Fast Food Nation

Two people close to me have recently had a decline in health. Both were people I thought were very healthy. Because of this, I've started to read some interesting books.
Here is a smidge of "Fast Food Nation". It's pretty tame compared to the rest of the book...

"A brief description of some cleaning-crew accidents over the past decade says more about the work and the danger than any set of statistics. At the Monfront plant in Grand Island, Nebraska, Richard Skala was beheaded by a dehiding machine. Carlos Vincente-an employee of T and G Service Company, a twenty-eight year old Guatemalan who'd been in the United States for only a week- was pulled into the cogs of a conveyer belt at an Excel plant in Fort Morgan, Colorado,and torn apart. Lorenzo Marin Sr., an employee of DCS Sanitation, fell from the top of a skinning machine while cleaning it with the high-pressure hose, struck his head on the concrete floor of an IBP plant in Columbus Junction, Iowa, and died. Another employee of DCS Sanitation, Salvador Hernandez-Gonzalez, had his head crushed by a pork-loin processing machine at an IBP plant in Madison, Nebraska. The same machine had fataly crushed the head of another worker, Ben Barone, a few years earlier. At a National Beef plant in Liberal, Kansas, Homer Stull climbed into a blood-collection tank to clean it, a filthy tank thirty feet high. Stull was overcome by hydrogen sulfide fumes. Two co-workers climbed into the tank and tried to rescue him. All three men died. Eight years earlier, Henty Wolf had been over come by hydrogen sulfide fumes while cleaning the very same tank; Gary Sanders had tried to rescue him; both men died; and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) later fined National Beef for its negligance. The fine was $480 for each man's death.
