VERNON (CBS) — A Vernon meat processing plant is shutting down in the wake of nationwide backlash against a sterilizing meat filler known as “pink slime.”

Roughly 850 workers at AFA Foods, which is owned by Los Angeles-based private equity firm Yucaipa Cos. and basketball great Magic Johnson, will be layed off Friday.

The Pennsylvania-based company, which is filing for bankruptcy, was already dealing with financial woes. It says things worsened, however, after public outcry over the USDA-approved meat filler, which the company used when it was requested by customers.

AFA supplies beef to Safeway, Wendy’s, Wal-Mart, Burger King and Carl’s Jr., putting out more than 500 million pounds a year.

Not for me!

If the big companies stopped trying to scam the consumer, maybe they wouldn’t have to close there doors. How much profit does one company need, and is anyone really into the pink slim now they know who makes it and were it is sold?

Nasty stuff!

The pink slime is barely fit for dog food, humans should never be fed this waste.

I can’t even get a job.That’s because that aS$hole lawyer Robert Hale from Hale and Nguyen in Brea couldn’t help me with my case. I’m a chickensh!t aS$puck that has a beef with law enforcement and everybody on the internet. I used multiple screen names like [GROW..APAIR], [wg//af], [up//yours], [Mike in San Diego], [Mike in Upland], [1stman] and [kma] so no one can track me down. I challenge people to meet me in front of the Fullerton P.D. station for my protection. I’m such a puS$y dumbf**k with nothing to say I post to myself copying sentences from everyone, especially GROWAPAIR, who knows I’m a ball sniffing loser.
I’ll use your screen name next, puS$y d!cklips.
Pay attention to me when I hijack screen names to show I’m a whiny puS$y dumbf**k loser. It makes my ass pucker with joy when people think I’m GROWAPAIR and my daddy’s balls like it when my ass puckers. Tell me how I can sound any more f**king stupid.
