Entry #9 Pink Slime

 
The pink slimy thing there  is meat believe it or not. McDonald's one of the most popular fast food chains in the world used this to make their hamburgers and chicken nuggets. This pink slime consist of  discarded meat that has been grinded. McDonald's has not used this "meat" since 2012 but the only reason was because the public found out and was disgusted. And what amazes me the most is that it's ok for companies to do this here in the U.S, Even other McDonald's in other countries weren't doing this because its not allowed. 
Although McDonald's as well as other companies have said they will no longer use this pink slime some say that the pink slime will make a comeback due to increase in demand of beef. Not only is this pink slime  gross I am now asking myself what elses companies are hiding from consumers. Companies were willing to use and sell this product until the public became aware of it they are probably doing the same with other foods just because its cheaper for them.
