I'm currently reading "Fast food nation" by Eric Schlosser. It was written a few years ago now, but is still pertinant, unless the practices, figures and statistics revealed in book have been somehow reversed over the last 5 years, which I very much doubt.
Preaching to the converted a bit I suppose, as I've been a vegetarian now for about 15 years, but I'd recommend it to anyone.
Oh, and the reference to "Shit"?
Nope. It's not a euphemism. There is shit in hamburgers. The stuff roses like to grow in. To maximise profits, line speeds at slaughterhouses are kept high, and partly because of this, contamination occurs.
There's a lot more, and in much greater detail. I suggest you read it for yourselves, although Reagan admirers might wish to dismiss this out of hand.
I mean hey, it's only shit, right?
