God save us. Now lean ground beef will kill us. Alan Caruba disagrees.

It lean beef, folks.  But, to the Marxist generation,
this is another excuse to rob us our freedoms. 

Summary statement:  Over the years,  Leftist rhetorical tactics have convinced us that "summer" is really "global warming,"  that the air we breathe is actually poisonous,  that we can change our gender by simply playing "dress-up," that spending 40,000 dollars on a car that catches itself on fire is preferable to saving money, pushing "organic gardening" is advisable in spite of its ties to salmonella, and airing up our tires will offset our need for Middle Eastern oil.    The latest scare is "pink slime."

From Enter Stage Right,  we have a very timely call to reasonable discourse.  Alan Caruba challenges  Leftist scare tactics,  this time dealing with "pink slime" in our food supply.  Understand that the Leftist cabal is constantly searching for a story line they can use to frighten the public,  and, then,  use that fear to shape social reform.  Before they move forward,  these Marxist Misfits,  settle on a storyline,  produce a catchy thematic phrase, one that is grossly negative of and within itself such as "pink slime,"  and proceed without compromise.  As a result,  their rhetorical tactics have convinced us that "summer" is really "global warming,"  that the air we breathe is actually poisonous,  that we can change our gender by simply playing "dress-up," that spending 40,000 dollars on a car that catches itself on fire is preferable to saving money, pushing "organic gardening" is advisable in spite of its ties to salmonella, and airing up our tires will offset our need for Middle Eastern oil.    


With all this nonsense in mind,  we recommend Alan Caruba article setting the record straight on lean ground beef:

I am subject to various enthusiasms and, in 2008, I wrote a series about beef and the vast network of phony consumer advocates, vegetarian types, animal rights groups and headline chasing media folks who love a good scare campaign, all trying to convince Americans that beef was bad for them.


Today, it is a smear campaign about a type of meat promoted in the media as "pink slime." Typically, it is a pack of lies and it's going to cost some folks their jobs and drive up the cost of beef if allowed to go unchallenged.


What is being demonized in this 21st century reincarnation of the 1989 Alar apple scare is finely textured, 95% lean beef. It is composed of small parts of beef that are still available for use after the cuts with which we are more accustomed, like sirloin, brisket, top round, flank, porterhouse, and some forty other selections, are taken.


This lean beef is routinely added to lower quality hamburger to increase its protein content and its production has long been approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. It actually improves the nutritional quality of a lot of cheaper hamburger.


While the media may not approve of this beef, plenty of others do. A March 29 article in The Wall Street Journal reported that after being hammered in the media for weeks, the lean beef, "is getting support from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the governors of five states, who argue it has been unfairly labeled and is actually a safe, low-cost way to make ground beef leaner." . . . . . . . . . . . . . . contnue reading at  Enter Stage Right


What I really want to know is this:  why aren't you Democrats embarrassed?  Geeeesh.
