Schlosser, Eric. "(9)what`s in the Meat." Fast Food Nation. 218-221 print.
USDA is responsible for the distribution of meat products to school cafeterias throughout the United States. The National School Lunch program`s meat suppliers are chosen by USDA. USDA made their decision based on lowest price. These meats are always questionable why it is so cheap. Answer is quite simple the meat contains pieces of spinal cord, bone and left over’s those are stuck on the meat recovery system in the factories. Throughout the time USDA, switch their suppliers from one to another. Some known suppliers as listed:
(i) The Cattle King Packing Company.
(ii) The Bauer Meat Company.
(iii) Northern States Beef (A Subsidiary of ConAgra).
(iv) Supreme Beef Processors.
All these suppliers have the background violation of contaminations of meat with pathogens, E. coli, Salmonella. In the late 1983 cattle king`s packing was infested with rats, cockroaches and it was found that they were also packing meats of animals which came dead to the factory. Even USDA once declared in 1998 against Bauer meat products “unfit for human consumption” and 6 million pounds of meat were detained. On 1999 supreme beef processor who supplies 45 percent of meat products to the school, their 47 percent meat infected with salmonella. The main point is USDA knowing the consequence what might the outcomes going to come approves these distributions. Inspections are needed to be done prior time not after the products on market. Risking the life and health of people and doing the recalls later do not make any sense.
The format of this post is confusing, and the post is not developed enough to give the reader a sense of your ideas or to make those ideas seem like they're grounded in our reading for today. That's probably why no one else has commented.
