It was VERY helpful. Lots of good information about the destruction of small towns when huge slaugherhouses move in to use and abuse the town's resources and use and abuse the workers they move into the town. We beat the plant. I hope others who read the book win their war with big ag, too. We even had a community meeting with the author attending by video hookup. He is very accessible and willing to help his readers. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Textbook for Students -- And for Consumers, Workers, and Governments. *by T***F on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 5, 2012* As a textbook, Slaughterhouse Blues is successful on several levels. It covers the meat and poultry processing industry from various angles - that of the consumers, the communities, the business interests, and the employees. If you are studying social aspects of the business, or the ethical issues, or the logistics of locating in an existing community, or the labor side of things, you will find several chapters to address your questions. In fact, you'll probably come up with two questions for every one that is answered by the book. This will be great material for discussions and problem solving exercises.The authors have real life experience in advising communities how to deal with the changes that a large meat or poultry processing plant brings. They've spent years at different locations in the U.S. and Canada observing, studying, interviewing, and advising.Slaughterhouse Blues also works as a very informative and provocative account of the meat and poultry processing industry for the general reader. I read it straight through and I'm neither a teacher nor a student. The opening chapters on how beef, chicken, pork processing works is fairly graphic, but if you are reading this far, you're probably already familiar with the general nature of processing. It's no less disturbing for being familiar, and you'd think that anyone who knows what goes on in one of these plants would be an avowed vegetarian. But the authors claim to be enthusiastic meat eaters, and I can believe it. I still eat meat, although it seems to be less every year.By far the most interesting chapters, in my opinion, are about how the plants affect communities. No matter how eager a community is for the new jobs a plant will provide, there are never enough residents to fill the jobs. They always have to recruit from outside the community. Whether because the jobs are unpleasant and physically demanding and many North Americans don't want those jobs, or because the plant owners want to hire the cheapest possible labor, the majority of jobs end up being filled by new immigrants. This creates new demands on community resources due to language differences and new customs (such as the abusive treatment of wives and children in some cultures). The low wages create a need for food and housing assistance. The nature of meat processing causes issues of waste disposal, water usage, the smell, the effects of byproducts (such as ammonia) on residents and employees. And so on.Slaughterhouse Blues has vital information for those involved in labor relations, public health issues, local government planning, anthropology, social work, or those who are studying for careers in those fields. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/11648100-slaughterhouse-blues-the-meat-and-poultry-industry-in-north-america](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/11648100-slaughterhouse-blues-the-meat-and-poultry-industry-in-north-america) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
