Last Saturday I met a fellow I've not seen in months. He works for an
engineering company and the present project is at a hog slaughterhouse.
They do in 18,000 hogs a day, six days a week.. They have 2000 workers on
two nine hour shifts and 900 people come in every night and clean and
sanitize for six hours.

Processing a hog used to take 180 gallons of water. His job is to reduce
that and it is down to 143 gallons per hog. Gas is used to burn the hair
off of the skin in an automated line.

Getting to the subject though, the blood (after the plasma is removed) from
all of these hogs is shipped to cosmetic companies and it becomes an
ingredient in lipstick. So, think about what you are kissing some nights.
