They used to only use those scraps for dog food.
They have since developed a way to make it safe for human consumption.

The real questions:

Is it safe? The answer according to all credible evidence is yes, it is safe.

I saw one report on CNN (I haven't seen it repeated yet however,) that one of the former USDA scientists who lambasted the filler has converted to full vegetarianism.

This was never mentioned on ABC news, and so far no one is checking into this.
