This is a real issue in schools today that I think is plain disgusting. Do they think we are lesser beings to be fed this stuff? Well, since it was in all fast food restaurants that even adults eat in I guess not, but still...Please read the folowing update on the above link (yes, I know that it showed the update at the top of the article when you go to the link, but this is the FULL update).

Thanks to public pressure, the USDA announced Thursday that starting next fall, they would allow schools to choose whether or not to include pink slime beef filler in their school lunches.

That's a positive sign that USDA is feeling vulnerable on pink slime, but it's not good enough. Pink slime should be fully eliminated from the National School Lunch Program.

Now is the time to keep the pressure building. Maine Rep. Chellie Pingree has written a letter to USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack and is asking other members of congress to sign on.

I just signed a petition asking my Representative to co-sign Rep. Pingree's letter to USDA. You can learn more (the link takes you to where there's even more info about it) and sign the petition here:http://act.credoaction.com/campaign/pingree_pink_slime/?r_by=36811-5410434-RXxkxrx&rc=confemail
