Avoiding Pink Slime

If you don't want to get "slimed"

After my rant on "pink slime" yesterday, I realized I didn't tell you guys how to avoid it, if you feel the need to. (If you are new to the blog, please go back and read my last post!)

1. Buy USDA Organic beef- make sure it has a USDA Organic Stamp of approval on the package
2. Buy from a local butcher (yes this sounds Brady Bunch, but why not?) and build a relationship with them so they know how you want your meat prepared
3. Skipped the ground beef and buy good quality beef: sirloin, filet and tenderloin
4. Get your protein source from other foods: beans, nuts, dairy and soy products

This is a list of some of the fast food chains and relailors that claim they do not use it anymore.

• Walmart and Sams Club
• Kroger
• Mcdonalds
• Taco Bell
• Safeway
• Costco
• Publix
• H-E-B
• Whole Foods

PS-I want this shirt! Maybe I'd make it say "Dude, it's beef, just not high quality beef." =)
