    Did we ever stop and think that maybe all this crap we started putting into foods in the 70s and 80s to extend shelf life really causes Autism or some of the other illnesses out there? They are trying to get us sick so we have to take their pharmaceuticals.

    When one looks at what they put in food, water, and vaccines it seems that eugenicist run the place. GM food is bad enough. The crap that thrives on roundup is causing male sterilization. That is the benefit of this trash, we that and the damn seed can be turned off.

    I think it's clear that whatever is causing cancer is in our foodstuffs or in the air. More than likely both.

    Trends in meat consumption in the United States

    Abstract

    OBJECTIVE

    To characterize the trends, distribution, potential determinants, and public health implications of meat consumption within the United States.

    DESIGN

    We examined temporal trends in meat consumption using food availability data from the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) and United States Department of Agriculture (USDA); and further evaluated meat intake by type (red, white, processed) in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) linked to the MyPyramid Equivalents Database (MPED).

    RESULTS

    Overall meat consumption has continued to rise in the U.S., European Union, and developed world. Despite a shift toward higher poultry consumption, red meat still represents the largest proportion of meat consumed in the U.S (58%). Twenty-two percent of the meat consumed in the U.S. is processed. According to NHANES 2003–2004, total meat intake averaged 128 g/day. The type and quantities of meat reported varied by education, race, age, and gender.

    CONCLUSIONS

    Given the plausible epidemiologic evidence for red and processed meat intake in cancer and chronic disease risk, understanding the trends and determinants of meat consumption in the U.S., where meat is consumed at more than three times the global average, should be particularly pertinent to researchers and other public health professionals aiming to reduce the global burden of chronic disease.

    “Anything that we sell at Costco we want to explain it’s origins, and I personally don’t know how to explain trim treated with ammonia in our ground beef,” Craig Wilson, vice president of quality assurance for Costco, told ABC News. “I just don’t know how to explain that. I’m not that smart.”
    I love the tone of this guy's response.

    but in both cases the name fits.

    Perhaps it was the advent of wireless cell phone signals, which started around the same time. If you're going to take shots in the dark, then nothing is unreasonable, is it?

    Using the term "pink slime" is also a form of marketing.

    Pink Slime was coined by Dr. Gerald Zirnstein, a former United States Department of Agriculture scientist, in a USDA memo after seeing it being mixed into hamburger meat in 2002.

    You are right Djinn, cell phone transmissions could be causing issues as well. Just yesterday in my local newspaper there was an article where the state University here is going to conduct experiments to see if cell phone towers have anything to do with low honey bee populations.

    Correct; but it's still a pejorative; a disparaging term specifically designed to evoke negative emotional reactions.

    And that's fine, presuming you want to employ emotional diatribes rather than rational debate. But to say something is "unhealthy" or "toxic" delves into scientific fields, which have no place for perjoratives.
