Pink Slime???

This post is just a rant of sorts...Who the heck decided our food should be so depleted of all natural ingredients?  "Pink Slime" (abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2012/03/is-pink-slime-in-the-beef-at-your-grocery-store/) are you kidding me!  It is so sad to me that people can't just walk into their local store and find foods that are one local, but two actually what they are supposed to be...unaltered, grown in nature, non-GMO (nongmoproject.org), and what is says on the label.  I mean even food that says "natural" can also include chicken that has been grown only indoors without ever seeing the light of day, that has then been injected with salt water or "natural juices" as they call it.  I just really can't believe some human being said let's take all the left over parts from the cows that aren't even considered meat and wash it with ammonia and then grind it all up and mix it with ground beef and feed it to people who have NO IDEA...what a great idea!  Who does stuff like that?  Who thinks it's ok to label food as "ground beef" when it is really nothing of the sort.  What I really want to know is, do the people who come up with that sort of awful idea actually eat the food?  Do Monsanto (see non gmo info above) employees actually buy their corn and use it at summer bbq's, or do they grow their own organic corn so someday they won't grow a 6th toe?  Do the people who came up with the wonderful idea of "pink slime" feed their kids beef/ammonia/ligament "hamburgers" for dinner?

I just wish food could be like in "the olden days" when food was just that, real, organic, raised in a pasture, pure and simple food.  Don't get me wrong, I buy pre-made pasta, and rice, and grains that have been ground for me.  I also occasionally use food coloring and I love dairy products.  But can't they just all be grown and made humanely and ethically, so they actually benefit the people that eat them, not potentially harm them?
