You are in Florida and bought meat from place other than Publix? They have item called Market Ground Beef which is ground daily from steak trimmings. Surprisingly affordable and way more flavorful than anything else. Mix in some soy sauce and make burgers.
...or grind your own hamburger.

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

pink slime yuck. I understand the process and yes it is basically beef product but the visual/name is just... gross.
As a child we used to live on a ranch and got my beef the old fashioned way, go to the corral and pick a cow and take it to the slaughterhouse. Today I live in the city and have few options, supermarkets, costco, a couple boutique butchers. The meat quality at the supermarkets is usually sub-par to par but it's convienient, costco is a bit better but is a hassle to run in and grab a couple steaks on a spur of the moment dinner choice. The butchers have great quality but the prices are 2-3 times higher than the supermarket.
If you don't have a grinder but have a kitchen aid mixer the meat grinder attachement actually works very well for about $50. no pink slime, no sealed nitrogen filled packs that make the meat stay red for 10 days instead of 3 etc... but a chuck roast and either sirloin or brisket and grind a custom blend. 3 parts chuck to 1 part brisket is my go-to burger mix. while you are grinding you can control fat/lean ratios and add spices and as the meat sits it actually flavors the meat better than doing it later especially if you grind, make patties, and freeze them in zip locks.

Bad as in overly processed, less nutritious. It contains a lot of fat a gelatinous parts but real beef contains muscle tissue. Our ancestors evolved by eating whatever they could find. None of that food was processed, nor did it contain carbohydrates like the food we eat now 'a' days.
Hunt = meat
Gather = things like wild fruits, root vegetables, nuts, and seeds all of which have carbs
where given access to environments with abundant nuts and seeds hunter-gatherer group diets meat made up as little as 20% of their diet

That said I love my steak tartare and the left overs make _great_ burgers with no pink slime or other fillers.

Paleo diet?!? Wasn't the early lifespan of Paleoman, or at least caveman less than 40 years?
Nope, that's not for me. I'd rather eat modern food in moderation, excercise enough to feel good and live into and past my 70's. Maybe even a spot of alcohol from time to time ;-)
Hey, but that's just me.

I only eat organic non-processed meat, almost never beef. Usually pork and chicken.

Not safe for work
I love beef and buy it from an organic butcher nearby. Instead of buying ground beef, I buy roasts and grind it myself. Much tastier and at least I know it's beef and not squiddgy guts gathered from the floor at the end of the day and labeled "ground beef".

Pink Slime is not bad for you, its not dangerous, Its just not what you were paying for. Its like buying a 100% wool suit and finding its 20% polyester.

A. "How do I know it is pink slime? I don't. But I do know that the meat matches every description of pink slime." Let's get a proper understanding of this. Pink slime is not a type of meat. Pink slime is an additive that is mixed into some beef.
B. In light of recent developments, I believe your 70% statistic is no longer valid. Since it became a hot topic, many stores have stopped selling beef containing the additive. Indeed, the largest producer of the additive recently announced it is closing three plants permanently:

C. It's not as if this is new. You have likely been eating it for a long time. So suggesting that pink slime is to blame doesn't sound warranted. And again, pink slime is not a type of beef. Sounds like you bought some rotten beef that may or may not have contained the addtive known as pink slime.
D. Anyone who would "play off" rotten smelling food--especially meat--is asking for trouble, especially if you got sick the night before.

After peaking in the late 20th century, the average is now declining due to higher rates of coronary artery disease, and cancer.
