CONTRADICTION

In the book Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser, chapter 8 describes the slaughterhouses. Throughput is fast speed labor but fast is dangerous. there is a contradiction that Schlosser assumes that the slaughterhouse companies assume they call themselves safe but we don't know if that is fact. this is fast speed labor Schlosser writes "today some plants slaughter up to 400 cattle an hour"(Schlosser 173). we know for a fact that this throughput labor has its flaws with injuries at this speed. I would say that this corporation does own up to the injuries and they don't hide it. Schlosser is contradicting that the slaughterhouse companies are calling themselves safe but it is never stated that the slaughterhouse's call themselves safe.
