From my old home state of North Carolina comes a six-part expose on the poultry industry, documenting the lives of North Carolina’s 28,000 poultry workers. Editor Rick Thames kicks off the series with a searing editorial that compares these workers, mostly illegal immigrants with few rights, to the South’s most notorious historical underclass. But it is not just the South that profits from this neo-slavery.

In a similiar vein and from my current state of residence comes bad news that schools all over Georgia have been buying their beef from Hallmark Meat Packing in Chino, CA via Westland Meat Co. You know the one, where the Humane Society has managed to get graphic footage (WARNING: Not for the squeamish) of workers at a California slaughterhouse using forklifts, high-pressure water sprays, wooden sticks, and electric shocks to get sick cattle up on their feet so they can pass USDA inspection and be processed into America’s food supply.

Abused workers, tortured sick animals in the food supply, lying scumbags getting rich doing it. It’s like a freaking third-world country over here. All the more reason to accelerate my transition to an entirely SOLE food diet…or get back to Europe with a quickness.
