Like Muckraker Upton Sinclair, whose exposure of conditions in Chicago slaughterhouses led to enactment of the nation's first strong meat-inspection law, Nader is particularly critical of the meat-packing industry. He directed one of his strongest attacks at hamburgers and hot dogs, labeling them "shamburgers" and "fatfurters." The targets, singled out by President Nixon, were well chosen. The fat content of the ubiquitous wiener has risen from 18.6% to 31.2% in 30 years, while its protein content has dropped from 19.6% to 11.8%. Noting the possible relationship between high fat intake and heart disease, Nader branded...
...heightened sense of responsibility for the food industry and stepped-up Government inspection. The latter is likelier than the former. Congress has already responded to Nader's campaign against unsound automobiles by legislating strict safety requirements for new cars. It reacted to his testimony on the quality of meat products by passing the Wholesome Meat Act of 1967, and to his disclosures on poultry with the Wholesome Poultry Products Act of 1968. His past crusades on the whole have been well documented, though often sensationalized and overdramatized. Unless his latest charges prove to be exaggerated, Congress will probably again...
Residents of Kuala Lumpur, both rich and poor, used to congregate by the thou sands each night around long rows of food stalls throughout the city. Many were there for their evening meal of satay (meat roasted on a short skewer of cane and dipped in curry sauce). Others stopped off on their way home for a bowl of soup.

...politics is at the bone of this play, it is the reliable old human comedy that constitutes most of its meat. Which, considering one's dealing here with a whorehouse, may be an unfortunate choice of metaphor, however crudely it does demonstrate how this particular comedy often goes. Certainly, the most hilarious bits (and they embrace a whole gamut of comedy) belong to Joan Tolentino, as Miss Gilchrist, a social worker who "takes insults in the name of our insulted saviour." Since she's more Mary Magdalen than Virgin Mary, she ends up having to take a good many...
...literature is unbelievable. And the underground newspapers with their filthy names and titles and want ads. You see, there's no love in this sort of thing. We're just buying sex like you would buy a piece of meat. Eventually this decadence will destroy us, and that's why I'm asking people to commit themselves to a Christ who's teaching love and understanding...
