"HOUSTON - Governor Rick Perry joined governors from four other states to express support for the so-called “pink slime”, the processed beef-filler that has received so much negative attention in recent weeks.
The food industry calls the product “lean finely-textured beef,” and it’s been in use for decades. But the process of killing bacteria by exposing the meat to ammonia-hydroxide is enough make people wonder how healthy it is.
Houston dietician Ali Miller says every bite is a virtual science experiment.
“The USDA likes to claim it's 100 percent beef,” Miller said. “It does come from a cow but when we think of beef, we don't think of ground collagen, possible contaminants from organ tissue, and then some lean meat that was hydrolyzed with a heat process.” "
