Meat Packing

Meat Packing
Most people naturally assume we can trust what is being put into our meat and how it is being prepared. However, this is not the case. The meat packing industry has been taking a lot of heat recently because word is getting out about the treatment of the animals and the numerous chemicals used. Last year, Tyson had a massive recall on their chicken products because of an outbreak of salmonella (foodsafetynews.com). This is just one issue surrounding the meat industry. Not only is the industry harmful on the animals, but also on the workers themselves.
