Who eats ground pork? And, unlike cattle, chickens do not contain any
mostly fatty lumps with a little meat inside.

Further, while ground pork is used in a variety of sausages, if pink
slime went only into hot dogs, who would know?

It's going to go into dog food, that's for sure. Maybe end up being
fed to cattle or pigs. Just because something's not fit for human
consumption doesn't mean it will go to waste.
