love Roots

I tell my husband that I'll never cut costs on food.

We started buying meat from Whole Foods a couple years ago - it looks better and tastes better. I'm assuming [hoping] that's slime free.

Pink slime, ick.

We don't eat meat everyday though - about 1-2 meals and their leftovers a week are meat based and usually it's beef or chicken.

OP you really need to watch Food Inc. It's amazing to see how gross our food is and not just the meat.

I wonder if the CEOs of these meat sliming companies eat their own food products.

I'm going to the grocery store tomorrow and had planned to get some chicken. I'm now wondering what they are doing to chicken these days before it gets to the grocery store. And for that matter, what is in sausage? Ground turkey? Ham? Bacon? Anyone know any good sites or articles on this stuff? I am seriously thinking about becoming a vegetarian!

ground turkey does look like pink slime

This is an outstanding source you can use to identify farmers who raise meat that isn't adulterated. Plenty of places around here that raise grass-fed beef and don't put ammonia in it.
