Would you eat meat if you saw where it came from?

Heavens yes! I live near a Swift Co. processing plant. It may smell terrible on the outside but the inside is worse in parts like the kill floor, the gut room.... I'm a professional butcher and work with other butchers that have side jobs at small plants. I hear all their stories and some are wild. Regardless of the smells or sights there are very strict federal laws regarding sanitation and safety. Also there is a much higher risk of disease when hunting animals that haven't been vaccinated and fed reasonably clean water. The risk in part comes from handling the carc and whatever critters are on it from various pathogens and critters in the meat or guts.
