Day is perfect for checking out some of the unique features of the USA. We traveled around the US for nearly 6 weeks and more than 10,000 miles an found an amazingly diverse and beautiful country.
Sadly as is much of our Earth, the USA is also facing huge challenges as the environment takes a back seat to momentary monetary opportunities. The environment is the most valuable asset we have so preserving it is a no brainier.
You are what we eat, so if you eat a lot of hamburger, 'ground beef' than you are made up of - "Fat, sinew, bloody effluvia, and bits of meat." Oh, and ammonia.
This slop was sold primarily as PET food ten years ago, but not now. Some low life found a way to make the rejected fat, sinew, bloody effluvia, and occasional bits of meat cut from carcasses in the slaughterhouse into 'people food'. So we are supplementing our diet with GARBAGE.
Beef Products Inc. of South Dakota transforms trimmings into something they call 'boneless lean beef.' In huge factories, the company liquefies the trimmings and uses a spinning centrifuge to separate the sinews and fats from the meat, leaving a mash that has been described as 'pink slime', which is then frozen into small squares and sold as a low-cost additive to hamburger."
"BPI produces more than 7 million pounds of the mash per week, making it the world's largest manufacturer of this frozen product. BPI explains that its product is mixed into most of the ground beef sold in the U.S. - at major fast-food restaurants, supermarkets, and school lunch programs."
