Irregular Times: News Unfit to Print Logo

It is a time of fear in the face of freedom, a time of barricaded roads and new paths. Maps fade and direction is lost as we glance sideways at the strange lands through which we pass, knowing for certain only that our destination has disappeared. We are unready to meet these times but we proceed nonetheless, adapting as we wander, reshaping the Earth with every tread. Gone are the old times, the standard times, the high times. Welcome to the irregular times.

The Terrorist Meat Solution?
posted 24th March 2008 in Homeland Insecurity, Irregular Ideas by The Green Man

I was looking up information about beef consumption in the United States (more about that later today), when I came across a reference to a document from a company called Cargill Meat Solutions.

That company name has stuck in an uncomfortable cranny of my mind. I don’t know what to do with the idea of a “meat solution”. Maybe I’m missing out on an important part of life, though, so I’m asking for input: Does anyone out there use meat as a solution to their everyday problems?

Looking into this Cargill Meat Solutions company, I came across two recent news stories of a disturbing nature. First, a Cargill Meat Solution packing factory in Booneville, Arkansas has recently been destroyed by a series of explosions. Then there’s recall of one million pounds of dangerous, contaminated beef that had been sent out by Cargill to be eaten by Americans.

If I were a conspiracy theorist, I might conclude that Cargill Meat Solutions is up to some kind of nefarious terrorist plot to attack America with a combination of explosive steaks and biological weapons delivered by hamburger. It would be our century’s equivalent of the Nazi Final Solution, only it would be called the Meat Solution instead.

I am not a conspiracy theorist, however. So, I will just stick with my original line of inquiry, and ask, Does anybody understand what a meat solution is?
