Beware of the double grind!!
I'm sure you all remember that gross pink slime burger meat in the long tube well guess what there doing now. There taking all that crap and running it through a grinder twice casing and all and calling it double grind burger meat. So don't be fooled. Just a heads up from a butcher in my grocery store. So if you can't see it being ground or don't personally know your butchers as I do be afraid be very afraid.

Afraid of what? That's a common practice in a restaurant. Well maybe not the casing.

There's nothing to be afraid of. No it's not going to be the ultimate word in taste or texture (which alone is reason enough to buy something else), but there is nothing inherently unsafe about "pink slime". Stop with the useless fearmongering.

Do you truly want to eat this stuff versus fresh ground? I don't. There's some nasty stuff in that crap. A bit over floor sweepings as far as I'm concerned. Never said it was unsafe just gross. Never bought it myself just making letting all know what my butcher told me. Do what you want with this info.

Afraid of what? Fresh ground versus crap that's not fit for human consumption or pet food! Have fun with that I won't. I've been buying my fresh ground for forty years and my butcher will do it to order. Thanks but I'll pass.

a few weeks ago my local safeway had ground beef on sale for $2.25 a lb - I asked the butcher what cut of beef it was that they were grinding that they were able to sell it so cheap (I was interested in buying some of the whole muscle to grind myself) and he said that they get big tubes of non-ground small pieces (smaller than stew meat) and they run that thru the grinder and repackage it...
Know the source of your food - know your butcher well or grind it yourself fella's!

I think I get your point. But when I have a Chuck or Brisket ground I always have it twice ground.

Mechanically removed meat, although it may look disgusting, is food. Do you only eat air dried chicken to avoid chlorine? Do you avoid vegetable oils? I only ask because those are heavily treated with chemicals. Do you encourage soy use even though it contains estrogen? I'm torn on this subject and due to my fortunate job I can afford good high quality meat and ingredients when I cook. I grind my own meat and I know where 90% of my meat comes from. On the other hand, fear mongering is leading to higher food costs, less protein in diets, more soy protein being consumed, etc. If I ever have to seriously curtail my food budget I would choose "pink slime" over soy protein or increased refined carbs any day. Many people in tough economic situations are being pinched by economic conditions and like cheap food prices and as long as it's GRAS they don't care.
