Maraschino cherries, olives and bagels are often treated with drain opener (Lye) so do not fret about the pink slime.

When I cut meat, I am sloppy and not at all very pro butcher like. I know my burger is all beef and all that goes into it it is cow.



I have a friend who put off fish for some time because he watched someone clean one. Visit an egg processor or a slaughterhouse and you might think vegetarian. People want to eat but they do not want to see where their beef comes from.
