Please spread the word to help increase pressure on the USDA to drop pink slime from school lunches. If McDonald's has dropped it, we shouldn't be feeding it to kids either.
If you are on Facebook, click here to post the petition to your Wall.

Tell @USDANutrition: No ammonia-treated, pink slime beef scraps in school lunches! http://bit.ly/wfUlwZ @USDAgov
You can also send the following e-mail to your friends and family. Spreading the word is critical, but please only pass this message along to those who know you -- spam hurts our campaign.
Thanks for all you do.

Here's a sample message to send to your friends:
Subject: Tell the USDA: No ammonia-treated pink slime in school lunches!
Dear Friend,
So-called pink slime is a beef-like product created by grinding together connective tissue and beef scraps normally used in dog food, and treated with ammonia hydroxide to kill salmonella and E. coli.
It is "not meat" according to a 35 year veteran USDA microbiologist, and was recently rejected by the likes of McDonalds, Taco Bell and Burger King.
So it's pretty disturbing that the USDA continues feeding this stuff to kids, and plans to buy 7 million pounds of it for school lunches.
I just signed a petition to the USDA. You can learn more and add your name here:
