Beef processor files for bankruptcy over 'pink slime' uproar

[katsy]

26. People have the right to choose.

As safe as pink slime may be, people have the right to not eat what they don't want to eat. End of story.

People have a right to know what is in their food and refuse to purchase any thing that grosses them out. They have the right to refuse to pay for a product even for NO reason at all. Customer's money. Customer's body. Their decision. Science plays no part in this. If science should play a part in this, give a good reason why I shouldn't eat grandma.

The jobs sacrificed are not the fault of customers who refuse an unappetizing product. It's the fault of the company management alone. Now that they've declared bankruptcy, they'll screw over their vendors and lenders paying out like 10 cents on the dollar of debt and voila! Everyone got screwed except the management team whose stupidity produced a product they thought customers would WANT to eat. They are at fault, no one else. Theirs is the kind of vision that would produce Broccoli O's cereal and think kids would be flooding the stores to buy them. I take that back... compare broccoli with cow lips and ass and broccoli would win hands down.

My guess is that scientifically literate people led the charge to take that crap out of our food chain. Just an opinion. I talk with friends, family and neighbors, all highly educated, and we share info about safe food, locally produced food, organic links etc. I wouldn't buy anything from an outfit like that for any reason and I don't even want to hear their bullshit. The farmer down the road I trust.
