I'm done with Tyson foods.......

[thebeav]

I just saw where they closed their plant in Perry, Iowa, and laid off 1200 workers.
All in favor of hiring illegals.......AND providing them with lawyers.
I can easily live without that chicken, it won't taste the same anyway.

 

[Milf Dots]

Fuck Tyson Foods.

 

[sirhrmechanic]

I’d assert that their chicken tastes like reprocessed foam peanuts…

But that would be unfair to the foam peanuts.

Let me guess. The Tyson plant was staffed by illegals, and keeping it open while using US labor would push the processing cost outside of what the US consumer is willing to bear for processed chicken? That tracks. And, I’m not surprised. The average US consumer is not prepared to pay US labor prices for most goods and services. I have said it forever- the US didn’t give up on slavery, it just decided it is less expensive to rent them…

I live in the Chicken Belt. You can’t swing a dead cat and not hit a chicken house around here.

Most of the employees at the processing plants are “migrant“ workers. each employee is entitled to take home one chicken every day from the plant they work at, but none of them do because they see how nasty those birds are that they work with on a daily basis. So instead they come to our farm and spend $15-$20 each to buy a live bird to take home to eat.

My wife stumbled into a “show chicken” that a student at her school was giving away. Already processed and ready for the pit. Damn that was a good bird.

My grandfather worked in a chicken house for a while. He never ate chicken after the experience.

I love that I have a local butcher shop. I give them almost 100% of my biz when I can.

My best friend's wife grew up in a family that raised chickens.............she will not eat any chicken today............... I give her hell when she orders eggs for breakfast..............

Since i heard they were using bug protein and then looked it up myself and seen articles of them admitting it.... I'll eat dog food before any Tyson products.

Why do you guys eat chicken in the first place? That shit is gross

 

[PusherX11]

As a teen I worked in free range hen houses for egg laying with 10,000 birds. The feed we fed them depleted those birds to skin and bones. Nasty fuckers, they would peck each others assholes out and eat everything inside. All that was left was a hollowed out bird. We used to catch mice and throw them in there, they would go nuts called it chicken football. The Hayes Market next town over butchers all their own birds daily, they are always hiring processors. That’s the only place I buy chicken.

Wut $20 for a chicken? Now I know how you can afford to to own every night vision device ever made.

You were today years old when you realized industrial chicken is a crime against everything decent in the world? Glad you are catching up bud. One step closer to the truth is better than one step farther away.

No industrial agriculture. Period.

I can see how my response could be taken as not liking chicken because it’s an animal product. I actually meant it the other way. Chicken is more like the animal world’s equivalent of vegetables. Muscle meat, fat, & organs from ruminant animals are infinitely healthier than some disgusting fowl or weeds

I had to look up the word ruminant lol

I like to eat tasty animals. I don’t care how many beaks or toes they have. Gotta taste good.

I can buy top quality, grass fed, unvaccinated beef from my local butcher for 5 dollars a pound finished, wrapped.

No Mexicans involved. It isn't that expensive compared to the low quality food most folks buy daily.

Well, this plant is actually a pork processing plant that is being shut down.

You are assuming that Tyson does not already hire illegals in this plant, which is not a very good assumption. Here is one of the employees discussing the closure.

I grew up about 5 miles from there on a farm, and there is a lot of history that I know about that you are not aware of.

You are the exception. The vast majority of Americans are totally divorced from how and where their food is grown and processed.

The majority of our protein is venison that I process myself, so, yeah…

The University of Arkansas has a rather large section called something like (it's been a decade or two, don't recall exact words) "poultry research dept.".
The major donator of funds.....Don Tyson, the owner of Tyson foods (if he's still alive anyway) and of course other than WalMart one of the largest employers in NW Arkansas.
Them fuckers do things like figuring out how to take shit like chicken feathers and reprocess them so they can feed them back to, you guessed it, chickens.

They are some nasty evil mutha fuckers, never doubt it.
Obviously Tysons has also imported a shit ton of illegals into Arkansas because, you know, paying an American is just not a thing to be done.

Having spent 6 decades of my life living in Iowa, the last 30 of them 25 miles from Perry. Let me fill you in on something. The entire meat processing industry is staffed with mostly Latino labor and has been for decades. Be it pork, beef, or chicken makes no difference. Being Latino doesn't mean they are illegals, not by a long shot. Unless you're going to raise your own, you don't have a lot of choices.

 

[hero's machine]

A coworker was told chicken was on the do not eat list as a cancer survivor. Doc told him there's far too many hormones in commercial chicken for his safety. Farm raised was fine, but told him not to risk anything off the shelf.

Of course not.....No one is talking about Latinos.
So called 'asylum seekers'.......

It's that way with all commercial meat. They are allowed to feed steroids to critters to increase size, yet those same steroids are illegals for people to buy.

Yes, I'm sure....and up to this point they have been 'legal' ones.
I'm afraid you've missed my point.

The chicken belt is long indeed. East of me to the coast is the turkey belt. I am in NC and my dead end road alone has 12 chicken houses. Tyson has a plant in town and the big companies...Mountainaire, Pilgrim etc. all have processing plants withing 30 miles. One of the reasons we see so many hispanics around here compared to 20 years ago. No thanks on chicken from the grocery store. The processing plants are nasty, the chickens go from peeps to monster full grown in about 6-7 weeks. That is nowhere near normal....... None of my chicken farmer friends eat it.

On a good note they are some of my best coyote hunting spots.

That’s a pork plant, not a chicken plant.

Tyson had announced they lost $128M in fiscal year 2023 in their pork segment.

I’m sure this was more of a contributor to the plant closing than hiring illegals.

Those cornish crosses/broilers are likely the result of nazi experiments conducted by Mengele and his minions. I can't prove it though.

By around six weeks they start to develop crippling leg problems because they pack on weight so fast their little legs can't keep up. And the feather situation makes them look like feral animals found near Chernobyl.

No doubt they make the best fried chicken tough. Heritage breeds have a weird texture and are too oily. If you're eating chicken from anyone looking to turn profit (or even lose less money) there's a 99% chance it's a frankenstein-like cornish cross variety.

I'm in NC too and someone cleaned out one of the houses yesterday. That'll open up your sinuses...

Grow your own chickens for meat and eggs. They are the easiest animal to care for and will eat every table scrap your family produces. Also, keep them around your garden, they will clean out the insects and mice.

I don't get it. Lots of animals eat bugs. Birds eat bugs. Why would bugs in their feed be an issue?

 

[Green461]

The FDA is a joke, from what ive read places basically approve themselves and then just let the FDA know and the FDA is like "ok you submitted all the correct paperwork you are good". I hope im wrong but dont think i am.

 

[918v]

I don't get it. Lots of animals eat bugs. Birds eat bugs. Why would bugs in their feed be an issue?

Because people on this site are panicking over a possibility of having to eat bugs in the future, per Klaus Schwab.

 

[918v]

Though I am curious why someone would want to feed processed bugs to free range chickens.
