From the PETA Files:
A meat processing plant in British Columbia found itself in deep doo-doo after a whistleblower let it slip that the company had covered up test results that found dangerous E. coli in a product sample. E. coli resides in animals’ intestinal tracts and ends up in meat when—and there’s no nice way to put this—their guts are ripped open during slaughter and their feces spill out onto their flesh, contaminating it.
Isn’t it about time? Go vegan.
