on One Man's Meat
The second in a series of films about beef, beef barons and beef-eaters - and about the people who won't eat a mouthful at any price.

As living standards rise around the world, more and more people are demanding their cut of the joint. Two million head of cattle are slaughtered every week to provide food for the human family. Most of us don't care to think too much about how it is done; many of us don't know one end of a butchered carcass from another - even though beef is dearer than ever before and cuts like sirloin and rump steak have become luxury foods.

The Way of all Flesh follows the beef business from the middle of the Smithfield showring to the middle of a hamburger. On the journey we meet slaughtermen, pitchers, flayers, pullers-back, humpers and bummarees; butchers, tasters and chefs; and we explore a hamburger empire which includes not only two Cadillacs, a yacht and a diamond as big as the Ritz but a fantasy land for children and a private university for students of the hamburger.

The second of four programmes with John Berger.

Paintings of the female nude are an important part of the tradition of European art. Writer and critic John Berger examines these paintings and asks whether they celebrate women as they really are or only as men would like them to be.

In the second part, five women discuss his analysis in the light of the way women see themselves today.
