    In the reading, William Cronon describes a society in the late nineteenth century dominated by the meat packing industry. In order to get this way, the cultures across America had to adapt to the much more efficient meat dressings. In this sense, it was the new technologies of refrigerator cars and “disassembly” lines that influenced the change of culture, known as technological determinism. Before the new technologies were developed, meat packing was a slow process met with many health problems. Meat was difficult to transport long distances, and unkempt meat in warm conditions carried infectious bacteria.…

    Most scandals in industries are never brought to life. People are paid very well to keep things hushed up and out of the public eye. If we knew what really went down in most big companies, the loss of business would be deleterious to the profit margin, and that is the last thing CEOs want. However, once in a blue moon some brave soul steps in and sees the problem, and they know they have to tell the world what is going on. My Year of Meats by Ruth Ozeki demonstrates how the use of hormones in the meat industry affects the women and men who both consume the products as well as come into contact with them through other means.…

    “You’ll never leave” is carved faintly into the brick wall of the small jail cell, probably from its last guest. Every day, I started to believe the phrase more and more. I lay on the uncomfortable cot, pretending to be asleep. I’m lonely, but I’m not alone. I can hear him breathing and slowly flipping the pages of the newspaper; I assume it’s…

    I have moved away from eating red meat, so my burger is more of a chicken philly. Growing up I never even heard of a chicken-philly, in New Mexico, because we eat a Spanish/Mexican style of cuisine. We ate spicy variations of chicken and beef, as burritos or enchiladas, and not your traditional American grill food. Since, I have lived on the East-Coast for over twenty years, I have become accustom too many different style of food. For example, Southern, Cuban, New York Pizza, Chicago Pizza, and Philadelphia, are many of those types of cuisine that I have enjoyed.…

    On March 13, 1900, the severed body parts of Ernst Winter were found, neatly packaged and distributed around the small Polish town of Konitz. Two days earlier, Ernst Winter was brutally murdered; his blood was drained from his body while each of his limbs were cut with a sawblade. The townspeople quickly made two assumptions about the murder: the murderer must’ve been Jewish because of the drained blood and the murderer must’ve been a butcher because of the incredibly precise incisions. This presumptuous criterion led directly to Adolph Lewy, the only Jewish butcher in Konitz. Staying true to their inherent prejudice, the common-people of Konitz associated the murder with a blood libel, which was a barbaric Jewish practice of ritually slaughtering Christian children and baking matzo with their blood.…
