Sorry if you just ate dinner, but this is worth the read. Especially if you have kids who eat school lunches, or eat them yourself: USDA recalls 143 million pounds of frozen beef - CNN.com       |

I heard about this. And it came from a producer involved in a lot of animal cruelty.  It's a terrible waste. All those cows had to die for nothing..... Anybody know what happens to all that recalled beef? I've been wondering that- like how do they dispose of it all? |

Wiggley...I'm the most fussy eater ever...have been since I was a baby, want to hear something so stupid? When I was 14 I took about 50 mins to try a bean and was nearly in tears lmao  ! I despise vegetables but it's still easy being a vegetarian with Quorn etc but it's weird because since I've become a vegetarian I have actually begun to like some vegetables and enjoy eating baby carrots - my favourite, they are sweet. Anyway this article is really disgusting. Eurgh I have eaten meat in schools before x[ can't imagine what was in that! It tasted horrible anyway. |

I hear that there is a Youtube video about the recall, but that it is not for the squeamish. I have no desire to see it (what I have read has been distressing enough, and I have a puking toddler tonight so my stomach is at its limit already) but maybe some brave soul could seek it out and link it for those who want to see it. |

Seeing it on the news last night made me cry. I cannot understand how anybody could be so cruel to a helpless animal. I hope it causes the plant to shut down. |

I saw the video at least a week ago on here and it is horrible. The poor cows were being pushed around by forklifts and being prodded and kicked. One poor cow had a rope around 1 leg and they were dragging it to the slaughter. If you have a weak stomach I wouldn't watch it. I wish I hadn't. |
