My Year of Meats

To add on today's class discussion I wanted to talk about the first chapter on page 11. There is a list of all the things needed in My American Wife! It says..
"DESIRABLE THINGS:
1.Attractiveness, wholesomeness, warm personality
2. Delicious meat recipe (NOTE: Pork and other meats is second class meats, so please remember this easy motto: "Pork is Possible, but Beef is Best!")
3. Attractive, docile husband
4. Attractive, Obedient children
5 Attractive, wholesome lifestyle
6. Attractive, clean house
7. Attractive friends and neighbors
8. Exciting Hobbies

UNDESIRABLE THINGS:
1. Physical imperfections
2. Obesity
3. Squalor
4. Second class peoples. "

I connected this with the way the meat industry works now a days. The meat industry attempts to raise their animals to be perfect so they can make valuable meat products. Now of course the meat industry doesn't look for attractiveness or anything above but indirectly they connect. They want the family in My American Wife! to be perfect just like the meat industry wants their animals to be perfect.
