What do we we want!? MEAT! How do we want it? SANITARY!

   Meanwhile, in "modern" farms, hard workers spend hours butchering cows, pigs, and chickens. While this occurs, us humans buy the meat that has been processed. We season the meat, cook it in however we desire and we serve the meal to to our family or friends. Yes we enjoy the meal, but do we ever ask ourselves, is our meat sanitary? What goes on in these modern farms is very disturbing. A muckraker  Upton Sinclair, mentioned in his article called The Jungle (1906), "There would be meat that had tumbled out on the floor, in the dirt and sawdust, where the workers had tramped and spit uncounted billions of consumption germs" Ewwww like that's totally gross! But noticed that this was reported in 1906. Has anything changed? Well yeah probably but not for the better. Workers in today's society has worked in pools of blood, abused the animals by putting them in cramped spaces, injected them with steroids and fed them CORN. Now let tell you about corn. One of the products that farms produced which led to our not so sanitary meat is CORN. According to the FOOD inc. film, modern farms over produce corn to fed the animals.One of reason being is mainly to make the animals bigger. But unfortunately, these animals are not designed to eat corn and it led to a disastrous bacteria the we call E-coli. E-coli is in our meat and is also spread throughout other food products like tomatoes, lettuce, and so on. Now does that make our meat sanitary? I'll give that a grade F!!!

  1. I completely agree with you 100%. The way the animals, that we consume, definitely is not being treated with the best care. They are giving corn which they can't digest properly. Did you know that the way the animals are treated can also affect the people who eat it. US ! Being that there are so many cows and they are kept all together they use the bathroom on themselves and each other. According to Food Inc it says that sometimes the cows being knee deep in their own feces. DISGUSTING ! They end up eating it when it is feeding time for the poor soon to be cheeseburgers. :(
