from the story:

"In 2004, lunch officials increased the amount of Beef Products meat
allowed in its hamburgers to 15 percent, from 10 percent, to increase
savings. In a taste test at the time, some school children favored burgers
with higher amounts of processed beef."

tee-hee.

"In early 2003, officials in Georgia returned nearly 7,000 pounds to Beef
Products after cooks who were making meatloaf for state prisoners detected
a ´very strong odor of ammonia¡ in 60-pound blocks of the trimmings, state
records show."

´It was frozen, but you could still smell ammonia,¡ said Dr. Charles Tant,
a Georgia agriculture department official. ´Iÿve never seen anything like
it.¡

now, *that's* unusual. i wonder why they just didn't switch to nutraloaf,
since all prisoners are inhuman swine anyway.
