    Please ask your local supermarked if THEY use pink slime too - Most do. Safeway, Weis, Giant, SuperWalmart, BJ's, Costco ... all of them mix it in. A group of us went to our local private-owned market and asked if they used it (they did) and then asked them to stop (they did). They ran an ad in the local paper two weeks ago advertising no pink slime and said the feedback has been so positive they will not use it any longer. So glad we had the local option.

    This is one of the reasons I am happy I am a hunter. I know my hamburgers are 100% fresh venison with no added anything.

    We purchase our meat on the hoof, know how it is raised and it is processed by a local butcher shop. We are very picky when it comes to our food products.

    I have bought local grass fed beef from a meat market for a couple of years now. I never bought it out of fear of what is in the meat at the grocery store I buy it because it tastes better. My brother in law has even commented when he comes to our house that now he gets good burger. I used to buy a half a cow at a time but with the price of beef so high and not wanting to eat so much beef I have quit doing that.

    And unfortunately we can only go "shopping" two weeks a year =)

    I always keep telling myself to learn the bow, but I never get around to it. Right on regarding fish.
