I just learned about this ammonia-filled "pink slime" that's being used in hamburger meat, including the stuff we buy at the grocery store. Is there nothing left on the planet that will not kill us any more? Everything will either make you sick or make you fat. There's no such thing as good or healthy food any more. Organic food is covered in feces left by insects that carry all kinds of horrible diseases, and all the nutrients in the soil are gone because the farmers don't rotate the crops like they used to, cereal is full of cockroach parts, everything crawling with E.Coli. I am so sick of it, everything we say and do is so completely wrong and we're all going to die horrible deaths. Can't breathe the air. Can't drink the water. Can't eat the food. Going to die of starvation and dehydration. Going to get nuked. Going to get diseased. Going to rot away and it will be like we never existed at all. Must stop now, getting poisoned by radiation and mercury from own computer.

Please stop. You are starting to sound like my mother. She was getting really nuts about E. Coli and other stuff towards the end, but even long before that she was bad about food. She would over cook the veggies until they were a slimy, inedible mess, so to this day, I can't stand cooked veggies. She would cook the meat into a tasteless, dessicated, hard to chew and swallow consistancy. All to kill the germs. I am a lousy cook, but I am far better than she was. When I cook foods are usually edible. I used to have a problem with grilled cheese though, but you can't see the underside of the sandwich while it's cooking, so it is hard to tell if it's getting over done, until you can smell it burning. I got pretty good at scraping most of the black off, and was always willing to eat charcoal flavored grilled cheese sandwiches, rather than throw it away. I solved the problem, though, and lowered the calories, too. Now I toast the bread first, then I put the cheese on it and cut the sandwich in half. Then I put it in the microwave briefly, turn it over and put it back briefly, and take out a nice, hot grilled cheese sandwich that has been made with no butter or oil. Sure it's a little dry, but at least there are less calories, and it's not burnt. Also, I have stuff to drink down dry foods.

I wouldn't fret so much about the food, except for toxic stuff put in it. Our stomachs are designed to kill off most bad germs. As for bug parts, they are additional protein with the meal! :lol:

If you worry about all the crap that they say on the news, you'll never enjoy life. Plus, you gotta die from something don't you? Might as well enjoy life while you are here. If you spend your entire life so careful and avoiding anything that could possibly be bad for you, what kind of life is that? Eat what tastes good, do whats fun, enjoy yourself and don't worry about it. And stop reading those reports about stuff like that, they are useless and only get people worked up.

Live near a farm or farmers' market? Get some nice fresh fruits & veggies, those are good for you. (and they actually help move the other junk through your system :))

You gotta have some bacteria in foods anyway or else you won't be able to combat it with the antibodies in your human body.

I am semi-vegetarian most days and seldom eat red meat or pork. The best thing to dowhen it comes to eating healthier is to eat food in its most natural state and avoid the more processed foods.

There's no such thing as "pure" food anyway. Everything is contaminated with something.

Buy organic food, and actually wash it and cook it thoroughly before you eat it.

If it's not on the ingredients list, it's not allowed in there, simple as that, that was the pink slime part.

Second, many of the so-called dangerous substances are plain, old, made-up BS thrown into the media on slow news days.

The thing is, you WILL die one day, like it or not. There are healthy foods nowadays, organic or not (for you organic nuts out there, try to wash your veggies, it's the same, only at twice the price). If farmers don't rotate crops, eventually nothing will grow there, making it their loss.

First off, you need bacteria and viruses, else you get allergies (basically your immune system goes nuts from boredom), second. if you are in doubt, try to scrounge up scientific papers... If there are few or no references to other papers, it's most likely something someone pulled out their a**.

Look at the world critically, keep eating your food and stop caring about what the media says. You WILL die eventually.

It's not ammonia filled, it's ammonia treated, and it isn't "stuff" it's beef.

Pink slime isn't unhealthy, it's gross. The distinction being that the former is bad for your body and the latter is objectionable to your mind. Like the position of your tongue and various other things, it is difficult to force away your consciousness of something once you have it, but it can and probably will happen, and it is a good thing.

Pink slime is disgusting, but what do you prefer: factory grown meat or animals killed in farms? I'd rather things not be processed, but that's needed to keep food around longer than a few days. What we need to do is just try to eat healthy and try to push scientists to inject nutrients into our food; hell, someday we'll probably have food pills.

Exactly.
