They need to keep the plebes weak and malnourished. And...they want you to eat insects. Not kidding:
This is close to home for me.
Most producers were locked in to a packer. So if you sold pigs to Tyson, you can’t to Hormel or for your own label. During covid, the packing plants shut down and producers were left with meat on the hoof, so they either did pirate sales or buried them.
Now, fewer producers want to sign such contracts. The packers are mad, because a lot of good quality meat is being sent around them. Which is causing political pressure to cut the small guys out.
Long term, you will not have big packing houses. The Elite do not want you to eat meat. The question is will smaller butchers survive.
Thanks good informative reply
There are videos on Youtube of traditional family / country village hog-butchering group events. There will be more of that happening, for sure.
