Ammonia in Ground Beef

[skysidhe]

From BPI's own website.


11. We are all told to be more "green." I want my food to be "natural." Is this just another chemical in my food?

Ammonia and ammonium hydroxide are naturally occurring in all proteins. Ammonia is essential for life and we have included information about its uses and benefits for you.

Essential for life! That's their sales pitch!?


Question and answer #3 has a whole pdf attached to why ammonia is essential for life.

No question and answer on why we need to eat the trimmings usually put in pet food.

That said, we ate McDonald's yesterday. We only eat fast food one every couple of months or so and I must say my garbage burger was delicious.

I didn't read this article until this morning. I feel no barf reflex or remembrance of any terrible taste. Good thing the big mac is dripping in dressing and cheese which is probably fake too.


Usually I buy lean ground beef from the grocery store. I am glad it is ground on the premises other wise I might stop eating ground beef all together.
