While carefully cleaned and fresh (or prepared from fresh stuff clean enough to not require aggressive chemicals to disinfect it) entrails are perfectly good food (they can even be a delicacy), that ugly processed stuff should be used only as low grade pet food. Two examples: best quality fresh tripe isn't bleached and is washed so well to not have any bad smell; carefully washed pig bowels are not only used as sausage casings, but spiced, cured, slightly smoked and dried they can become a sausage themselves (typical of umbria, Italy). Stuff that needs the aggressive treatment of pink slime indicates that the base ingredients have terribly low quality and were at some stage in horrible hygienic conditions.
