Slaughterhouses and Processing

In this article, the author talks about slaughterhouses and food saftety. 80% of all of the courties meat supply comes from four top companies, and since they are so large, the government can do little to keep an eye on them. Since the companies are so large, it is easier for the meat to become infected with E. Coli, Salmonella and other animal-related diseases. The author also explains the horrible conditions these slaughthouses are in and how dirty and unsafe they are for the workers. Since the slaughterhouses are so filthy, it explains how many people become sick andeven die to the contaminated meats.
