...i truly wish i could remember the name of the book, but there was something released in the 20s or 30s that described the workings of slaughter-houses and I believe it helped lead to FDA standards and so forth...either way, i have not read this book, nor will until i am ready to give up my heart-killing ways...when that happens, i will read the books my sisters gave me on macrobiotics, proper eating, etc....

i read this review of the book...thought it was hysterical:

Bob Dobb, A reviewer, June 27, 2003,

I'm a McDonald's Manager...

...and this book is misleading. McDonald's merely gives the public a choice of food, healthy and less healthy. It's wrong to believe the public is forced to eat the less healthy, because both are available. McDonald's and others simply give the public what they've shown an inclination to buy, as well as offer healthy choices. It's a free market, and if McDonald's didn't do it, someone would. I really...wait,...oh God, what the..ach!..pain - warm tingle in my arm..I'm having a heart attack!...It's from snacking on all those fries while I'm working...I couldn't help it, they were just so convenient,..ack! ugh...XXXX

:laugh:
