Oxymoron Diaries | Pink Slime. Okay, again, I realize you are probably scratching your heads. But again, just think about it. When the word "slime" pops into your head, do you usually picture it PINK? I don't. More like infectious green, or yellow-ish or brown. Or that dark purple that bruises turn into. Get the picture? Definitely not PINK!
I'm sort of ticked off about the whole thing actually, so I am not even going into the details of this secret addition, aka intrusion, to our diets. The rant might go on for days.
Okay, okay, you made me do it. It's simple. I don't want that crap in my burgers. In fact, from what I've read, if pink slime is included, there very well could be a higher incidence of actual CRAP in my burgers!
Now I know why, when I use to grind my own beef, it was bright red and stayed that same bright red for a year in the freezer, while store-bought turned colors quickly. I guess it's time to get out the Kitchen Maid meat grinder attachment again and go looking for good deals on chuck roasts.
All I know is that I will never eat another burger again unless I know it is fresh ground on the premises with no pink slime added.
I'm gonna call this my Anti - Pink Slime Diet. Bet I lose weight.
Yep, Pink Slime is definitely an Oxymoron and today's addition of The Oxymoron Diaries.

Didi O'Neil walks a fine line similar to that of her characters, teetering between straight-laced and a straight jacket. She has written fiction for years for self-medication and is now delighted to entertain and medicate the general public. Nicknamed "The Human Sponge" she has the ability to pull out of a hat random bits of useless information that can be applied to the moment at hand and often, her writing. Her unofficial status as an accomplished wordsmith spurred her to use oxymorons as the theme of her first series,
The Oxymoron Diaries.

If you buy real beef from a farm it is actually brown...the red is an additive that makes it look more appealing. Leave it to government to allow pink slime to be included in school lunch meat. Why not just feed the kids chicken and fish...keep it simple and healthy.
Well, I grew up spending lots of time on my grandmother's cattle farm and my husband grew up on a cattle farm, too. never saw any red additive going on, believe me. All I know is when I grind it myself, it is bright red and stays that way! I agree about the fish, but amy really starting to wonder about our chicken nowadays, too.
I was listening to a story about this on talk radio the other day and the entire time I thought I was going to be sick. I don't want to incorporate the word "slime" anywhere near my hamburger. G-R-O-S-S.
I know what you mean Margie. I am literally and physically nauseous at the thoght of this. YUCKO!
I don't know where Ed found brown meat that was freshly ground. Our meat has a nice red color when we grind it.
Pink slim...they shot themselves in the foot when it was called that. just the thought maks you think twice
Purchase organic meat from any store. It is not red.
I can't believe they put that junk in our food. I only buy organic. I grew up working in my uncle's deli and we would grind our own meat, I guess I was lucky to know the difference.
Meat is brown instead of red, organic or not, because it has been in the air too long or becasue it is old, or bad. Oxygen makes meat brown. That's why when I grind it myself it stays red. It goes immediately into packages and then immediately into the freezer. brown meat isn't necessary bad, but it has been out in the air too long.
