Some anti-vaxxe, libertard bill that will lead to diseased cattle herds in a few years?

No thanks.

How about just dose workers at meat plants with hydroxychloroquine so that they don’t get WuFlu?

I thought Trump ordered them all to open.

Was that not true?

Maybe i read something wrong.

By the time the average American is fifty, he’s got five pounds of undigested red meat in his bowels.

It's time to cut the Dept. of Agriculture, as in get rid of it.

I just had a fantasy, yes it's a moment of non-reality because I know it will never happen. Wouldn't it be great if Congress had a single bill that was, oh, let's say, 1,200 pages long the eliminates the Ag Dept and every single corporate and individual entitlement program that goes thru the Ag Dept and every single regulation ever written by the dept or mandated by congress. The 1,200 page thing isn't a set number. It's just would nice for a change to have a bill that is huge and does away with a bunch of stuff instead of growing government and regulations.

Glenn Beck had Massie on his show this a.m. to discuss this in a little more detail. I know it's a long shot, but if this was passed it could be the start of both unraveling Wickard v. Filburn, as well as reinvigorating the American meat producer against foreign competition.

A good point from the Smithfield shutdown, a local Oregon meat plant just loaded the bins with 3# packs of quality double smoked bacon, on sale!

Isn’t there a petition we can sign? Even if the petition is more appropriate for House/Senate, they would see how strong we support the subject

Corn only goes for food or raising food not fuel
Irradiation of milk and all meat
No more subsidies for not farming
Immunize roundup from lawsuits.

Meatpacking is indicative of the perverse incentives globalists and printed Federal Reserve debt have forced on American industry.

- Its highly centralized to squeeze every penny of cost. This is to allow commoditization with ruthless retailers like Walmart, COSTCO, etc… to serve the debt of everyone in the chain.

- Of course, this extreme centralization and monopoly results in “factory food” and causes extreme tail risk and fragility of the supply-chain.

- As we see now, this system exposes American farmers, who never signed up for this risk, to massive risk nonetheless.

- The business can’t be exported, so they instead bring foreign labor to their plants. Every major meat-packing plant is 100% staffed by Somalis, Hondurans or Guatemalans. the poorest of the poor

- Wages are low, so the families of these immigrants live on SNAP, Medicaid and Welfare. Meatpacking labor is a government subsidy to Agri-business.

I can buy meat from local farmers, who process it at one of these 1000 local, family-run slaughterhouses. They know each of their customers, and are true artisans. From now one, 100% of my business is going to these people.

Trump just invoked the DPA ordering all meat processors to stay open.
