    1. Lean finely textured beef is safe, asserts Al Almanza, administrator of USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service. “Isn’t that what we want - a safe product to feed our families?” he says. “USDA has repeatedly affirmed that lean finely textured beef is safe, wholesome, and nutritious 100% lean beef,”

      I agree with this statement because I feel like people are only judging it because it doesn't look real but it's proven to be real beef and safe.

    3. Beef corn is not the kind of meat we really should be eating and I don't know why the government would be feeding us that kind of meat if it's not even really healthy to be eating in the first place no matter the district or not, all students should be eating the same healthy meat that isn't really good.

    4. As of Sept. 3, seven states put in orders to the USDA for about 2 million pounds of beef that may contain the controversial product for the meals they serve in the 2013-14 school year. At this time last year there were only three states — Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota — that had put in orders for beef that may contain lean finely textured beef.

      Is the ammonium hydroxide even safe for us? What if it doesn't kill the bacterias?

    7. But new government data show schools in four more states have since put aside concerns and resumed buying the controversial product.

    8. Kids are going back to school and so is the ground beef filler dubbed “pink slime.”

      I think this isn't right to the kids, in the United States because they didn't ask for this. They just want to eat.

    9. But new government data show schools in four more states have since put aside concerns and resumed buying the controversial product.

      These states are going against the safety of school students and putting this pink slime in their lunches. Even after the uproar of people finding out about the slime in lunches. I feel like the system really doesn't care about the wellness of the kids and about how much money they can make.

    10. school lunches

      Is the fact that pink slime is being added to school lunches make it worse than if it was being added to ground beef at the grocery store?
