Remember "pink slime"? We're going back a few years, but between media hysterics and social media sharing by the gullible, a lot of you were convinced a little under a decade ago that some gross, dangerous, unhealthy goo was being put in the meat you were buying from the grocery store. (There was another version of the "pink slime" nonsense that targeted McDonald's, but I think most people caught on pretty quickly to that one.)
Much of this was the work of ABC News, which informed us in oh-so-concerned tones how disturbing and shocking all this was. The meat industry was putting crap into your meat, and the corrupt FDA was refusing to make them tell you about it! Why? Because its officials were "meat-industry connected" and they were in on the evil scheme.
