It's not just the ethical issues, the way industrial farm animals live lives of hell, and are killed in horrible ways. It also concerns your health and that of your children.
Two meat-related scandals became known to consumers in the past few days - There are countless other infractions that go unnoticed and unreported.
SLAUGHTERHOUSE ACCUSED OF SELLING MEAT WITH CANCER
SAN FRANCISCO -- Rancho Feeding Corp., the Petaluma, California, slaughterhouse that recently recalled 8.7 million pounds of beef, is under criminal investigation by the federal government for killing and selling meat from dairy cows with cancer, according to sources who would speak only on the condition of anonymity.
Rancho was allegedly buying up cows with eye cancer, chopping off their heads so inspectors couldn't detect the disease and illegally selling the meat, the sources said.
Although it's against federal law, experts say eating the meat isn't likely to make people sick. So far, no one has reported becoming ill from eating the meat.
The huge recall and criminal investigation hasn't just affected Rancho. Private cattle producers, who used the facility for custom slaughtering, have also been swept up, leaving the shelves with a dearth of local, natural and high-end beef.

CUSTOMERS SUFFERED HALUCINATIONS
Florida family hospitalized after eating meat laced with LSD
ABC NEWS - Florida family, which included a pregnant woman, were hospitalized after consuming meat laced with the hallucinogenic drug LSD, according to the Tampa Police Department.
The family of four was sickened Monday night and did not initially know what caused the “mysterious illness,” but the county medical examiner’s office determined it was the psychedelic drug, officials said.
“It is still under investigation how the drug ended up in the family’s meal,” according to the police statement. “At this point, it is not clear if a crime has occurred.”
The woman, Jessica Rosado, 31, was nine months pregnant and doctors induced labor, authorities said.
