"When people are starving and they have anything with a price, I guess you ought to sell it, I say. I guess you realize it now when it's too late."
This quote really helps to explain how the meat-packing industry has arrived at its current state. People were starving, and they would sell and buy anything if they were desperate enough. This desperation drove big food industries to advance the production of meat and lead to the success of the meat-packing industries. This evolution of the industry lead to a change in the times, the survival of the people; however, now people look at the meat packing industry as a cruel, negative business due to the poor treatment of the animals. This is where the second part of the quote comes in. Sinclaire claims that it's too late to change things, but it's never too late. People can change things; it's just a matter of how. Sound off in the comments.

It seems that most things start with a good end in mind, and then greed or power corrupts them. Sigh...
