Why worry about chickens when the FDA let Chinese made Pharmaceuticals sell under Made in America or Canada labels?

Cats In The Kettle
- Weird Al Yankovic

Did you ever think when you eat Chinese,
It ain’t pork or chicken, but a fat siamese,
Yet the food tastes great, so ya don’t complain,
but that’s not chicken in your chicken chow mein.
Seems to me I ordered sweet and sour pork,
But Garfield’s on my fork,
He’s purrin here on my fork...

There’s a cat in the kettle at the Peking Moon,
The place that I eat everyday at noon,
They can feed you cat and you’ll never know,
Once they wrap it up in dough, boys,
They fry it real crisp in dough.

Chou Lin asked if I wanted more,
As he was dialin up his buddy at the old pet store,
I said not today,
I lost my apettite,
There’s two cats in my belly and they want to fight,
I was suckin on a Rolaid and a Tums or two,
When I swear I heard it mew, boy,
And that is when I knew...

There’s a cat in the kettle at the Peking Moon,
I think I gotta stop eating there at noon,
They say that it’s beef or fish or pork,
But it’s purrin there on my fork,
There’s a hairball on my fork.

Smithfield Farms, in NC has been taken over by chinee. Major pork processor, and chicken and a lot else. This is NOT good.

Incredible that anyone would allow the chinee offshore to ship this crap (emphasis as result of eating) and potential for biologic nightmare.

the chinee are buying our foreclosed property too you know?
Proxy buyers for cash.

OK ... I'm older .. and approaching senility .. and I sometimes mispeak and mistype ... but I need to know if I've lost it or not ...

Does this say ...

"Even though the Chinese poultry processors are only allowed to ship cooked meat from U.S.-raised chickens, many in the United States are alarmed that our leaders would allow such a deal to go down in the first place. After all, China is notorious for its food safety problems "

We grow chickens
send them to China
they process them
they ship 'em BACK to us
and we buy them as American chickens

???

Is THAT what I read ?

Any info on which companies or branding this will be done under, if permitted?

I’ve already found frozen vegetables from China, the wife didn’t look when she bought them, I guess she thought like many, USA.

I happened to look and promptly threw them out...but they were identified with country of origin and I will not buy them.

This however, means we will not know unless we find out which branding this is under. If I can’t find out, I will contact the companies which purportedly process the chicken we normally buy and ask. If no satisfactory answer is forthcoming, then chicken will not be bought from any store anymore.

I will go to local farmers, which, as I sit here and type it, is a damn good thought.

Let me get this straight, there are folks raising chicken in the U.S. who sends the dead, decomposing chickens on a boat to China, where it gets processed and sent back to us, a 16,000 mile round trip to wind up in a can of soup or TV Dinner tray?

Lemme’ get the straight...we send the Chicoms our chickens. They process, cook, package, and then sell them back to us, at wildly inflated prices? And, they are permitted to label them “Made in America.” You realize this describes a colonial plantation economy? It's precisely how France treats its former colonies in in Africa. Cocoa, bananas, fish, coffee, mangoes, etc., are exported to France. The French then process, package, and sells the stuff back to the Africans at tremendous profit. Nice work, if you can get it.

Joy. Get out of the WTO. It destroys sovereignty.

Audit gives China green light to process U.S. chicken

Was Your Chicken Nugget Made In China? It'll Soon Be Hard To Know/

'The USDA's decision comes with a backdrop of long-running trade disputes over meat between the U.S. and China. In a nutshell: China banned U.S. beef exports in 2003 after a case of mad cow disease turned up in a Washington state cow. Then, when the bird flu virus broke out widely among Asian bird flocks in 2004, the U.S. blocked imports of Chinese poultry. China challenged that decision in front of the World Trade Organization, which ruled in China's favor in 2010.'

I’m glad I don’t like chicken that much.
Funny I was investigating community supported agriculture just yesterday. It’s looking more attractive by the day.

Let me get this straight. We are going to ship live chickens from the USA to China, then they are going to cook them and send them back here to us?

Don’t worry about it. It’s not real chicken.

Back when Clinton was president, the Agriculture Department made a nasty bit of work on behest of Arkansas chicken giant Tyson Foods, a big supporter (read “bribery”) of elected officials in Arkansas.

The deal was this. Puerto Rico had a large, decentralized but protected chicken business, a livelihood for tens of thousands of poor Puerto Ricans. Puerto Ricans prefer dark meat, unlike most Americans that prefer white meat.

Well, Tyson Foods had tons of extra dark meat, so the Clinton regime took away Puerto Rico’s protections, so Tyson could dump it on Puerto Rico at ridiculously low prices. Which impoverished tens of thousands of people by putting them out of business.

That would have been bad enough, but then the Clinton administration removed the requirement that the Tyson chicken be freshness dated. So vast amounts of repeatedly frozen, bacteria laden, old chicken were dumped on Puerto Rico. Sold for retail even if it was slimy and green.

Almost needless to say, Salmonella and other food poisoning has become common in Puerto Rico. And yet, they still vote for Democrats.

Because Free Trade Communism WORKS!! Just ask any Free Trade Communist

I am tired of subsidizing the Communist Chinese...and now we lie about their crap products

And this will get worse if Obama’s Free Trade deal with the EU is done. The EU will surely label Communist Chinese and Third World crap as EU Made before they send it to the US
