That is true. The “Gospel community” has in many aspects become a foreign concept (not only on this board, but in Christianity in general). Of course, just about any sense of “community” is somewhat foreign to the American mind.
Indeed... Let's take the discussion to a new thread.
I doubt that LFTB deserves the level of concerned and reprehension it receives when compared to other food processes, fillers, and treatments. But we should be aware of what we are purchasing and consuming – the problem is that, since LFTB is 100% beef, the consumer has the impression that they are purchasing 100% ground beef instead of the filler.
I've found that the claims (McDonalds for instance) are very carefully worded. ALL of the BEEF they use is 100% pure beef (duh). But what they do not say is that EVERYTHING in their products that contains that 100% beef is ONLY beef. And, additionally, something can be "beef" that N
NE would ever intentionally purchase or use if they knew what they were purchasing.
As for the pink slime thing, we've been eating as bad or worse for decades every time we eat processed foods, hot dogs, virtually anything in a cafeteria, buffet place, school program, or fast food restaurant.
Anyone else ever wonder how Arby's gets that perfectly consistent "meat product" that has no gristle, fat, etc., that they CALL "roast beef?" I've cooked a boatload of beef roasts in my life and I've never seen one with either that texture or that consistency. It ain't "beef" but it may be made from 100% all beef (that meaning the blood, the skin, the intestines and other internal organs, etc.) all boiled down into a slurry that coagulates and can be sliced onto a sandwich.
