McDonald's Removes "Pink Slime"

McDonald's Bows to Pressure From Chef Jamie Oliver, Removes "Pink Slime" From Burgers

Now see here's the thing, I looked at the ingredients of a big mac and pink slime is not listed. They've agreed to take it out so it must have been there.

So my questions are thus

1) What else is in a McDonalds Burger that is in it but not declared?

2) Why the freakin barking hell do they use vegetarian cheese? It's a DEAD COW BURGER! What kind of vegetarian says "well i don't mind a bit of ground up cow armpit but I'm not going to buy it if the cheese is made with cow sick!"???
