...dollar accounts are legal. The average worker has no such sanctuaries. Like many other blue-collar workers, one factory stock clerk named Victor, 56, finds that his hard-won comforts are vanishing fast. Once his family regularly dined on beefsteaks; now, he says, "we don't know what meat looks like. We eat ravioli." His 13,000 peso monthly salary is now worth only about $40. Last year his monthly salary was just 6,000 pesos, but in purchasing power it was worth...
What bothered the company about the issue was an unflattering account of food industry merchandising and meat-labeling practices. The 5,000-word article, titled "RipOff at the Supermarket" and excerpted from a forthcoming book on the food industry by Pop-Sociologist John Keats (The Sheepskin Psychosis, The Insolent Chariots), does not mention Safeway specifically.

He goes on to extrapolate that the earliest manlike creature made its appearance in rather barren areas. Few or no trees meant foraging and hunting on the ground. With the passage of eons, the foot flattened, the leg and back straightened, and the chase...
...human institutions: the development of weapons, cooperative action, the need to share food and the division of labor into hunting males and child-rearing females. The nonhunting female, Ardrey believes, contributed vitamins to the diet by foraging for plants. But it was man's bringing home the meat that provided the proteins needed for the evolution of complex nerve and brain cells...
