There was something on the radio last week about american slaughterhouses. It mentioned The Jungle which I had never heard of, and explained that nearly a century later conditions are still tough for workers in some slaughterhouses. I did not hear the entire piece or the name of the more recent expose book which was under discussion. I have been searching for info on the book or the program without sucess, here and here are details of what I believe is a similar book. The radio piece was in discussion with a man who I believe was the author and that book related to the poorly paid ( migrant?) workers having to repetatively do the same job all day long with a very fast turn over of animals (six times faster than uk slaughterhouses)
If anyone knows of the book I would be interested
On the veggie thing I eat Fish, very rarely chicken and never meat from mammals (unless someone mixed a bit of beef into my veggie burger for a laugh). I don't have a problem with anyone else eating meat - horses, dogs, guinea pigs
