And beans, and salsa (I think the highest calorie one is like 15 per serving) and (some) cheese, and delicious, delicious lettuce.

Did you receive any sort of additional benefits/compensation due to the health hazards? It's amazing that I still get shocked by hearing about factory conditions.

Have you read "The Jungle?" Its amazing how much conditions have improved, mostly thanks to that book.

That's a powerful book. Yes it's improved to be sure but we still have a ways to go. After watching "Food, Inc", it took me a bit before I could eat burgers again

Well as pompous as this sounds it was a Canadian plant and the conditions were miles and miles ahead of the US back then. The line jobs paid a little over minimum wage and the only people that received a higher rate were the sanitation workers that cleaned at night. Every piece of equipment was stripped down completely and sanitized every single night. Oh and this was a plant with 1400 people not some little deli thing.

Instead of me making a thread about this, i thought id ask u guys.

First off what is the act that has taken place where a company must prove your modifications has caused the specific problem?

Secondly, i have my car at the dealership currently for a weird transmission noise that began. They called me today saying they are haulting any further process and getting a toyota representative out there because of the modifications i had made to the vehicle. I have just an exhaust, stock header, lowering springs, arp studs, and wheels and thats it. I dont see the need to get a representative to look at my mods for a trans noise.

Yeah they will try to say its this or that, but ask them to prove it and provide examples. Stick to your guns and dont get bullied as they want to make you pay out of pocket because they make a hell of a lot more money that way then if toyota pays them. If they deny warranty then tell them you will be taking it somewhere else (and take it to another dealer) in the mean time because you are in a good position

What if they make the arguement that..

the exhaust on the car raised the horsepower to the point where it put extra strain on the transmission than designed by factory.

Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.

Here's @mav1178's PSA where someone cited a few examples I think were similar to your situation:
