How to run into trouble in business.
1. Find a way of creating a cheaper processed food product (think beef).
2. Don't tell the public about it.
3. Sell it to schools, hamburger chains etc who will sell it to an unsuspecting public as 'normal' food
4. Wait for someone else to tell the public about it-especially how it is made
5. Watch someone else make your production process look really really bad
6. Wait for negative public reaction
7. Watch sales plummet
8. Try sue
9. Watch even more negative public reaction
With last weeks news of a worker suing Jamie Oliver for his expose on Lean Finely Textured Beef, otherwise generally called 'pink slime' by its haters, the process has once again been foisted into the limelight. Now people get to read about it all over again, reprocess the feelings of revulsion they felt the first time, and reinforce the decision not to ever buy it again.
