I’m an Infrequent Poster, but I’ve been here for years.
I apologize, I was wrong. I should have searched your name on boingboing first since we changed over to a newer bbs.
Beef is not chicken. The substance called “pink slime” is beef.
Sure, industry likes to call the beef process “pink slime” and try to use that as a talking point to distract from the fact that the photo of the chicken paste is not “fake” or a “hoax”. Industry would rather focus on trite semantics than the fact that the pink goo is put into our food products.
The truth of the matter is no matter what you call the photo of the mechanically separated chicken goo, it’s a real photo and it is the contents of everything from hotdogs to bologna to chicken nuggets.
Sometimes mechanically separated chicken, etc. is also called “white slime” which is analogous to “pink slime”. It’s also been commonly called “pink goo” or “pink goop”.

It’s also sometimes referred to in the media and elsewhere as “the chicken version of pink slime”:
“Mechanically Separated Chicken” is the Fowl Equivalent of “Pink Slime”
Doo Doo Chicken: the New Pink Slime
Toxic Chicken Is the New Pink Slime
Once again, the photo isn’t a “fake” or a “hoax”, it’s a slimy pink goo used in our food supply.
Now I’m not only question your ability to distinguish colors, but your ability to see shape and texture as well.
Thanks for being rude to me (once again).
Sorry, but color sampling trumps your opinion. They are both just different shades of pink:
Deal with it.
The colors and textures are very different between the two photos
I already showed by examples in this thread of the similarities, but you obviously only want to focus like a narrow laser on the differences. I never said or implied that they were exactly the same in every way. Only someone being purposefully obtuse would keep implying that.
I’ve noted similarities. You won’t see them and can apparently only see differences. The funny thing is I’m able to note the differences and the similarities while you are not. That’s very telling of your mindset.
your ability to see shape and texture as well.
Why would homemade pink slime (or pink goo or whatever you prefer to call it) being scooped and dumped by hand into a container have the same shape as industrial pink slime being forced from a pressurized nozzle?
The industrial pink slime is obviously more refined than the homemade pink slime. Of course the homemade pink slime isn’t going to be as blended as finely as the industrial kind. I shown that there’s similarities. Anyone without a pre-determined mindset can see them.
Your skepticism is bunk anyway. All any of you had to do was perform a modicum of research to find sources that say the infamous image of pink slime is industrial pink slime from mechanically separated chicken. Or, once again, call it “pink goo”, “pink goop”, “pink shit”… or "the Fowl Equivalent of “Pink Slime”.
Whatever you want to call it, industry has been increasingly pressured to remove it from our human food supply and most people are happy about it.
