Solyent Pink

Posted on 12:24 by amla
Vegans have it easy.
"Pink slime" is the by-products of cattle butchery infused with poison (ammonia gas) and mixed into an extruded slurry that looks remarkably like strawberry yogurt. It is then infused into ground beef to make cheap hamburger. Defenders like Sam Brownback and Rick Perry want the press to use the fictitious term "finely textured beef."
Which would make Solyent Green "finely textured human" and sound pretty damn sophisticated.
They say people shouldn't stop eating this shit just because they find it disgusting lest profits for the massive (and massively evil) multi-national corporation Cargill suffer. They slyly avoid the fact this stuff used to be thrown out as trash and insist it is a perfectly eatable food-like substance. They also avoid noting that Cargill has its own PAC to bribe politicians.
