There's No Putting A Positive Spin On 'Pink Slime'
-
It's been a year since the pink slime uproar, and the company that makes the beef additive that got all the bad publicity is still hurting -- it lost 80% of its business all at once due to the reports, over which it's now suing. The suit seems to be a long shot -- defamation suits tend to be hard to win -- but 700 people lost their jobs. And, yes, dubbing the stuff "pink slime" may have been a low blow and the safety concerns may be overblown, but drawing attention to stuff that's in your food of which you may not be aware isn't bad for consumers, and nobody guaranteed the company that its product would always be acceptable to the public.
