BPI, manufacturers of pink slime, shuts down 3 plants

http://www.kcrg.com/news/local/150501575.html

in Iowa, Kansas, and Texas. Eliminates 600 jobs between the 3 states. Now, as much as I hate to see jobs lost, there is other garbage we need to eliminate from the processing of food.

The people in these jobs were used as far as I'm concerned. Corporate greed has created many monsters that need to be destroyed and when they are there will be innocent casualties. Corporations need to fill positions every time they come up with nefarious ideas they need to hide from the public.
