From Glowing Meat: Fast food with Super Powers (American Conspiracy magazine, October 10, 2010) by Eddie Drake:
After checking in to my hotel room, I decided to interview some local residents at the local tavern in town. Many of them were reticent to speak with me, except for one. “Gus” was a former maintenance man at the “Mucho Grande latin food distribution plant” located on the outskirts of town. He confided in me that in his opinion, he felt that there was something seriously wrong with the ingredients being processed and distributed there. Many other employees felt this as well, but most of them wouldn’t speak of it out in the workplace. The general gossip was that it had something to do with the facility being located next door to the ‘New Way’ nuclear power plant. Gus said in his own words:
“Yea, it was just weird. Everyone there kinda whispered to one another that the ingredients were doing somethin’ to them. The REALLY weird thing was that sometimes, you could swear you heard people talking about this stuff without them speaking a single word to ya.”
I found Gus to be a generally good-natured and trustworthy person. He gladly answered the next couple of questions that I had prepared for him before the interview. Questions that I had written down, but hadn’t even gotten to ask him yet.
