We can try to be as safe as we can and make all the right food choices but sometimes they make it so hard for us to do. I eat on a strict lean diet of eating only chicken breast, fish, turkey breast, frozen veggies, and brown rice/pasta. I've always loved beef but after this, the ground up meet is soooo questionable now. Watch how the cut and process our beef! By the time the cow gets to your table, it's not really beef.

    To be honest, you shouldn't be surprised that McDonald's uses the lowest quality meats. How else could they sell burger patties for $1? I don't know if it is available around you, but many stores in my area (mostly independent grocers and Whole Foods) grind their own beef in house. A whole cut of meat goes through the grinder and that is your final product. No pink slime.

    And that's why I'm so darn thankful to know farmers - I get a cow processed every year. I know where it's from, how it was raised and what it was fed on.....and it feeds my family all year long.

    No not really surprised but for them to poor ammonia in it calling it cleaning processes and then we consume that is what surprised me. We wonder why we so ill. smh... And now I'd have to watch them grind up my turkey at the local market because I don't know what their trying to add so they can save money.
