Cruising the news this morning, I see 38,000# of hamburger destined for the southeast US, from Canada has been recalled. That's only a couple truckloads, but wait, the blurb goes on to state it's "head meat". Is this common? Remove the meat from the skull and grind it into burger? Ummm, do the eyeballs go in a different pile? Ummm, does somebody remove the earwax before the ears are ground up? Nose boogers? Local butcher shop lookin' good. Good thing deFlavor has gone onto his reward, he would probably have some pretty caustic remarks on this.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

One 18 wheeler can haul about 45,000 pounds, max. 38,000 pounds would be a typical load for one truck.

McDonald's McDoubles come to mind... $1
TWO MEAT PATTIES, a bun, condiments, employee salary, rent, utilities, profit for the franchise owner...
Yeah... I suspect the meat is not +1
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

"If you ever watched them make sausage". Right ....... Ever eat wieners or bologna or any processed meat for that matter? Muscle is muscle no matter where it comes from and meat is muscle.

I had the occasion to work at the Oscar-Mayer processing plant in Chicago more than once in my 40 year electrical career. Each time I asked my wife to please not bring any of their products into our house, but I'm sure they're all the same. Only 2 jobs I ever refused, in my career, was some motor replacements in a through on a screw conveyor in a rendering plant and replacing a limit switch on the rake at a sewer treatment plant. Both jobs seemed about the same to me!

Dean, I was in industrial electrical contracting also.Logged many hours in a few chicken processing plants.The rendering rooms were akin to something of a nightmare.It wasn’t so much of the fact of getting the chit on you,but it was a long time before I wanted some chicken on my plate again.Same thing with eggs after some time spent in the rendering section of the hatchery.I guess it doesn’t bother some folks,but it changed my perspective on chicken dinners...

A lot of people used to eat brains...beef brains, pig brains, I don't think chickens have brains.
Modern Standard American Diet of the past 2 generations changed that. Small old time farmers were known to use about the whole carcass, kind of like the poor indians. Now there's Mad Cow Disease that makes it illegal in USA to sell the head IF I remember correctly. Some say its a hoax. I've not been convinced one way or another. One thing fer sure. The junk big feed lots feed cows is shameful and the meat processing plants will turn your stomach even if you butchered a hundred deer.

At one time my service area included two Purdue chicken processing plants and several hatchery's. The processing plant itself was something but the rendering operation about a half mile behind it was something to behold in the summer time. By rendering, I mean where they cook down everything they couldn't sell. I was told most of the "product" went right back into feed. Back then it was mostly blacks employed, but even then the Mexicans were starting be hired in good numbers, late 80's-early 90's. Never stopped eating chicken but did start cleaning up with bleach after cutting them up.
