Safeway Wisely Decides to Remove Pink Slime Meat from Store Shelves
Safeway is the second largest grocery store chain in this country next to Kroger, so this is a major decision that supports the public outcry to put an end to the marketing of inferior meat made with Pink Slime.
Safeway Decides to Rid Store Shelves of Pink Slime
Thankyou, Safeway, you’ve made an excellent and responsible choice to remove the contaminated meat product from your stores.
Now…people who would have stopped shopping at Safeway will feel more comfortable buying meat from Safeway and the other stores that have wisely made this declaration.
I know that we feel better about Safeway at this moment.
Next, we – the Public consumers directly affected by inferior food products – need to force the school systems to refuse to use Pink Slime beef in the school lunch programs. It’s essential for our children’s health.
If your school district refuses to protect the health of your children; then remove them from that school and place them in a more educated learning environment!
Once the school districts realize that parents and advocates are serious about this, they will either change their policies or face a reduction in the local tax base that funds public schools. They can put Pink Slime in lunches; but what will they do when no children go to their schools as a direct result of their blindness to the care and feeding of our youth?
The most progressive private schools are developing healthy food programs with children participating in the cooking and food preparation as well as the growing of the food they eat in school gardens. This is the curriculum that will survive and thrive!
Pink Slime was originally meant to be used in dog food, so what does that tell you about the mindset of the inspectors and employees at the USDA and other federal regulatory agencies. They aren’t as concerned about health as they are about money. Pink Slime is a cheap additive that extends real beef inexpensively. That’s their goal…not the well-being of the consumer.
The regulators and administrators are looking primarily at monetary issues and would prefer to try to convince you that these inferior ‘trimmings’ are just dandy when that’s far from the truth. We’re not buying the lies and arguments and we are not buying the Pink Slime now that the cat is out of the bag.
First Pink Slime is taken off store shelves, then out of school lunch programs, then out of restaurants. Then we will feel that our food supply is safer and healthier for all concerned. If anyone is left to east the Pink Slime, let it be those who proclaim it is safe at the USDA and elsewhere. Watch them develop degenerative diseases, become obese, feel ill, and die as a result of consuming chemicals and inferior scraps of meat.
