Um, why NOT buy your pork at TARGET? The whole reason these super stores are becoming grocery stores as well is so folks can get everything they need in one place rather than hop from one store to another. Being the one who does the food shopping for the house, I am not going to make a special trip somewhere just to buy my bacon or ham. If you don't want to handle pork, don't apply for a cashier position or stocking position in the meat department. Problem solved.
13 years ago I worked QC in an environment where there was large amounts of lead floating in the air. (it was a car battery factory that made large batteries for buses) I was made aware of the lead when I took the job. I had to wear all kinds of protective gear since I was handling lead and breathing the air at the factory (through a mask) and was required to shower every day before leaving the plant. They would also check our blood once a month to make sure lead levels were not rising or getting into our blood stream. Well, as soon as my blood showed an increase - no matter how minute - I left the job. I had to make the choice whether it was worth the health risk and I decided it was not. MY choice was not the responsibility of the company for which I was employed however. I could not request (and should not) they change all kinds of things just so I wouldn't be exposed to lead. That was the nature of their business and unavoidable.
