| Jan 22, 2018 at 15:23 | comment | added | PoloHoleSet | I'm with @AndrewGrimm on this one. Why would the FDA, of all agencies, be looking into the marriage status of the industry labor force? On the flip side, it is a miserable, grueling existence, working in an industrial meat processing facility. If you're doing miserable crappy work for not great pay, chances are other aspects of your life aren't all that wonderful, either, so I wouldn't be surprised if this had some kernel of truth at its core. | |

| Jan 21, 2018 at 15:08 | comment | added | JMac | @AK_is_curious I don't see how a video with a million views makes it a notable claim... You could go through this video line for line and find inaccuracies in basically each; because it seems very clear to me that it's not a serious video. It's a joke/entertainment video. | |

| Jan 19, 2018 at 17:25 | comment | added | AK_is_curious | @JanDoggen how about a non-fictional statement made by a cartoon figure with a following of more than half a million people? I think this is a credible question if you consider the following of this YouTuber and the views on this specific video. | |
| Jan 19, 2018 at 14:25 | comment | added | Henry | Since shambles used to mean a area of slaughterhouses and butchers' shops, you wonder whether its use here was deliberate | |

| Jan 18, 2018 at 14:44 | comment | added | gerrit | And what is the definition of "in shambled" anyway? | |
| Jan 18, 2018 at 13:15 | comment | added | user5341 | The claim (assuming that it is a genuine stat in the first place of course) is meaningless without comparison to marriage status of similarly-paid workers in other industries. It's no great revelation that people in US lower on sociology-economic ladder are generally in a state of shambled marriage situation. | |
| Jan 18, 2018 at 12:48 | comment | added | Golden Cuy | The biggest surprise in this claim is a government agency looking at the personal well-being of workers in an industry. | |
