The World Health Organization (WHO) found 3.3 million deaths in 2012 were attributed to alcohol consumption. And recently, a comparative assessment published in Scientific Reports found alcohol to be 114 times more deadly than marijuana.
We're talking 3.3 Million deaths in one year just from alcohol period. Alcohol is way more dangerous than Marijuana. The amount of weed of you'd have to consume to even get to the point of death is unfathomable.
there are currently no reported deaths from simply smoking weed. The Huffington Post cited “a marijuana smoker would have to consume 20,000 to 40,000 times the amount of THC in a joint in order to be at risk of dying.”
No one on record have ever died from smoking. So, why is it considered a deadly drug?
Then they cut wages, they cut benefits, broke unions. And now it has one of the highest turnover rates of any industrial job.
Just like every other job, they lowered their pay,gave them benefits and basically didnt care about their workers.
Work in a slaughterhouse has changed enormously in the last 25 years. It's always been a difficult job. It's always been a dangerous job. But up until recently, this was a job that had good pay, had good benefits, and you had a very stable work force.
What changed for the workers in the slaughterhouse?
This essentially injects a metal bolt. It's about the size and length of a thick pencil into its brain, right between the eyes, and that should render the animal brain dead. At that point, chains will be attached to his rear legs. He will be lifted up by the chains. The chains are attached to an overhead trolley, and then he will be bled. Another person in another station will stick a long knife in and cut his aorta and bleed the animal. And then he will be completely dead.
This is how it works. I don' think its right honestly but it is how we get our food so,i have to deal with it.

If enough people complain about this problem, the USDA might get moving on it. The guidelines are a good first step.
People should have been complaining about the issue years ago.
The USDA licenses so few slaughterhouses, and the rules for establishing them are so onerous, that humanely raised (if that is the correct term) animals have to be trucked hundreds of miles to considerably less humane commercial facilities to be killed (see added note below). Furthermore, appointments for slaughter must be made many months or years in advance — whether the animals are ready or not.
Why would the USDA not make it a point to licenses slaughterhouses? Why would anyone want to go through the process of booking a place for their animals to be slaughtered in a bad place?
Moreover, there is also the high risk of contamination with food poisoning micro-organisms, such as Salmonella and enterohaemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC), which should be taken very seriously. EHEC infections of humans can occur with relatively low bacterial numbers of the relevant type of E. coli.
So basically with the different slaughter houses if the dint do their job correctly this can happen.
Figs. 2 and 3 show cattle slaughtering entirely carried out on the ground, in many cases followed by carcass splitting, cutting and deboning on the same contaminated floor area. Bovine slaughtering on the floor is a major source of meat contamination.
It says that putting a carcass on the floor while working on it is one of the major reasons why meat get contaminated. and what are they doing?
it is still fact that the bulk of the meat sold within many APHCA-member countries most likely originates from unhygienic slaughtering and meat handling.
That's about twelve countries that are giving out bad meat from horrible shipping and slaughtering

I don't even know what that is.
Although schools can now get six cents more per lunch to help cover the cost of more fruits, vegetables and whole grains to meet new requirements, the increase doesn’t cover all the changes, she notes.
Six cents! That isn't even a piece of candy at some corner stores. Fruits and Vegetables don't change the fact that were still eating unhealthy meat.
Lean finely textured beef brings down the cost of ground beef by about 3 percent
Clearly it saves money, but is it really worth it?
As of Sept. 3, seven states put in orders to the USDA for about 2 million pounds of beef that may contain the controversial product for the meals they serve in the 2013-14 school year.
Clearly the schools don't care about our health because they keep ordering this product.
Thousands of schools across the U.S. rushed last year to stop feeding their students meat that contained the ammonia-treated beef, known by industry as lean finely textured beef.
I don't believe that it really matters now, we've been eating that stuff for years. Only the younger kids will benefit honestly.

obviously fresher foods that are grown on better soils are going to have more nutrients. But people are not nutrient-deprived.
If you grow fruits and vegetables in rich moist soil it will be better nourished. It will be malnourished and won't have all the minerals and nutrients needed for the human body.
So would Marion Nestle, as a dietician, as one of America’s most important critics of dietary policy, advocate for local eating? “Absolutely.”
Marion Nestle, a dietitian, completly agrees that the Locavore Movement is the right way to go!
Food begins to lose nutrition as soon as it is harvested. Fruit and vegetables that travel shorter distances are therefore likely to be closer to a maximum of nutritio
Food that is delivered within a 100 mile radius is always more healthy because it doesn't lose its nutrients as fast; Versus food that is delivered from far away places.
