| Description: | Inside a meat packing factory: assembly lines (sorrowful, dour-looking men in bloody white frocks) turn sides of beef into pre-packaged steaks. No slaughterhouse footage (natch, the heartless business/ advertising wimps), mostly manufacturing. Also shots of steaks frying on grill, steak on plate. Trimming the fat, ultimately utilizing but one pound of meat for every 10 pounds of slaughtered cattle (there's some math fer ya). Oriented toward restaurant trade. Meat, food, dinner. | |
