  1. Feedlots and E. Coli
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    Published: 2009
    Improving processing plant inspections is a good idea, but it is only part of the solution. The real solution is minimizing the potential contaminant. Secondly, slow down the processing line so the workers can do their jobs. CDC tells people to wash their hands, their cutting boards and to cook meat thoroughly. Good sound suggestions, but why is the burden of safety inordinately placed on the consumer? Why are the processors allowed to hide behind the “safe handling instructions” and maximize their profits with impunity?
  2. Meat: A Benign Extravagance
    Resource Type: Book
    Published: 2010
    An exploration of the difficult environmental and ethical issues that surround the human consumption of animal flesh.
  3. Strong Meat
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    Published: 2010
    The meat-producing system Simon Fairlie advocates differs sharply from the one now practised in the rich world: low energy, low waste, just, diverse, small-scale. But if we were to adopt it, we could eat meat, milk and eggs (albeit much less) with a clean conscience.
