yes! I saw this the other day on the huffington post, I really thought OMG..this has got to be a hoax..this could not be real, and look at it..pink? looks like a picture of some styrofoam, or some sort of blob that is made of plastic..just so yuck! Is this what hot dogs are made of too, they do list mechanical parts of this and that..and this picture shows it is washed with ammonia..very disturbing for sure..No more will I buy mechanically separated meat, I will not buy processed chicken tenders..that's it, this just turns my stomach...From: Joyce Hudson <bjoyful@...>Subject: [health] This process is used for too much of our foods."Natural Health and Living" <health >Date: Tuesday, October 5, 2010, 8:48 AM

The photo above has been extensively passed around recently, and for good reason: it's a peek into the rarely-seen world of mechanically separated meat, or Advanced Meat Recovery (AMR).

Someone figured out in the 1960s that meat processors can eek out a few more percent of profit from chickens, turkeys, pigs, and cows by scraping the bones 100% clean of meat. This is done by machines, not humans, by passing bones leftover after the initial cutting through a high pressure sieve. The paste you see in the picture above is the result.

There's more: because it's crawling with bacteria, it will be washed with ammonia... Then, because it tastes gross, it will be reflavored artificially. Then, because it is weirdly pink, it will be dyed with artificial color. But, hey, at least it tastes good, right?

High five, America!

The resulting paste goes on to become the main ingredient in many of America's favorite mass-produced and processed meat-like foods and snacks: bologna, hot dogs, salami, pepperoni, Slim Jim-like jerkys, and of course the ever-polarizing chicken nugget, where the paste from the photo above was likely destined.

UPDATE, 10/4/10: The story has been amended to reflect that although mass produced chicken nuggets at large may contain mechanically separated chicken, Mc's famous McNuggets no longer do contain "mechanically separated poultry as defined by the federal government. The USDA now requires foods with mechanically separated poultry to be labeled as containing "mechanically separated chicken or turkey" in their ingredients lists.

Additionally, although "mechanically separated meat" may apply to turkey, chicken and pork, due to concerns over BSE, the federal government has held since 2004 that mechanically separated beef "is considered inedible and is prohibited for use as human food."

Sometimes I'm asking myself how people can work there? Yes to have an income but ...............

why don't we hear more about such practices? Must persons working there keeping their mouth? It really do me bit thinking about a very old film with Newman where they made green pills. I don't remember the name of it as it must have been more then 35 years ago but still at that time, you should say they didn't got the message.

Also remember me that when I visited Minnesota in 79 by family, my mom and me saw there for the first time decorationproducts for food who were blue. We asked if it was save as normally nothing has that colour.

All those info is really giving you less pleasure in food from industry.

I think it was "Soy Green".

Actually, it out more now than ever, thanks to the internet. There are books, but most people don't want to buy them, if they were interested.

The media is controlled. Money is power and power is control.

are you referring to the movie called Soylent Green, this is with Charlton Heston..http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soylent_Greencame out in 1973..I watched this one with my parents when it came out..about how the cities are so populated that they take their seniors and make "food" out of them..Well I do have a vivid memory of this movie, I remember that the star of the movie, was in a room that showed beautiful pictures and then they would die some how, and then they would be turned into "Soylent Green" food for the living...really twisted sci fi...We don't hear so much of this because corporations would go broke, people would be sick about how their food

is processed, I believe that corporations rather deny their practices rather than fess up to it, or even go to great lengthens to shut whistle blowers up.I remember about 15 yrs ago, one of my friends told me that KFC..Kentucky fried chicken used chickens that were headless that they farmed headless chickens, I said no way, that is ridiculous, but now that I have seen this picture of how processed meat turns out in our food chain, I am not so surprised, or shocked at the moment.Yes, people don't speak up because then they would loose their jobs, or perhaps they signed a contract not to speak about what they see..So buying your meat fresh and not in a frozen package would be the way to go these days, you can see what you are buying, perhaps even chop meat you can take a step further and buy a meat grinder like they used to do in the "good ol' days" way back in my grandmother's

generation. Michele
