1. Meat Chew on this - Chapter 6

2. Beginning Now we are going to tell you the story of meat. To show you the family who take cares of their cattle ranch . Emily grew up on a cattle ranch in south of Colorado Springs, Colorado. When she was little, her dad like to take her along as he did chores on the ranch. Emily and her sister, Maggie were taught from an early age to work hard, to be fearless and independent. Their mom knew a lot about running a cattle ranch . After they father died, the girl have to learn how to throw a lasso and sort cattle in another, how to drive a four - wheeler. There was a pregnant cow acting crazy. It was snorting, feeling confused and in pain. Two of the calf's legs were already sticking out and dangling in the air, but the body somehow stuck. Emily and Maggie calmly persuaded the cow and make the cow feel less pain. By that time, the temperatures way below zero. They both nervously watched as a neighbor helped pull the calf out safely... The mother cow and her baby survived successfully. Even they were somethings that both them can't do it, they never give up or say :' No, I can't do it '. Emily and her family love to enjoy the cattle ranch life.

3. Mccannibals Norah Smith raise chicken in West Virginia. Like the farmers who supply for Tyson, she never owns the birds in her chicken houses. Most of the time, the company drops off day - old chicks at her farm and come backs with a truck a little more than a month later to take the chickens to the slaughterhouses. She can't feed or take care them by her way but the company tells her what to do. They even sending over supervisors to make sure she's doing everything in the way they want it. The company don't let she control the prices she want . She thought raising chickens might able to make her and her husband a comfortable life. She worked so hard to pay her husband health insurance. The chickens that she raise never know what is ' foods outside ' look like. They been feed often made out of whatever inexpensively. Sometimes they were eat the meat, fat, blood, and bones leftover of a chicken. Grass always in chicken dreams ! In 1965 chickens gained three and a half pounds during two months. Some chickens grow such big breasts , they have a hard time to walk. Chicken's also develop heart problems . They big & fat and no chance to exercise. Norah has been surprised lately by how many of her birds are having a heart attacks. She found out that there a thick layer of fat around the heart. She collects the dead birds and uses them as compost.

4. Don't complain When a worker is badly injured, a government agency called the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to wrote a report on the cause of the accident. The titles of some OSHA report on meatpacking injuries give a sense of the dangers that confront workers every day : Burned by hot solution in Tank, one employee's killed, eight injured by ammonia spill, etc. Serious accidents don't happen everyday. Hundreds of workers - about half of them women, all of them young and Latino, sliced meat with a long knives. They grabbed meat off a conveyor belt, trimmed away fat ... they have to do that all in a matter of seconds. Each worker had a large knives. Even the room were about forty degrees but many of the workers were sweating . They try to focus on what they doing , you can hear the silence, nobody smiling or chatting . Cuts are the most common injuries suffered by meatpacking workers, who often stab themselves or accidentally stab someone nearby.In the days when labor unions were strong, meatpacking workers could complain but some of them don't belong to a union or don't like to complain. Most of the workers are immigrants, who can't speak English or maybe illegal in United States. Once you complain,they can fired you without warning, for just any reason.

5. Run Chicken are pretty dumb. Cattle are smarter, and pigs are rather intelligent. The truth is pigs are even smarter than dogs. To what people think, they like being clean and roll in the mud only on hot days to cool themselves off. Thousands of year, pigs have been raised by farmers, allowed to roam outdoors until it's time to be turned into bacon, pork, or ham. Twenty years later, pigs have been raised indoors at giant hog factories that look like prisons than farms. They even can't walk or turn around . Piglet are taken away from their mother at the age of three weeks - about three month earlier than usually . The pens are so crowded that the piglets , start biting each other's tails . The worker have to cut the tails off . Scientist have a little idea what pig, cows and chicken might be thinking as they head to their deaths at a slaughterhouses, You can tell when cattle are frightened : they tend to bellow. The slaughterhouses are designed to keep cattle quiet and make them feel relaxed. While most of livestock never know that they're about to come a pieces of meat, every so often an animal seems to know exactly what's going on. At the slaughterhouses in England, two pigs were just run away from being killed.

6. Mr. McDonald's breasts This slideshow show how Chicken McNuggets were found.Many cattle ranchers now fear that the beef industry is deliberately being changed to operate like the chicken industry. The ranchers don't want to face the problem like chicken growers- largely powerless , trapped by debt, by strict contracts written by the meatpacking companies. The companies have move almost all of their chicken product to the rural South, where funding less expansive. The Chicken McNugget turned a birds into something that could easily be eaten behind the wheel of a car. The idea come from the chairman of McDonald's. The supplier, an executive at Keystone Foods join in a group of researches by food scientists from McDonald's. The nation's chicken meat had traditionally been provided by hens who had grown too old to lay eggs. Most chicken farm were small in the early twentieth. Raising chicken to be eat and raise hens to lay eggs become two separate businesses. After a months of intensive research, The Keystone Foods lab open new technology for the manufacture of McNuggets - small pieces of ground up chicken with edible paste, breaded, fried, frozen and then reheat.

7. Cook it well In January 1993, a hospital notice that an unusual number of children were being admitted with bloody diarrhea. They suddenly found out that the sick children eaten undercooked hamburgers. The cause of the sickness is from the E.coli O157:H7 bacteria- severe food poisoning . Seven hundred people in four states were sickened by Jack in the Box hamburgers , nearly two hundred people were hospitalized and four died. In the other case it from McDonald’s , dozens of children were sickened by contaminated hamburgers. More and more people around United States died because of this danger bacteria. Where does that bacteria come from ? It come from the meatpacking system, an entire industry molded to serve their needs, to provide gigantic amounts of uniform ground beef so that all McDonald’s hamburgers would taste the same - that efficient system for spreading disease. Even those slaughterhouse does that but the Government can't do anything to stop the problem. E.coli O157:H7 can live in cattle troughs and survive in cattle manure for up to ninety day.
