Thuhmarekinpeople

Told that his meat was not fit to eat, Robert Blackwell, the famous breeder of "improved" fat livestock at that time(19th century), replied tartly that he did not produce meat for the tables of gentlemen but for laborers. Presumably, laborers could not afford good meat and didn't know the difference anyway. One can't help but note that Blackwell's attitude is reflected today by the factory meat industry, which in spite of universal protest from nutritionists and health-minded consumers, continues to provide fast food resteraunts with mountains of fatty, corn-fed meat because "that's what 'thuhmarekinpeople' want'. - Gene Logsdon
