The Gyro Meat

*In this last section of my Bioneers course we learned and studied about the life of fungi and different other kinds of decomposers. We investigated on earthworms, mushrooms, mold and much more that concerns about the natural decomposers. We learned that there are many man made materials that affects the world and our environment right now to this day. Such as, plastics bottles, paper plates, styrofoam and etc.. We then did a project based on products we want to reconstruct and or make better for the world and especially the animals in the wild. We got down to the roots of what is bad in the society today and changed it. I am proud of my project because it's based off of something that everybody enjoys. I get to find out and research about something I've been eating for quite a whgile. Me investigating about where gyro meat comes from and what happens to it will have to be one of the best things I've done this whole section of my course.



The slideshow above explains the process of where gyro meat comes from and what happens to it when we eat it. In a quick summary, gyro meat comes from a lamb, sheep, and or goat's lower stomach. It was originated in Greece, and was first sold in the city of Chicago back in the 1960's. The process of how a gyro  is technically made is that first, the meat is cut from either lamb, sheep, or goat then the meat is cleaned and tested for any diseases within it. It is then packaged in various packaging factories over seas where it is then shipped all across the world to numerous supermarkets, gyro shops, and other locally owned fast food places. Gyro meat is usually either completly consumed by humans, and or it is wasted and thrown away. When it is thrown away it ends up in a landfill somewhere far away where scavengers feast off of it. If not thrown away, the human feces could be used as fertilizer across seas to feed the soil then the goats can eat again.
