Food, Inc., the movie, begs to ask the question, "Where does my food come from?" If you've yet to see it, click here in an effort to escape the "ignorance-is-bliss" choke-hold.
In an effort to zone in on the food industry and the operations behind the to-go window, this recent story caught my attention, as reported from Examiner.com.
A 40-year-old woman has been found dead in a machine at a Southern California food processing plant that is a major supplier for McDonald's.
Los Angeles County sheriff's detectives report the body was found early Tuesday at Golden State Foods. While investigators believe her death was accidental, no other details were released. While this doesn't mean the plant was in violation of any compliance terms or that food was contaminated in the process, it simply reiterated the question that can't be forgotten, "Where does your meat come from?"
As a long-time child-favorite, McDonald's was a weekly treat. Yet, as an adult, I had no clue Golden State Foods has been the maker of the Big Mac sauce since the 1960's,
After previewing Food, Inc. my finger is beginning to find a larger pulse on the food industry. This doesn't mean exiling meat from your diet and pledging to be a vegetarian. It just means taking a deeper look at what's on your plate before it gets there.

wow the women who died was no where near food she removed a empty box that was stuck
how can you get this spot on line . You are giving speculations and are way off big time. Do you know what a palletizer is? Yes, get more informed before writing. I know what happened but you are the one having ads paying for you to have this online so do your homework before you write.
Do some research before you spew garbage. How about you go "embark on your journey of knowledge" and then come back and write some articles, instead of the other way around. Its reported that thewoman was crushed by a palletizer and not near any food, or meat that your so worried about.
Huh?
Thanks for the thoughtful feedback. As written above, the excerpted paragraph answers your concerns:
