Disgusting.

If you buy and cook a ham and slice it and put it in the freezer, it'll cost you like 30 cents a sandwich and be way healthier than this pre-packaged shit. Same goes for roast beef, that $40 sirloin may look expensive but if it makes 50 sandwiches you are ahead of the game.

Personally, I would have to shoot up just to work in a slaughterhouse or meat packing factory.

One day, when I'm bored, I'll have to compose a lengthy post about the time that I went on an intensive tour of a slaughterhouse/meat packing factory as part of a job that I used to have. It was interesting, but I'm certainly not in a hurry to go back and do it again.

i can't imagine what that must be like as a job. a farmer i know makes a big almost social deal of slaughtering a bunch of chickens. other farmers and even customers come to help. he explained this by pointing out that if everyone does it for a little while, that means nobody has to do it all the time.

maybe schneiders could have a new slogan...

"we kill animals all the time so that you will never have to."

eeeh.

i feel really badly for the pigs involved. the poor bastards gave their lives to make defective packaged ham.

RIP piggies.
