If you're curious about large-scale meat-processing machinery and sanitation procedures, definitely watch this video. If you ever, ever want to eat fast food again, maybe don't. Made to reassure the public about the safety and quality of McDonald's meat, this tour of one of their meat providers' factories is interesting, partly because of the complex, bewildering preparations that the beef patties go through and the amazing machines that do the work, but mostly because of how much the procedure resembles that child-grinding scene from The Wall. It's not that this is necessarily surprising, it's just that we're used to companies keeping this kind of thing as out of view as possible. So some credit is due to McD's, I guess? Witness all the mechanical wonder/horror here.

Change comes not when some group of radical seizes power, thatââ¬â¢s just a shift at the top. It comes when Mr. And Mrs. Ordinary make a stand. When the cake shop owner and teacher and the bearer boy come together and say, ââ¬ËThey are not afraid,ââ¬â¢ anymore.
