Slaughterhouses
"You don’t have to eat meat to survive"
Re: “Meat industry is trying to get back to normal, but workers are still getting sick”: [May 25, Nation}: Instead of intensifying the debate between accelerating the reopening of slaughterhouses against the well-being of workers and their families, we should ask ourselves if an industry that treats its employees no better than the animals it slaughters-cramped and expendable-is worth keeping around at all. This debate becomes all the more absurd when we consider the fact that humans do not need meat to survive and thrive. What are these people dying for? Would we demand the same sacrifice to keep our beloved Twinkies assembly line open?

I read letters. For over 30 years (still remember the first letter I wrote) I have been a member of this club and have written hundreds of letters many, of which, were published.

I know at least one woman who'd demand the Twinkies line remain open. 
Addiction to sugar is a powerful thing.
I'm not sure meat eating is the same but the economics of the production of animal meat has many lobbyists with lots of money.
It is a further extension of the plantation mentality. IMHO

I think people can get addicted to anything (like agnostic). To hear the comments from meat eaters there can be little doubt.
