Hmmm, I love Hormel’s breakfast sausage. No, I don’t want to know how it is made, thank you.

....... or near the head table, where workers cut the meat off severed hog heads.......
......a worker would insert a metal hose into the foramen magnum, the opening that the spinal cord passes through. High-pressure blasts of compressed air then turned the brain into a slurry that squirted out through the same hole in the skull, often spraying brain tissue around and splattering the hose operator ........
Ohh please, I will never bitch about illegal immigration again, and please, please, let them take those jobs away from my fellow American.

Interesting article. I was intrigued by this quote:
The aerosolized brain matter might have been inhaled or swallowed, or might have entered through the eyes, the mucous membranes of the nose or mouth, or breaks in the skin.
Its something no one would have anticipated or thought about, said Dr. Michael Osterholm, an epidemiologist who is working as a consultant for Hormel and Quality Pork.
But somebody did think about it:
Deu 14:8 And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcass.
Also see the following links to see how pork may be related to multiple sclerosis, another neurological disease:

Darn, I read all the way to the end and unlike a good book it had no happy ending.
I hope there is more news in the future.

I guess that these “brain” jobs are not ones that Americans refuse to do! $12 per hour...

sounds like they may need to;
Get rid of the high pressure air hose.
Find another way to flush the brains out, if it's that important to do so. Or find a way to deal with the skull, without messing with the brains at all.
Myself, I can't stand sweetbreads.

The internal details of this story have pinned my gross-out meter on “overload.”
Good night!

Yes, more like Ham ... taste all its own though. Place a slab of cheddar cheese on top and slip it between two thick layers of lettuce and tomato and you’ve got a ‘diet’ burger. No bread, just wrap it in lettuce with tomato and onion inside. Best to cut your slabs from the wide side after extracting the mass in a chunk from the can.
