    in the secret garden by frances hodgson burnett, getting fatter, for children, is a good thing. and, for pigs on a farm, in general, it is a great thing!

    In traditional plants, as many as seven federal inspectors work on the processing line, handling hog carcasses and checking for defects.

    Under the new system, that number will be reduced to two or three federal inspectors who have more experience but who will have limited hands-on interaction with the carcasses.

    Instead, the plant’s own employees will be checking and sorting the hog carcasses and letting the federal inspectors, called consumer safety inspectors, check their work from a distance. There is no required federal training for those employees.

    Finally, the federal limit on line speed — or the rate at which hog carcasses can be moved for processing and inspection — will be removed.

    “If this continues across the nation, when you open your package of meat, what you’re gonna get for a pathogen is gonna be a mystery,” Mauer said.

    Potential defects, according to Mauer, include feces, sex organs, toenails, bladders and unwanted hair.

    She and other inspectors claim plant employees with little experience or training are doing minimal checking and sorting in an effort to maintain line speeds and keep plant owners happy.

    I have lost weight this year. Part of it was behaving, the other part was a stomach virus which lasted long enough to make my stomach shrink. I’ve worked hard not to stretch it so I feel full much sooner.

    This will likely piss everybody off, but here goes. Pig is doing his bit to combat man-made global warming, by sequestering carbon in his body.

    Pig better beware of his weight gain. To much gain and he may be reclassified as a Hog. Then he might become a candidate for that favorite southern dish of “hogs butt and hominy.”
