No… please no.

First pink slime, then tuna scrape and now… MEAT GLUE!

Is there nothing safe to eat anymore other than rocks and shadows?

Meat glue is a protein adhesive that takes leftover pieces of meat and holds them together so they can look like normal, good cuts of meat.

The two most popular meat glues are Activa and Fibrimex.

Activa is a white powder form of a natural coagulant enzyme called transglutaminase.

Fibrimex is made of enzymes extracted from pig or beef blood.

That is absolutely disgusting. Excuse us, we're feeling sorta barfy.

A policy consultant for the Center for Food Safety said:

"For decades, the meat industry has conveniently operated in the dark, not sharing the dirty details of their practices with the public, while the federal government looked the other way. But now, consumers are demanding to know the truth about what they are."

The worst part of all this is that not even vegetarians are safe. Activa is being used in vegetarian meat substitutes.

Meat glue in our tofurkey??

No thanks.

Did you know The Voice had late fees set up in Christina Aguilera's contract???

Well apparently Christina didn't… or at least she doesn't act like it!!

According to sources, gurl has been two hours late to set WAY TOO MANY TIMES! And the execs are sick are of it!!! But she doesn't seem to notice…

The insiders explain:

It DOES seem like every time someone flips out over how major a solar flare is, or anything else to do with the sun for that matter, it ends up not really being bad at all.

But when we hear how HUGE this sunspot is that's forming on the sun's surface... we tend to not take it so lightly!

The spot has a diameter of 60,000 miles and is many times that of the Earth's which is just under 8,000 miles across. It's even possible to view with home telescopes.

Don't do that, though, unless your 'scope is fitted with sun filters to prevent permanent eye damage. Duh!

A huge solar flare is being predicted because of the spot -- one that will have a burst of radiation travelling at up to 5million mph right towards us.

Unfortunately something like that could cause magnetic storms, which could disrupt satellites and electricity grids.

There's also no specific timeline for this to occur. During the next two years, though, they're expecting the number of sunspots visible on the sun to reach a maximum!

Space is cray!

Awful!

We recently gave U the shocking 4-1-1 on Pregnant Man AKA Thomas Beatie's NASTY divorce proceeding with estranged wife Nancy Beatie.

And while we heard things were bad with his “violent alcoholic” wife of 9 years, we didn't any PROOF, until now!!!

A video has surfaced of Nancy channeling 50 Shades Of Cray as she gets BEYOND aggro and is seen attacking preggo dude with their family computer IN FRONT of their crying children.

It gets worse.

Nancy then decides to take the computer and for no apparent reason, throws it into the pool.

Thomas and the kids are heard crying in the background saying:

“Why would you destroy my computer?!! She's gonna throw the computer in the pool with all of our information, and everything!!! Don't do it Nancy, don't do it!!”

And of course...she does.

Wow. Just WOW!!!!

There are NO words to describe how bad we feel for the KIDS.

CLICK HERE to watch Nancy go Office Space on the computer!

We sincerely hope these two get their act together and learn how to communicate, cause THIS is just SAD.

Horrendous!

Angels cried on Tuesday, as the NY Court of Appeals ruled that it is LEGAL to view child pornography on the internet in the case of James D. Kent, a Marist College professor who was previously convicted for possessing several hundred illegal images in his work computer's web cache.

The court dismissed one of the two counts of featuring a sexual performance of a child and one of the dozens of counts of possession of child pornography on which the pervert was convicted.

Kent the creep denied involvement stating that he "abhorred" child pornography at his sentencing, and claimed that he was framed by someone who placed the images on his computer, which resulted in his sentencing back in 2009.

Things went from bad to worse, as the court ruling basically states that accessing and viewing kiddie porn on the internet isn't the same as possessing it.

This is just HORRIFYING. Either way you slice it- it's a damn shame!!!

Senior Judge Carmen Beauchamp Ciparick shot off her insane justification:

"Merely viewing Web images of child pornography does not, absent other proof, constitute either possession or procurement within the meaning of our Penal Law. Rather, some affirmative act is required (printing, saving, downloading, etc.) to show that defendant in fact exercised dominion and control over the images that were on his screen.To hold otherwise, would extend the reach of (state law) to conduct - viewing - that our Legislature has not deemed criminal."

What?!!! So “merely viewing” is OK?!! What is this world coming to?!!!

Kent's convictions on the other counts rested on other sick evidence, including a folder of horrors containing 13,000 saved images of girls aged 8-9 years old.

This is BEYOND COMPREHENSION!!! We cannot understand how any court, would enact a loophole that entourages the victimizing of young children.

Awful to the umph degree!

This is insane!

Sadly, it's also a real possibility.

A new report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said that about 32 MILLION Americans will be obese by 2030.

That's literally 42% of the population.

It even predicts that 11% of Americans will be considered severely obese by then, which means more than 100 pounds overweight.

The report predicts that there will be a $550 BILLION increase in obesity-related care costs.

One of the report's authors said:

"Their weight continues to increase. Over the last 10 years, it has gone up tremendously. This is a group at great risk of health complications, and yet they are increasing at an even greater rate than the rate of obesity."

The scariest part is the report has found that efforts aimed at helping obese people lose weight has proven ineffective.

Something needs to be done and soon.

C'mon you guys, let's start a fitness revolution!

This story just keeps on getting more and more bizarre!

DNA tests on the now infamous dead baby pills have found that the ingredients in the pills are indeed 99.7 percent human.

They also contain hair and nail remnants.

The pills are a hot commodity because they were thought to increase stamina and energy, but experts believe the tiny capsules contain lethal super bacteria and are highly dangerous.

If you want some energy just drink a Red Bull, people!

Jeez.

Ch-ch-check out the super informative video (above) !!
