On the list of top 100,000 industries, business sectors that Obama will get to vaporize off the face of the American economic landscape never to be seen or heard from again, you’re worried about chicken? CHICKEN???

Only positive is that, at least here, the chicken processing jobs are mainly Mexican. Maybe they will just go home.

I will be buying whole chickens and will use my own knives and shears to cut them up. I usually buy the local Amish ones that cost more, anyway. I can’t remember when I ever bought frozen cooked chicken, but I think it is time to increase the stockpile of canned chicken and broth before this takes effect. I need to research the source of chicken in the stock base I use.

If the backlash is loud enough, I think the domestically sourced product will brag about it on the package. This is a non-partisan issue and the Greens and Eat Local people will be all over it, I hope.

For convenience sake people are going to buy chicken that was: slaughtered in the US, frozen, sailed across the Pacific, thawed, and processed by people who don't care about quality or sanitation. Then it's frozen again, sailed back across the Pacific and distributed by truck.

That is a very well travelled bird. No thanks.
