Meat packing industry

A slew of new documentaries show some of the worst sides to people’s favorite meals: pigs, cows, and chickens shoved into tiny, filthy cages and left to maximize costs. This is due to the farming industry trying to expand their profits at the expense of animals. Since consumption of these animals and their products is necessary to healthy survival, there needs to be a middle-ground for people who support all living creatures but still want to be healthy…

The Jungle by Upton Sinclair is a testament to a string of sickening events that occurred in America during the early 19th century. These repulsive acts were a result of the rise of Industrialization, the massive influx of immigrants making their way from various countries in order to pursue the American Dream. What these immigrants envisioned as the American Dream, was soon to become nothing more than the intoxicating fumes from all the waste set before them. In the course of the novel,…

“If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone in the world would be a vegetarian.” This is a quote by Linda McCartney and it could not be more true. People do not really think about what happens to farm animals in slaughterhouses in order to provide for our human needs. They give us with food, materials, and have even aided us in medicine. It is clear that animals are essential to human existence and therefore should be treated with respect, right? Well, in all reality, this is not the case,…

The average American citizen is expected to consume 222 pounds of meat in 2018 (Singh and Durisin, 2018). To produce this much meat, around 9 billion animals are killed yearly, with about one million slaughtered every hour. (Humane Society) You can only imagine the number of people it takes to slaughter these animals. However, we will never know the exact number, because many slaughterhouse workers are undocumented immigrants. Agriculturally, the U.S. makes a profit of about 2 Billion off of…

bit of insight into the foundations of a meat packing and poultry workers’ union. These “bloody aproned” workers had to come together to work to improve their current conditions. To put it plainly, these “conditions” were purely unacceptable and inhumane. Meat and poultry processing and packaging is the slaughtering, processing, packaging, and distribution of animals (i.e. pigs, sheep, cattle, chickens, turkey, and other miscellaneous livestock). This industry really brought up pace with…

But really it is a lot better for the pigs. The farmers are responsible with cutting of the antibiotics a certain amount of days before they go to market otherwise the packing house won’t take them because they aren’t good for the consumers. Farmers are also helping keep the pigs environment safe for them by having good water quality. They also are able to control the temperature in the building unlike if they are outside…

Therefore, lounge provides them a place not only for waiting and relaxing before and after the meetings but also gives them a suitable environment for having a meeting in the lounge. Moreover, family is another main customer because they can meet and have some small portion foods and drinks right after they check-in into a hotel. Ritz-Carlton Hotel’s Lounge (SF) is open 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, which mean they are operating every day. Thus, they can satisfy customers’ needs and…

factual evidence that the public is restricted to see regarding the production of meats in food industry. The documentary starts by showing how most food has a false reality reputation. For example, on most of the butter and meats packaging is pictures of an agrarian lifestyle with fresh farms and sunny skies. The “traditional pastoral fantasy” is all a myth. The actual way food is kept and produced in these industries is completely opposite than what the owners of the industry's want the public…

Veganism is the practice of eliminating all animal products (meat, fat, dairy, eggs, gelatin, etc.) altogether from your diet and instead decide to consume other foods high in protein, calories, and nutrients in its place. People become vegans for many reasons, the most popular being moral/ethical/religious beliefs or health benefits. However, in our modern day world, veganism has collected much controversy over many factors, one being its environmental practicality/sustainability, and another…

truth is vegetarians receive the necessary amount of daily nutrient. On average, adults are recommended to intake forty-six to fifty-six grams of protein daily. Those numbers may appear difficult to reach, especially for someone that does not ingest meat. Despite the challenge, research from The Center of Disease Control and Prevention has proven that “with some planning, a vegetarian diet can easily meet the recommended protein needs”. The key for the proper intake of protein is methodically…
