Benefits??? The human body needs MEAT to survive. A vegan will have to take all kinds of artificial supplements just to get even the basic nutritions and even supplements does not replace getting it from a natural source.
I am so sick and tired of brain washed vegetarians like you wanting to force people to go vegan.

Why do we need inspectors anyhow. Replace the inspectors with cameras and reduce the government spending by the amount that you would have spent on the inspectors.
In fact use the sequester to identify what government positions can be eliminated. Schools are top heavy keep the teachers and get rid of 60% of the administration.

Good. As a happy vegan I wish more people would try some rice and beans recipes, seasoned to perfection and brimming with nutrients, proteins and all the other good stuff. If meat and eggs and such were totally wiped off the shelves I'd never miss them. Ummmmmmm, quinoa.

A meat inspector is a food safety professional who examines meat to be consumed by humans to guarantee their flesh and organs are free of disease, harmful bacteria and other contaminants. He examines animals prior to their slaughter to determine they are free of abnormalities, sickness or infection. He scrutinizes them subsequent to slaughter for the same maladies. Poultry and eggs are generally inspected separately and by different standards particular to the industry.
Along with checking the physical and sanitary conditions of the transporting vehicles and processing facilities, a meat inspector verifies the ingredients used in processing and preserving the meat.

The sequester -- slated for March 1, unless Congress finds a way to sidestep the start of $85 billion in mandated federal budget cuts -- would keep meat inspection personnel from going to work for as many as 15 days,
"And, most alarming, American consumers could face their first widespread shortage of meat, poultry, and egg products in generations."

Meat packers and processors cannot sell beef, pork, lamb and poultry meat without the USDA inspection seal. Inspection of meat for export or import also would stop during a furlough, said USDA. The industry has appealed to USDA to find ways to avoid a disruptive shutdown.

(I think this applies only to the large processing plants and does not include the local small town processing plant where we buy directly from the farmers).
I can imagine that after 2 weeks of no inspections or shipments, the meat department in the grocery stores would be depleted. Then when the shipments resumed, as soon as meat were available it would be grabbed up immediately in the panic of it all. I think it would be quite some time before the shelves were restocked without hoarding. Not to mention the price increase.
