(NaturalNews) If you're in the beef business, what do you do with all the extra cow parts and trimmings that have traditionally been sold off for use in pet food? You scrape them together into a pink mass, inject them with a chemical to kill the e.coli, and sell them to fast food restaurants to make into hamburgers.
（NaturalNews）如果你做牛肉生意，你會怎樣處理所有額外的牛部件和輔料？傳统上它們被出售去用於寵物食品，你一齊擦乾淨它們至粉紅塊，注入一種化學殺死大腸桿菌，並出售給快餐店做漢堡包。
That's what's been happening all across the USA with beef sold to McDonald's, Burger King, school lunches and other fast food restaurants, according to a New York Times article. The beef is injected with ammonia, a chemical commonly used in glass cleaning and window cleaning products.
根據紐約時報的文章，這是全美國都在做緊的，牛肉賣給麥當勞，漢堡王，學校午餐和其他快餐店。牛肉都被注射氨，一種化學物質常用於清洗玻璃和窗戶的清潔產品。
This is all fine with the USDA, which endorses the procedure as a way to make the hamburger beef "safe" enough to eat. Ammonia kills e.coli, you see, and the USDA doesn't seem to be concerned with the fact that people are eating ammonia in their hamburgers.
對於美國農業部這一切都好，它贊同那程序，作為一種方法去使漢堡牛肉足夠“安全”來作食物。你明白到氨殺死大腸桿菌，美國農業部似乎不關心那事實，人們都在吃漢堡包內的氨。
This ammonia-injected beef comes from a company called Beef Products, Inc. As NYT reports, the federal school lunch program used a whopping 5.5 million pounds of ammonia-injected beef trimmings from this company in 2008. This company reportedly developed the idea of using ammonia to sterilize beef before selling it for human consumption.
紐約時報報導，這種氨注牛肉來自一家名為牛肉產品公司，2008年聯邦學校午餐計劃動用了來自這家公司高達五百五十萬磅的氨注牛肉輔料。這家公司報稱開發用氨消毒牛肉的主意，在出售牛肉供人食用之前如此做。後將它。
Aside from the fact that there's ammonia in the hamburger meat, there's another problem with this company's products: The ammonia doesn't always kill the pathogens. Both e.coli and salmonella have been found contaminating the cow-derived products sold by this company.
放開漢堡肉有氨的事實，還有另外一個問題與該公司的產品有關：氨並不時常殺死病原體，大腸桿菌與沙門氏菌兩者都已被發現，污染了這公司銷售的牛衍生產品。
This came as a shock to the USDA, which had actually exempted the company's products from pathogen testing and product recalls. Why was it exempted? Because the ammonia injection process was deemed so effective that the meat products were thought to be safe beyond any question.

What else is in there?

As the NYT reports, "The company says its processed beef, a mashlike substance frozen into blocks or chips, is used in a majority of the hamburger sold nationwide. But it has remained little known outside industry and government circles. Federal officials agreed to the company's request that the ammonia be classified as a 'processing agent' and not an ingredient that would be listed on labels."

Fascinating. So you can inject a beef product with a chemical found in glass cleaning products and simply call it a "processing agent" -- with the full permission and approval of the USDA, no less! Does anyone doubt any longer how deeply embedded the USDA is with the beef industry?

Apparently, this practice of injecting fast food beef with ammonia has been a well-kept secret for years. I never knew this was going on, and this news appears to be new information to virtually everyone. The real shocker is that "a majority" of fast food restaurants use this ammonia-injected cow-derived product in their hamburger meat. It sort of makes you wonder: What else is in there that we don't know about?

"School lunch officials and other customers complained about the taste and smell of the beef," says the NYT. No wonder. It's been pumped full of chemicals.

There are already a thousand reasons not to eat fast food. Make this reason number 1,001. Ammonia. It's not supposed to be there.

You can get the same effect by opening a can of dog food made with beef byproducts, spraying it with ammonia, and swallowing it. That is essentially what you're eating when you order a fast food burger.
