My brother worked for Jimmy Dean Foods for years. He was a systems
analyst and often had to take trips to the various slaughterhouses to
tweak the computer equipment. From what he told me, the slaughtering
was not a pretty sight and he was glad most of the equipment he worked
on was well away from the killing areas. Slaughtering is not a job for
the faint of heart.

I like vegetables as much as the next person. I, for one, also
appreciate the people who cut all that meat into nice little pieces so
we can buy it at the grocery store.
