There was an article here a while back that the USDA was planning to send chickens to China for processing.
I think big business is planning to grow them here, ship them to china so the slaves can cut them up, and then ship back.
Two questions; how is this cheaper? and who in their right mind thinks this is a good idea.
Free Traders would sell their mothers into slavery if it saved 1 penny on the dollar.
This isn’t just a cost cutting measure. If it ever was. It’s a way to ship our unpolluted chickens to china and have them ship their chickens back here. A backalley deal as it were.
And all the while be labeled ‘produced in USA’.
“ship them to china so the slaves can cut them up, and then ship back.”
How about a shortcut - cut them up on the ship, just outside the limit, like the fishing or whale fleet.
Shipping chickens to China, maintaining a deep freeze all the way, thawing, refreezing, shipping them back - what does that do to CO2 emissions? As compared to all the Americans (or at least undocumented Americans like Mexicans and Guratemalans and Somalis, doing the jobs Americans won’t do) commuting to the processing plant in their old beater cars that they didn’t trade in on a new one in the bailout gas guzzler trade-in program, instead of riding bikes through coal smoke-filled cities as the Chinese do even when they have TB?
Forget food safety or taste. What’s the effect on the planet? (Methane from chicken manure will be the same either way, so maybe we should just eat soy McNuggets instead!)
