Scientist who coined 'Pink Slime' is reluctant whistleblower

[kaspersky]

When he coined the term "Pink Slime" to descibe the
unlabeled and unappetizing bits of cartilage and other
chemically-treated scrap meat going into U.S. ground beef,
Zirnstein was a microbiologist at the U.S. Department of
Agriculture. He made the slime reference to a fellow scientist
in an internal -- and he thought private -- email.

But that email later became public, and with it came an
explosion of outrage from consumer groups. Descriptions of a mix
of fatty beef by-products and connective tissue, ground up and
treated with ammonium hydroxide blended with ground beef have
led the nation's largest supermarket chains to ban the product.

McDonalds said it would stop buying hamburger containing
what the industry calls "finely textured beef," and the USDA has
said school districts can opt out of feeding it to children.
