This can be denied, but it is true.

What, exactly, do you think that NYT article says?

What do you think about this new expose, that our hamburger is injected with AMMONIA and the FDA mistakenly thought that adding ammonia to beef would kill all e.coli and salmonella.

Is this anything that 'low carb' diet afficianados should be concerned about???

Isn't ammonia .... a poisonous substance??

Represented by Dennis R. Johnson, a top lawyer and lobbyist for the meat industry, Beef Products prevailed on the question of whether ammonia should be listed as an ingredient, arguing that the government had just decided against requiring another company to list a chemical used in treating poultry.

School lunch officials said they ultimately agreed to use the treated meat because it shaved about 3 cents off the cost of making a pound of ground beef.“Several packers have unofficially raised concern regarding the use of the product since the perception of quality is inferior,” the 2002 memo said. “But will use product to obtain lower bid.”

In 2004, lunch officials increased the amount of Beef Products meat allowed in its hamburgers to 15 percent, from 10 percent, to increase savings. In a taste test at the time, some school children favored burgers with higher amounts of processed beef.

Beef Products does not disclose its earnings, but its reported production of seven million pounds a week would generate about $440 million in annual revenue, according to industry records.


I’ve read all 4 pages, and several related articles, have you?

The ammonia is mixed with dihydrogen monoxide.

Then they take the ammonia laced meat and place it in between two slices of  bread.

Ammonia is necessary for life. At the same time there can be too much of a good thing so there are limits ~

Back before chloro-fluoro-hydrocarbons ammonia was used in refrigeration systems. It was not unusual for it to come into contact with food.

As far as mixing it with hamburger made out of "scraps" I'm kind of concerned they're getting too much connective tissues in there ~

The ammonia is mixed with dihydrogen monoxide. Coincidence?

Certainly not.

Yes, and I summarized what I thought in post 10 above.

So, rather than cutting and pasting from the article, what do you think it means?

I love dashi ~ it's our basic fish-fertilizer, and it can go either way ~ it's a soup, it's a gardening aid.

Without it Japanese cooking would definitely be bland ~ just a bunch of raw fish and boiled rice.

Please don't tell me they add this in its bacteria-laced solid form, do they? Say it ain't so!

I think the point he is trying to make here is the FDA is declaring this Toxic Chemical using in house hold cleaning products as now being a safe food additive. The FDA is being very hypocritical here frankly, they are bought off just like the Pharmsueticals by off the CDC (and hire most of the CDC employees when they leave) in return for little favors. I’m sorry to have to tell you this, the FDA is corrupt. But why change the subject, you want to change the argument to why Mike Adams used the term Window Cleaning agent instead of just Ammonia? Sounds like somebody is in some real denial ...

Believe it or not, there is a point to be made about the dangers of Gluten. Point 6 in that list is actually true. Along with Diabetes and CVD.

Beef is pumped up with dihydrogen monoxide as well. Scary.

DHMO is some pretty nasty stuff. I was reading on some web site that it is in EVERY stream, brook, river, pond and lake in the world. That stuff is just evil.

I was asking about the point of the NYT article, which is the basis for the Natural Times article.

So, after reading the 4 page article on the NYT website, what do you think was the main point?
