Meat is processed under unsanitary conditions.
It has been described as the second most regulated industry in the nation, next to nuclear energy. Every meat product sold at the retail or food service level must first have been inspected by either a federal or state inspector before it is allowed to enter the food chain. Penicillin and tetracycline are fed indiscriminately to cattle and hogs. Livestock cannot eliminate therapeutic levels of drugs from their bodies. The Food and Drug Administration tests the length of time a drug remains in cattle, sheep and hogs.
