When i saw the dude spit on the hamburger, I know I was in for trouble.
It is sad to see how the exec sold out and just went along to protect his livelihood when he knew there was something wrong going on.
I lived nine years next to these CAFOs - Controlled Animal Feed Operations. The flies were so bad that you could not go out at night. This was in town! When those West Texas winds whipped across the prairies in the Summer, you knew that wasn't dirt getting in your mouth. 50 pounds of p*ss and sh*t a day from each cow. Where i lived, we fed one million cows a year - 25% of the beef sold in the country. That's a lot of sh*t! The conditions in the meat packing plants were true. We had them and they did have constant accidents due to pushing the lines. It is a shame that we have people risking their lives to get these kinds of jobs because it makes their lives so much better.
Bruce Willis says to just cook it and you'll be all right. I am not so sure anymore.
