USDA Orders Nation’s Largest Beef Recall

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The U.S. Department of Agriculture on Sunday ordered the recall of 143 million pounds of frozen beef from a California slaughterhouse, the subject of an animal-abuse investigation, that provided meat to school lunch programs.

Officials said it was the largest beef recall in the United States, surpassing a 1999 ban of 35 million pounds of ready-to-eat meats.

    A slaugherhouse is being investigated for animal abuse? That implies two things: 1. that what a normal slaughterhouse does is NOT considered abusive, and 2. that this slaughterhouse is doing way worse things than the others.

    This world sucks. Why am I still alive? I need to grow a pair and just end it. This world is seriously fucked.

    You’re right, it is fucked, but if you leave, there will be one less person that “gets it.” We need everyone.
