People let their self-righteousness run wild and this is what happens.
I think the beef producers should sue Jamie Oliver and a few of the
other sensationalists over this.

How many jobs are being lost (making the stuff), and how many additional
beef cattle will need to be butchered to make up for meat scraps no
longer being used to make "slime"? And what happens to that additional
scrap? Will it go into making dogfood, or gelatin, or will it go to the
landfill?

How about if they make it without the ammonia? More people will die
from E. Coli, etc, but at least it won't sound icky.
