The world’s leading meat producer, Tyson Foods Inc., announced the closure of its largest pork packing plant in Iowa this week as the company transitions towards insect farming to produce “meat alternatives.”

The meat giant also indicated that four additional plants would close by mid-fiscal 2024, just days after announcing the closure of two major chicken plants.

Wow.

No more Tyson on my shopping list.

Remember when food production would be shut down when inspectors found too many insect fragments?

[Rlsau1]

Boy, talk about self destruction of shareholder value. I can’t believe any competent BOD would sign off on this.

[cuban leaf]

Like major motor vehicle manufacturers trying to switch to EV’s. How’d that work out for them?

[Dan in Wichita]

Meat producers are probably being pushed into this the same way auto manufacturers were pushed into EV's by the federal government.

It is not a good omen for liberty when everyone is afraid of the government.

No one eats or buys the “meat alternatives” gunk much less insects. Go woke go broke again.

So much for “conspiracy theories”...

What wil pay more? Company shareholder value, or the massive subsidies and corporate welfare to “transition?”

[ConservativeWarrior]

No one eats or buys the “meat alternatives” gunk much less insects.

To be fair, most people already consider Tyson’s products to be “meat alternatives”.

What happens when bribes exceed regular salaries, regulatory lawfare threatens your operations, and congress gives in to George Soros and Klauss Schwabb, over representing you.

Crap low grade beef was $18 a pound yesterday at Kroger. Most of it goes into the dumpster or to our local zoo to feed the big cats. The meat manager is prohibited from marking any of it down if it doesn't sell in order to move it.

[fwdude]

As long as the insects are for the chickens.

[dforest]

People do not want to eat freaking bugs. Tyson can bug off.

[Albion Wilde]

This is horrifying. Who paid whom?

[ConservativeMind]

Why can’t they mark it down?

[butlerweave]

Bill gates will only make fake meat until he destroys the beef industry then he’ll switch to bugs

[jpp113]

It is not a conspiracy theory when the proponents of the “Eat zee bugs” tells you right to your face what they are planiing to do and implementing as we speak. Dumbazz authors of this article have never heard of KLAUS SCHWAB and the WEF?????

[TomGuy]

I just do not see a mad rush by consumers to buy insect produce.

May this ‘fad’ end quicker than the EV madness.

[noiseman]

They’re not going to stop unless and until someone _____ them.

Looks like PETA will have to form a new offshoot: PETI.
