MEAT IS ESSENTIAL IN OUR DIET! On average, we consume 12 ounces of meat a day and 334 ounces a month. American fast food has become a virus that people would avoid in China due to its food safety scandal that went viral on social media.

The Beijing – U.S. based food supplier spent more than two decades and $750 million building a business in China[1], in all collapsed in July 2014 when a footage of workers making chicken nuggets and patties from expired meat was shown on TV.

Clearly, the decentralized firm has managerial issues, as OSI-USA claims to be “unaware” of such unethical business practice in China. In my opinion, this is a serious problem that needs to be dealt with. Expired products could be lethal, and some businesses that promote lean production choose to utilize resources that are overdue in order to cut cost and minimize waste.

Price-conscious firms that ignore health and safety concerns should be penalized by the law, as this could possibly lead to a case of indirect murder.
