A Mark of Wholesome Meat (1964)

Gorgeous movie about why the meat you eat can't be beat! LOL. This is a movie that looks to me like it hasnt screened much, because there's hardly a scratch on it. Anyways, It's all about meat inspectors! And how they examine every bit of meat that is coming to your dinner table! Before you can stop me, This film of course starts at the slaughterhouse, where split open pigs, sides of beef and other unrecognizable pieces of meat slide our way ready to be examined by the meat inspector (great hot dog making scene by the way). Curious that they make a point of repeating that these products…

Heck where I come from Chinese was only around a few years then and a tamale? we only knew it as "chilly today....hot tamale!" but had no clue what it was. So did they shoot this in south Texas? And what happened to that delicious looking pork in barbecue sauce product? Sure looked good. Never seen that - certainly not in those days. Yum! And kids - heads up!....this is a sure shot area for a…
