      I genuinely think it's journalistic malpractice to megaphone this type of shit with no context

      There is like no way in hell officials would ever, ever, ever come out and say "All beef is fucked actually lmao", it's kind of your job to get them there, should it be required

      look bud that was over people eating weird things, like bats, here we're just feeding the cows bird shit, and then we eat the cows. That's just the circle of life.

      me neither. I worked in a pork plant once upon a time. The QA consisted of two people who stayed in their air conditioned office all day long and would make their 2 daily checks by not even entering our area, but just reaching in the door, grabbing the checklist, initialling everything, and putting it back on the wall then sauntering on to the next area.

      also, every goddamned bacon is the same goddamned thing. we literally just changed the packaging/branding several times as the bacon came down the line. The only difference was thick vs thin cut, but the rest was just the packaging changing. Same for basically all of the products. Spiral hams, diced ham, sliced ham. It's all the same goddamn pigs but in different brands.

        I like how The Jungle portrayed this. Every processed meat was the same horrific mix of tuberculosis pigs, scraps that fell through the floor, and the body parts of Lithuanian workers.

          I read that book years after I worked in that pork plant... it blew my mind how nothing has really changed much.

    My "tainted meat did not enter the commercial food supply" t-shirt is raising a lot of questions already answered by my shirt

    I'm not actually a hexbear user I just have my pronouns in the same brackets so people assume I am, so I don't think I can post emoji so if someone could post the vegan btw one in a reply to me I'd really appreciate it.
