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.

There’s a consumer market for processed insect foods?
I suppose Biden will order them to become the basis of school lunches. Military rations could also be shifted via top down fiat, which would dovetail perfectly with Biden’s other initiatives to boost morale and increase enlistments.
But is anybody actually buying this stuff in supermarkets? Maybe in San Francisco, but anywhere else?
Quite possibly Tyson was warned by Blackrock/Vanguard/State Street that their many farms and processing facilities just may burn down if they do not toe this wacko WEF party line (and there would be no insurance coverage for their losses)......
OMG!!! DEMONIC DEMOCRATS DO THIS CRAP!!
“I can’t believe any competent BOD would sign off on this.”
The reason these plants are closing has nothing to do with bugs.
The meat industry is moving to larger more automated plants. A old plant like Perry that processes 9000 head per day is no longer economic.
They want to STARVE US OUT!!
How a conspiracy theory about eating bugs made its way to international politics:
Is this a satire site?
Meat managers (Butchers) used to be God in the stores. No more. No more wrapping, grinding, band saw, etc....
They are hell bent on forcing the issue, aren’t they?
Bugflation...
Tyson never was on my list.
Their chicken quality is terrible. I was never impressed with it.
Mr. Barbecue is not going to be happy
Founded in 2009, Protix currently supplies its insect products to pet food makers such as Nestle SA and Mars Inc. The new U.S. plant doesn’t have a site and won’t be ready before 2025.
When it is up and running, it will house "an enclosed system to support all aspects of insect protein production including the breeding, incubating, and hatching of insect larvae," according to a news release from Tyson.
Tyson CFO John Tyson said the insect processing business is a "multibillion-dollar industry opportunity" with "tremendous growth potential. In the long run insect-protein inclusion in animal-feed diets can be a real thing that exists and can be one that is good for people, planet and animals."
Protix CEO Kees Aarts -- a member of the World Economic Forum -- said the deal with Tyson is "the tipping point we have been working for."
The two companies may be starting with insect-based pet food. But forcing humans to turn to bugs for food is also a major goal of the WEF and other globalist "experts." On its website, the WEF assures us that "insect protein has high-quality properties and can be used as an alternative source of protein throughout the food chain, from feed for aquaculture to ingredients for nutritional supplements for humans and pets."
Good time for a competitor to swoop in and take away Tyson’s business it threw away. Idiots. Eff their insect meat— we will start eating feral hogs if this insanity keeps up.
That’s right.
I was at Costco a few months back walking around to all the food hustlers.
My friend said “Here try this!”
I’m like more free food....Kewel.
Blech! That Shiite was gross.
She then informed me it was fake meat
I asked her to never do that again.
Tyson alwsys sucked and Hilary used to sit on their board. Their animal torture standards are unmatched in the industry. Now they will abuse insects.
Chickens eating INSECTS? And you want us to eat chickens that ate bugs? That’s just gross.
That’s funny!
Well, they partly killed the ICE vehicle manufacturing. I suspect the same may happen to beef/poultry/pork production. They'll start by having of it at much higher prices.
I'm not happy til the DEMONCRATS aren't happy!!
