Buy Your Chicken NOW!
December 15, 2008



A friend of mine in management at a local chicken processing plant says;

Tyson Chicken Plant is concerned about the price of chicken being too low. So they are destroying 100,000 eggs a day for the next 5 days, that are due to hatch within three days. Employees of the plant asked for the company to allow the eggs to hatch and let the workers take the baby chicks home, but the managers said no, and that two other large corporations were doing the same.
I can't reveal the source for obvious reasons.
But you'd think that Tyson would give the meat to charity.

Yeah yeah. I’d rather shoot rapists than ducks. :)

We get Amish baked goods and meats out here as well. Would much rather pay the slight premium for homemade, no chemical foods than the other crap.

I don’t eat meat anymore, but we have local farmers here whose wives work at the university, and you can get locally grown and butchered meat by putting in an order with the wife.

“This is like OPEC reducing output.” That would be Chicken-pec.

They would be choking off their chickens?..........

This post proves the old adage, “pot in every chicken.” ;)

“Boy this stuffing is good, but why is it green.” ;)

May have to start raising them myself.

Chicken debate is nationwide

You can have mine, thanks.

I tried it, once, and discovered that when you get past the smell, the flavor is actually worse.

Some rock salt does wonders for the flavor. ;^)

A plate of vegetarian beans or a nice salad and some delicious fruit tastes better to me than greasy meat filled with hormones. My blood pressure has dropped back to normal levels since I went vegetarian and it only took about two weeks. I go easy on bread too. So much of it today is made from insoluable fiber instead of soluable, and acts like tiny slivers of glass going through your intestines. No wonder colon cancer is so prevalent today.

We are being raped by ‘Big Chicken’!

Excerpt from here:

" ... If the exemption is granted, the restrictions of sections 406(a), 406 (b)(1) and (b)(2) of the Act and the sanctions resulting from the application of section 4975 of the Code, by reason of section 4975(c)(1)(A) through (E) of the Code, shall not apply to the past sale by the Plan of certain hatcheries, a freezer facility and an office complex (collectively, the Properties), all located in Arkansas, to Tyson Foods, Incorporated (the Company), a party in interest with respect to the Plan, provided that ..."
" ... 8. Among the Properties are four chicken hatcheries. Three of the four hatcheries are located in Washington County, Arkansas. These hatcheries are known as: the Lincoln Hatchery, Johnson Road Hatchery and Randall Road Hatchery. The fourth hatchery is the Nashville Hatchery which is located in Howard County, Arkansas. ... "

Do you still think they don't have hatcheries?

$0.98/lb at Meijer this week. I was going to fill one quarter of the deep freezer. Maybe I’ll go half.

Was the exemption granted?

I don't know. My friend just told me about the eggs, and not much else. I just hate to see life destroyed, before birth. I guess those destroyed eggs could be used in dog food.
