Maybe it’s just me but I think it’s a little odd that we are importing chicken jerky all the way from China when we have the largest poultry industry in the world right here in America.

USDA Petitioned to Block Chinese Poultry
by Helena Bottemiller | Jan 31, 2011
Comment:
The rule that was approved prior to President Hu’s arrival in the states in 2006 was only for poultry raised and slaughtered in the US and then sent to China for further processing. Not one chicken has made that round trip to China as of today.

All I want to eat are chickens from my own state. What happen to the law of supply and demand? I’ll pay, I’ll pay!
I can see two headlines:
1) Famine in the USA as Chinese chickens arrive late!
2) Chinese Army burns bodies of Americans poisoned by chicken!
