I have toured may of he meat packing plants in the Philly area. All were very clean and interesting to watch. Even saw them making scrapple and hot dogs. I eat it all, and have no problem with it. This video in no way is repulsive, it made me hungry!
Of course it's made that way. Im actually very impressed at the cleanliness and attention paid by the factory. It makes me want to eat at McDonald's even more. Supposedly their meat is even better that what most people eat at home. Just because it's done by a big machine doesn't mean its gross. It actually means more centralization and better quality control.
and you suppose the coke you drink and frozen foods you eat are made in a more pretty fashion? what about the gum and candy? and the chickens in the chicken farms!
No matter how gross it may seem, seeing even the most humane slaughterhouse would turn a stomach upside down. Most of us naively forgot and have no idea how food gets to our plate.
But seriously, I've lived on a farm for most of my life. My parents used to raise a head of beef every year and had it butchered. Wasn't that bad except my Mom won't eat veal anymore....
How else did you think a dead chopped up, minced up cow would look? I'd be interested to see anyone make a burger from start to finish look any better. All things considered, the process doesn't look half bad. If you can't handle the fact your Bic Mac moo'd once upon a time, and it's name was Jersey, then maybe u shouldn't be eating it in the first place :)
@LordGriffin: I used to work in a butcher shop and that facility appears to be absolutely immaculate. I'm surprised they even use a metal detector to prevent metal bits from the machines getting into the meat. It might be an eye opener for anyone who hasn't seen meat processing before but just imagine what the slaughterhouse looks like! Everyone should kill, skin, dress and eat at least one animal by themselves. There's be a whole lot more vegetarians...
@aurispector: This past fall, I had my arm, up to my shoulder, inside a nice big doe for the first time, as I learned how to field dress a deer. All I could think of was how good the deer sticks were gonna taste.
I have some Peeps stashed in my closet for the coming holiday and even though I tied the bag shut and closed the door, I hear them calling.....those and the Reese Cup eggs.
Peeps are sacred and delicious. Retract this heresy (and see a doctor about your taste buds). "Peeps taste like the foam rubber inside a Temperpedic mattress."
@IvoryPaetus: Agreed. Peeps are pure deliciousness wrapped in soft, foamy, greatness. It's as simple as that and attempting to do anything other will not be stood for!
Went to college just down the road and was incredibly pissed when I found out that they didn't give tours. But the week after Easter brought 10ยข packages at least.

When he talks about testing for safety, it shows a man measuring a frozen patty with calipers as if it could be too big and someone could get hurt.
They didn't speak about the grade of meat that comes in, how lean it is, anything.

For chrissakes, it mickey d's. There's no way I could've afforded to drop a grand on my tele if it wasn't for their cheap, dirty food.
How I love it so.

No kidding! No one expects Fillet Mignon to be used in making big macs. I'm just glad it's really beef, and not soylent green! Or so they say...
