We could do something crazy and let the market decide. Include it on labeling and consumers can choose what they want.

That is exactly what happened. Private citizens pitched a fit and pink slime was taken out of some products. Those who put pink slime in their products do not put it on the label because they are not legally bound to do so. That is because they got the gubmint to allow them to call pink slime beef. You will never see it on a label.

Yeah, there goes a relatively cheap ground beef option.

You have pretty much described exactly what has transpired. Enough people contacted their grocers and wam bam thank you ma’am, it’s off the shelf. The market in action.

I confess that once I received the meat grinding attachment for my Kitchen Aid mixer, I’ve been grinding my own anyway.

The market already had decided. The problem is the American people are kind of squeamish and when they find out how their food actually get to the table their usual reaction is horror.
