A blogger that goes by the name "Off The Kuff" gives a brief opinion about Pink Slime. But mostly relays the reader to the original source. Basically what pink slime is bit and pieces of fatty scraps and connective tissues that was left over from the beef that was being processed. At first it was only first used in pet food or if it was rendered, it could of been used as cooking oil. In 2001, a South Dakota company (Beef Products) was approved to use these scraps as long as it was treated with ammonium hydroxide to stop the growth of pathogens. This later gives the mixture it's infamous name "Pink Slime" because of it gelatin-pink texture. The problem is that big fast food chains like McDonald's, Burger King, and Taco Bell are known to use Pink Slime; but it isn't just fast food chains. Pink Slime can also be found in the children's school lunches.

Off The Kuff did a great informing the reader about Pink Slime, he provided the original source and quoted important facts about Pink Slime. He even takes it a step further and started his own petition, so that the government can reconsider the removal of pink slime from children's school lunches. One like I like about Kuff is that he isn't an aggressive blogger. He states the problem and provides his own solution, he also doesn't enforce among his readers.
