These are the ultimate in disposable workers. If you look at the line speeds in Australia, Australia is just a huge exporter of beef. It's a huge beef country. In Western Europe, in the Netherlands, it's like 70 cattle per house. And some of that may be due to better technology, but a lot of it is just due to the workers who have no ability to protest against the speed of the line.
Fast food is such a big part of American life.
You report that one of every four Americans eats fast food daily. I'm deludedly optimistic. I certainly would not have bothered writing the book if I didn't believe that there's enormous potential for change. Take genetically engineered foods, which are such a big issue for many activists. And yet the recent decision by McDonald's not to buy any more genetically engineered potatoes just about wiped out the market for Monsanto New Leaf potatoes.
