Meatless Butcher Store Analysis

729 Words3 Pages

Apparently one of the new trends for those trendy folks out in Minneapolis, Minn., is a meatless butcher shop. Yep, a meatless butcher shop that also has cheese-less cheese.
The Herbivorous Butcher, the first meatless butcher shop in the United States, opened its doors about a year ago, and has been selling meatless bologna, smoky barbequed ribs (doesn’t distinguish if they are beef or pork flavored), ham, bacon, filet mignon, chicken, pepperoni, and other fabricated treats to a multitude of customers. News footage showed customers lined up down the block when the shop opened.
The meat-free meats, according to the store’s website, are handmade in small batches and contain protein-rich ingredients like wheat gluten, yeast, soy, miso (which …show more content…

While many people opt for the vegan lifestyle because they disagree with animal agriculture — be it meat or dairy production — in my humble, and somewhat bias opinion, others who are going to the store, as well as other retail outlets across the nation that offer similar products, are standing in line for the exact thing they have been complaining about — “manufactured food products.” The products are just dressed up as something other than what they really are, so I guess it is the vegan equivalent of mystery meat.
When you boil it all down just about everything we consume has been “manufactured” in some way. I can remember manufacturing lots of food when I was a kid.
We manufactured butter just about every Saturday in old mayonnaise jars. We’d shake and roll the jars filled with fresh cream, skimmed from the raw milk that either an old Jersey or Guernsey cow manufactured, with a pinch of

    Before the food leaves the packing plant it must be tested and has to pass health codes and criteria so that they know it is safe to eat and buy from the shelves of the stores. All of the animals have to be cleared as healthy to use for packing and if not then they cannot be used to pack and send off to the stores. The government cracked down on the producing of food so when we look at the labels now we can tell that the chicken we bought is actually

    From the time man invented fire, animal meat has been a main part of the human diet. Meat, a product we get from other animals, is a primary source of our daily diet. Over time, we progressed from hunting with our bare hands to using tools, and then to guns, yet in the last century, machines were created to mass produce and process consumable livestock. We don’t even touch the meat ourselves until we are preparing it as a meal. The most common livestock we eat includes poultry, cattle and pigs, according to an article in Business Insider (2014).

  • Conscientious Meat Eater Analysis

    796 Words  | 4 Pages

    The article “Is It Possible to be a Conscientious Meat Eater,” written by Sunaura Taylor and Alexander Taylor, looked like a very convincing argument. “Is It Possible to be a Conscientious meat eater” discusses that processed meat is bad for the world, and how it affects us and our surrounding environments in a negative outcome. The one thing I enjoyed reading from this article was the supportive use of evidence through facts to support the author’s thesis statement. However I would argue that the authors, when writing this, didn’t do a thorough job on keeping the subject professional, detailed, unbiased, and citing the sources for their information.

    After I have read The Jungle by Upton Sinclair, I have really believed that it time for us to change how the meat, especially sausage, is made. Why is it that the meat we eat can be made with animals, even rats, running over it? I believe that more regulation should be put on the owners so that the meat is clean, without “...meat that had tumbled out on the floor...where the workers had tramped and spit..and thousands of rats would race about it.” (Doc. D) This is not a job that people would want to work at just because of the disgust.

    Sinclair says: “There would be meat stored in great piles in rooms; and the water from leaky roofs would drip over it, and thousands of rats would race about on it. It was too dark in these storage places to see well, but a man could run his hand over these piles of meat and sweep off handfuls of the dried dung of rats. These rats were nuisances, and the packers would put poisoned bread out for them; they would die, and then rats, bread, and meat would go into the hoppers together.” (Chapter 14). This quote tells how the meat was kept before it was sold to the people and that the company cared nothing about the health of others.

The industry provides more meat for their customers purely for profit. This causes the industry to be influenced to sell its meat, no matter the condition it is in. The disgusting context of the conditions America’s meat was put through was brought to light, thanks to “The Jungle” and the customers of these businesses were
