Turkey burger with cheese please!

With all this great weather we've been having lately, I planned this cookout for a for people that I work with. I wen't shopping for supplys, you know the burger meat, buns, potatoe salad...stuff like that. Once I got to the meat section, I started remembering FFN and more specifically Schlosser's encounter with the slaughterhouse "In the high plains." I started picturing the gory process by which cattle is turned intothe proportional pattys were use to seeing at the supermarket. I then started reminising on all the "stuff" that was found in the meat in Ch. 9 of FFN. Needless to say, I made a mad dash for the turkey burgers. I know that FFN was talking about the meat that wen't into the fast food industry directly but I couldn't help but feel like the meat found in the supermarket has the same grousome history. When I brought the safe alternative (turkey pattys) back to the cookout I made sure not to tell anyone until after they tried the burger. Not only did no one complain about a differance in taste, no one even noticed. I couldn't keep my vigilant attempt of a healthier lunch go unnoticed. Before I told everyone I made sure to tell them about FFN and Schlosser's description of where the meat that McDonalds and other chain restaurants come from, they were relieved when I told them that the "Beef" bacon cheeseburgers that they just swallowed whole were actually made from ground turkey meat. Go Turkey burgers!!
