Title: Industrial poultry about to get even crappier — literally

One of the most quoted lines from Eric Schlosser’s now famous book, Fast Food Nation, comes from the chapter about pathogens in ground beef. Without mincing words, he wrote: “There is shit in the meat.”

Well, that phrase may be relevant again if the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) moves forward with plans to privatize part of its meat and poultry inspection program.

Under the current rules, the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is responsible for inspecting all chicken and turkey carcasses for things like bruises, bile, and yes, shit, before they’re sent for further processing. The proposed HACCP-Based Inspection Models Project (HIMP) would remove those USDA inspectors from the lines, leaving poultry plant employees, who already stand in a fast-moving, I-Love-Lucy-style line, to flag unsanitary or otherwise flawed birds.

snip

Rumor has it that the HIMP program could begin as early as October (the current comment period goes through April 26). And, according to Hitt, there’s already a similar pilot program in place for pork production. So this might only be the beginning of a larger meat industry trend.

As gross as all this shit-in-the-meat talk may be, it’s not just for shock value. It’s a matter of food safety. As Hitt puts it: “[Food inspectors] used to ask, ‘Would I put that on my family’s table?’ That was the standard. Now the standard is, ‘Will it kill you?’”

Of course. That's always an issue, and it's why you're supposed to cook hamburger until there's no pink in it, anywhere.

This is part-and-parcel of food preparation. Why is this news? Oh, it's not... just trying to dredge up something new, that you can rally the know- nothing leftists to bitch about...

I've been of the opinion that 90% of American women belong either chained to the bed-post or the kitchen sink. You certainly don't fit in either. In your case, it'd be a lawn-mower.

If you want to eat poop, you should have the freedom to do so.

Who is this guy kidding? There's plenty of ways to butcher animals without getting feces smeared all over them. Of course it takes care and preparation.

You dare to contradict Eric?

Eric wants us to believe eating shit is normal and to be expected. If you get sick, well it's your own fault.
