All right we don't -- -- hold you in suspense here before the break we SE which should be easy ingredients could be in your next burger.
He work beef.
And -- -- The answer.
Well all of them.
That's right deplore could be mr.
read all of that together at least that's what authorities found in hamburger -- in Britain and Ireland.
I've always a little as is or is -- -- of course unless its between two slices of bread and I just say.
I don't know I want I want I want that anyway attorney -- -- holder says buyer beware.
Because even though this mystery meat was found in Europe he can get your -- -- we've gotten attrition is Michelle did us here as well camera on.
What is to stop us from thinking that that's.
Possible nothing nothing at all at this is very possible if you think about it over 70% of neat.
Has what is called pink -- in it and there -- a bill last year that that was put forward to prevent this pink slime from going into hamburger meat.
And instance pink slime is basically left over of scrapped that that falls off of -- and then it's saved.
Put into a block and and fed with -- not sad for lack of a -- work.
Fed with ammonia and then -- grind it up and put it in hamburger meat and then then go to congress yes and then well and then on top of that last year the government bought seven million pounds of -- to put into school lunch meat.
So my point is yeah.
Pretty disgusting right.
There's a lot of wide latitude -- itself.
I have cameras trying to become a vegetarian but it's not working close smooth color but.
But we are that we do have very liberal rules on how we could define.
Meet right I mean that I remember years ago with hot dogs and he knew it and and about -- they read about daughter and this is -- the same apply here to basic.
Everybody because apparently -- as a shocker to those in Ireland and England what what do you.
Well when it comes to ground to meat -- meat products if it says it's 100% beef it's 100% beef.
Now -- see things like buy products or varietal on that label.
Then that there should be made you know other parts of that beef product but it hit the -- is required to be truthful.
All right but abroad they would have -- that this that the that the grocery store -- -- -- looks Francis of the case and it looks like everything's.
Hunky dory you have no idea my god they are meeting this threat so what would be Cameron.
The limitations here that the I've heard in the United States you would be able get away with that is that true.
I don't necessarily think so I think that there are a lot of legislators that are now looking at this problem here because like I said the pink slime issue that we were dealing with last year.
But yeah I signed is included in -- some debate right right and and street sign is part of it it's part of beef it's part of your hamburger and ensure we can -- on anybody should remain that set of things in mind.
So -- -- brown slime but not gonna get the -- We were talking about if you about the labels sure the -- at a Wal-Mart or target but what about when you go to a McDonald's or you go to your local hobby new buyer burglary you don't know what's necessarily in there.
So the question is do -- I believe that the corporations should ask their suppliers they have a duty to make sure that what they're buying.
Highs acts -- of ingredients senate and disclose that to the consumer.
I'm Michelle yeah as a nutritionists.
You're you're always on -- -- a lot of your your patients or are those are going to see him -- look.
We want to get you off the processed foods a lot of deals that well then I'll get fresh before -- -- won't touch what's in a box.
But now -- people -- requested is the stuff you've thought.
Was not process that might be worse than the worst processed -- you can and answer.
Yeah you know when it comes to buying says and that's -- a proponent of clean eating.
Choosing foods in their most natural states and -- I do of course partake in ground meat from here you know that from time to time.
Lean cuts of meat I I IE feel good about their leaned they have a lot of good nutrition and them.
So you know what we do you buy products that -- process you really need to think about who in -- -- this.
-- -- just didn't stuff to do.
It's -- mobile -- and -- here's the other thing that this report found in Ireland that actually a lot of the natural foods had this horse.
And -- act quine byproduct on it so it's not just hamburger and that's what the scary thing -- -- of imports did what I'll do that stockpile.
Probably be machinery or whatever the cleanliness switches which leads to another -- now we have we have a public health concern not -- Emmental concern of what you're eating and as well stand the -- deal would that's.
All forward.
That for that process course in the United States there haven't -- since that I didn't yeah.
Yes well in the USDA in dozens backed all of the meat supply need to meat poultry and eggs still.
Legally now they're better not be any horse processing plants out -- so course is not the issue now it here.
Concerned about for whatever reason for religious reasons for ethical reasons if you're concerned about chicken being -- beef or -- being -- -- or whatever.
You know that that is another issue but -- -- -- course and that is that's not registering an.
You know the it's different -- people who actually.
No they want to eat -- there and they're yeah.
Doing or thought yeah.
I don't wanna go -- -- the -- -- is borrowers and here yes or dominant.
We're not under any I don't not ours and yeah I don't when he -- I don't have documented by you know until we get well -- I don't think -- -- -- -- the case.
You know under the banners of of this is still aren't well yeah.
