Who eats ground pork? And, unlike cattle, chickens do not contain any
mostly fatty lumps with a little meat inside.

Further, while ground pork is used in a variety of sausages, if pink
slime went only into hot dogs, who would know?

It's going to go into dog food, that's for sure. Maybe end up being
fed to cattle or pigs. Just because something's not fit for human
consumption doesn't mean it will go to waste.

It was never unfit for human consumption. It just shouldn't have been
added to fresh ground beef.

I should have put that phrase in scare quotes then. If pink slime is
fit for human consumption, why all the uproar?

Why didn't they just take the trimmings and grind them in, instead of
ammoniating them and everything? They could have trimmed out some of
the other fat, pregrind.
