You’ve got to read this story in the New York Times that’s trying to make a great big deal out of the bugaboo that ground beef injected with gaseous ammonia still has e.coli in it. I had to read the first few paragraphs a couple times to get the point that they were incensed about the e.coli, not that the processing company is INJECTING AMMONIA INTO GROUND BEEF! Because, you know, why would a little ammonia in your hamburger patty scare you? Squirt a little ketchup on it, garnish it with a few pickles and you hardly notice.
