Answer:
While carbon monoxide is poisonous, there is no evidence in the case that there was any dangerous effect on the meat itself as a result of this treatment. One can argue that the customer needs to know everything regarding the process that the meat undergoes. But then there are many other elements in the processing cycle that are not revealed on the label.
Therefore, as long as there is no negative health effect, there is no reason for the additional process to be mentioned on the label.
The alternative argument is that everything regarding the process needs to be informed to the buyer. Here one can also argue as to how many other factors regarding the process that may change over a period of time are never mentioned on the label. Therefore this process as long as it is safe, does not achieve anything by being revealed.
Answer:
The two whistleblower protection websites are:
1) www.whistleblower.org. This is a non-profit organization run by lawyers. They provide complete legal protection and other legal services to whistleblowers. They will fight the person's cases right to the very end.
2) www.whistleblowers.gov. This is a website under the OSHA which is a US government organization. This organization would take cognizance of the whistleblower's complaint and provide him with the relevant legal advice. This organization provides moral and legal advice but does not provide any legal services to fight the case. They could take up the prosecution of the case themselves if federal or state laws were breached. However the legal protection of the whistleblower has to be arranged by the person himself.
Therefore it is clear that the first website offers the best assistance to any whistleblower.
