Tim, have you seen this article? 'They Die Piece by Piece' In Overtaxed Plants, Humane Treatment of Cattle Is Often a Battle Lost washingtonpost.com Linked there is a previous article you'll appreciate: An Outbreak Waiting to Happen Beef-Inspection Failures Let In a Deadly Microbe washingtonpost.com My understanding is that the meatpacking underwent a sea change in the 80's, with the rise of IBP. I remember a TV newsmagazine story about how meatpacker's wages were halved at the same time the production line speeds were doubled. Of course, it's still probably a better business to be working in than chicken processing. Good to see you back on SI.
