Avoid buying pork products from China!

How can one tell?

The ribs and tenderloin I bought at Walmart didn't say one way or the other...

Partner, you ain't lying!

We know now that the Chicoms have lost 50% of their pigs to the swine flu.

Now, they want to agree to a mutually agree trade policy. We know that President Trump will tell the Chinese to get their heads out of their posterior in kinder words, of course.

The way we see this is that the Chicoms have benefitted immensely ever since President Nixon met with the Chicom Leader Mao in 1972. The Chicoms were an impoverished nation in 1972 and now with all the technology they have stolen and cheated.

The know how and ingenuity of American High Tech companies, American companies not so High Tech, American scientists, and American Engineers have given the Chicoms the communist dominion over all the world that they have wanted since they started building up their armies, air force and naval forces. It is very obvious what the Chicoms are doing.

No POTUS has done more for the U.S. in seeing what the Chicoms are doing to the world than our current President Trump.

All we have to do is look at what the Chicoms are doing to Hong Kong!!!

We also need to scale back the amount of scientists and engineers coming into the U.S. to steal high tech and cheat to give this info to the Chicom government and give them everything they have learned in our Universities.

Don't buy any food from China.

I won't even buy dog treats from China.

See, you just want everyone to starve. Because if they print where our food comes from on labels that means people will starve!

And this is why their ‘boycott’ of our soy is a moot thing. They don’t need the soy right now anyways. And might not for a while...soy is what they feed their pigs.

Sweet and sour pork ribs or pork fried rice...pork chow mein? It’s probably safe to eat, but why take the chance?

They had the same issue last year. Looks like they didn’t get a handle on it.

I guess this means we can expect a season of Swine Flu in our future.
I had swine flue in the 60s. Not fun.

“Avoid buying pork products from China! I wouldn’t put past them to use those pigs.”

Why would anyone buy any meat product from China?
Wasn’t it just 1 or 2 years ago that Indian workers in Africa discovered that the canned pork they were getting from China was actually from aborted human fetuses? That caused a sh*t storm when it happened.

You never will.

Congress does not want you to know where your food comes from.

That, and massive campaign donations from places like China is why COOL legislation will never pass as long as there is a foreign influenced Deep State.

Countries that are proud of their production label the source, from Argentine beef, to Chilean grapes to Turkish figs to New Zealand lamb.

Countries who are ashamed of their quality pressure congress to never pass COOL laws.

Oh, and BY LAW, chickens raised in America, can be processed in filthy self-inspected (no USDA inspectors allowed thankyouverymuch) Chinese processing plants can be labeled as “Product of USA”.

Because they DO NOT KNOW it is from China, our betters in congress have repeatedly decided that COOL legislation (and you) are unworthy.

I just did a google and bing search. No direct hits on Chinese pork sold by Walmart in the USA on the phrase “Walmnart China Pork” in any combo. When I search “Where does Walmart get meat” and “what country does walmart meat come from” I get all kinds of returns about Walmart, but NEVER a direct answer.

I did find a forum where somebody said China bought Smithfield, which sells most pork products in Walmart, but there’s no reputable link saying so.

Someone is hiding the real answer, or the Internet doesn’t know, and I’m stumped as to why.

After a while, I realized the truth.

The truth is plain in what you can see or NOT see.

Since I can find no information on the web if Walmart sells Chinese pork, the answer is:

They do. They just don’t want us (the consumer) to know.

Or google is ‘disappearing’ the data.

They are trying VERY hard to suck up to China. VERY hard.

(Bing uses google searches)
