It says 75% beef, !!!25% fat!!!. IT’S ON the LABEL. Hello!

I'm not talking about your label. I was talking about what percentage of "pink slime" is in ground beef that contains "lean, finely textured beef" product. The answer is approximately 25% or less. You have no idea what you are even talking about. You seem to think you've been buying "lean, finely textured beef" product (aka pink slime) as a stand alone product. You have not been. It is an additive, a filler, something mixed into the ground beef made the old fashion way. The stuff is 90-94% lean anyway. Any "tube" of ground beef that is 75% lean couldn't possibly be "lean, finely textured beef" product even if they sold it that way (which they don't).

You’re quoting MSNBC and expecting any credence? LOLOL!!!

Your wrong and you are either too dense to realize it or won't admit it. You've now rejected the Christian Science Monitor, Wikipedia, MSNBC, and it is obvious that you will not accept any link I give you as evidence that you are completely incorrect and simply don't understand the issue. I could have pulled any of 100 stories from CNN, FOX, or anywhere else explaining that "lean, finely textured beef" product is a filler, an additive, something ground beef "contains". It is not a stand alone product. When it is added to ground beef, "lean, finely textured beef" only makes up about 25% (at most) of the final product.

Enjoy your Grain Fed Beef.

Thank you, I will. Enjoy your "lean, finely textured beef" product filler while you can still get it. Though it does look to me like the public has rejected it and it will go back to being used exclusively in dog/animal feed.

Holy crap! I just got a chance to read through this thread and your a loon. The tubes of beef you are buying are not tubes of lean textured beef, aka pink slime. You are buying tubes of ground beef that has pink slime added to it. The pink slime is made from trimmings that used to go to animal food production, but now some chemicals are added to it that are capable of killing E. coli. BPI was able to get the gubmint to approve of the pink slime as beef so that they do not have to put it on the label. This is a conservative sight and we generally question our government when they make such decisions. If it’s so good, why did they get double secret permission to label it a different name from what it is? If it is so good, why not tell the world the amazing story of pink slime and how awesome it is at preventing E. coli?

So to recap: You are not buying a tube, or any container shape, of pink slime. You are buying ground beef that has this added to it.
