Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution: 70% of America's Beef is Treated with Ammonia

On the Season Premiere of Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution filmed in Los Angeles and aired on April 12, 2011, Jamie demonstrates how 70% of America's ground beef contains leftover cow parts (a.k.a. "pink slime") containing e.coli and salmonella that has been treated with ammonia. Ammonia treated meat can be found in virtually all conventional grocery stores, fast food restaurants, many national restaurant chains, and school cafeterias. The saddest part is that the USDA allows this ammonia treated meat to enter the marketplace and with no labeling requirement on the packaging to inform the consumer that the meat their about to buy contains ammonia, thus hiding the truth and pulling a wool over the consumer's eye. This is certainly a rude awakening to the majority of Americans that don't know where the meat in their fridge, the meat in their conventional local grocery store, the meat in their fast food hamburger, and the meat in their restaurant made hamburger comes from. How do you avoid this poison? Buy beef that has come from grass fed cows, which can be found at natural and organic grocery stores and your local farmers market. No matter the size of your town or city, grass fed beef (real beef) is not out of reach. Unlike ammonia treated beef, grass fed beef is clearly labeled and contains no ammonia.

Wow. I start to think about the increasing number of people with different types of cancer, the increasing number of children diagnosed with autism. These things could be related. They are using so many different "poisons" in our food everyday. And they don't want us to know. Shame on them. They just don't care.

And people bitch about the obesity and unhealthiness in kids. Scumbag businessmen and politicians (it's gay to argue who;s better or worse since they ALL suck) feed your kids whatever they want in the name of profit. What's the difference between the USA and Russia? Different language,THAT'S IT!

@Intranetusa If it was safe then these companies wouldn`t add ammonia to it.

or diabetes which is increasing at alarming rates.

@vlecka No it's not, and you're very much right. Good to see you just going with the flow not giving a shit.

[vlecka]

@Dawgmeatt Governments all over the world decide what kind of food should people eat, and it's also illegal to produce and sell food that contains substances which can endanger your health. And just FYI, the USA has never been the land of free, and never will.

[Dawgmeatt]

@vlecka Or you know, the American population could demonstrate its ability to use restraint and eat controlled portions. You're a dipshit if you think congress should decide what is good and isn't good for the population. So much for land of the free if you have your way.

I wonder what the word Jamie's censored word is @ 1:13?

[ARTISTofPORTRAIT]

@mayaclay wrong. first of all he ate at McDonald for 30 days which it wasnt just big macs it was all the food. And if you paid attention, he said he actually was having health probably.
