Fuck, this is so bad. All of this for what? How many pounds of flesh from those slaughtered animals are already going to waste? Increasing line speeds may lower prices (at the cost of immigrant laborers and their injuries) but it will greatly increase waste. This is really such a travesty. The US has an immense gift in that it’s climate and terrain is fruitful enough feed us at great surplus, yet we are stuck in what is this rapacious saturation curve where exponentially more devastation is implemented to extract a comparatively tiny amount of benefit. Our society is going to be doing this until something breaks.
