'Pink Slime": Back, With a $1.2 Billion Lawsuit
When I wrote about a certain famous hamburger-meat filler last spring, I compared it to a "horror-film villain" that "takes a pounding but keeps coming back." It turned out that the travails of pink slime—I beg your pardon, I meant to say, "lean, finely textured beef"—were just starting. ABC News would soon discuss it at length in a series of reports. Big institutional customers stopped buying the stuff in droves, forcing one of its main makers, Beef Products International, to shut down three of its four plants. Things got so grim that BPI resorted to hauling out Rick Perry to defend it. That campaign went about as well as the Texas governor's presidential bid.
