Comments on: “Dark Meat” in the NYT http://www.savethedeli.com/2008/08/06/dark-meat-in-the-nyt/ Dedicated to the preservation of all salted and cured Judaic meats Thu, 17 May 2012 09:50:13 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1 By: Lauren http://www.savethedeli.com/2008/08/06/dark-meat-in-the-nyt/#comment-14625 Lauren Wed, 06 Aug 2008 16:53:20 +0000 http://www.savethedeli.com/2008/08/06/dark-meat-in-the-nyt/#comment-14625 Amen! Finally someone from the Orthodox establishment speaks out about human rights, even if they're not Jewish humans. This lack of standing up for universality in rights from the orthodox establishment is what causes many other Jews to feel alienated from Orthodoxy. Amen!

I may be a bit of a hypocrite here, since I don't keep Kosher or pretend to, and I do not consider myself particularly religious or observant, but all Jews should be concerned when human rights abuses are made in our name--in the name of maintaining Jewish laws. The notion of not being just for oneself goes all the way back to Hillel. I don't want to rush to judgment, but if these allegations hold true, the entire Jewish community needs to make substantial reparations to the families who have been victimized. BTW, I always wondered why Agriprocessors' products always seemed cheaper than other Kosher meats in the supermarket. Now I know why. Great piece–and I agree with Lauren’s post, too.

Meat preparation practices have been declining in both kosher and non-kosher plants -- we need to confront the issues of low inspection enforcement on the Fed level as well as ethical practice and treatment of unqualified immigrant employees.

I'm sure the working conditions were par for the course for large meat processors. It is a nasty job with mostly (90%) immigrants working them. Some are illegal and they were arrested and many will be deported I suppose. Working at Rubashkin is better than working in Mexico or Guatemala Has the plant reopened? When it does I'm sure it will be better run and with a legal immigrant workforce Rubashkin family’s massive plant…..
