DOTHAN, Ala. --
In the latest installment of the Food Wars, a controversy has erupted over “pink slime,” or scraps of beef treated with ammonia gas to kill off bacteria that are used as filler in ground beef. Also this week, January Jones of TV’s Mad Men, discussed eating her placenta after pregnancy.
Somehow, I think the folks who are all up in arms about pink slime are perfectly OK with chowing down on placenta.
In recent years, an increasing number of people have become extremely worried about what’s in their food, while at the same time, an increasing number of people have advocated eating some really bizarre things.
Looking too closely into what’s in your food is sort of like taking a look at your significant other’s texts or emails. There may be stuff in there that you need to know, but chances are that you’re happier not knowing it and the eventual end result is probably going to be the same, anyway.
People who actually know what a transfat is (I thought it was one of those motorized scooters at Walmart) and get all worked up about things like processed foods tend to be the type who obsess over things like pre-rinsing dishes and properly inflating their tires. They’re killjoys and, not content with making their own lives a cold and grey wasteland, they want to impose their gluten-free, consciousness-elevated lifestyles on the rest of us.
Does pink slime sound gross? Well, yeah. But is all this organic and natural stuff any better? From my experience, most things that are natural are pretty nasty. Jones claims that eating the placenta helped her get her energy back after pregnancy. Hello, ever hear of Red Bull? It gives you wings, and – here’s the value added – it did not go kerplop out of your body.
