Bring barbeque pork and bacon to work to celebrate the missing holiday in your own special way.

Tyson is easy to drop-because it doesn’t taste good!
Anyway, I dropped them WAY back when I learned how much they donated to Billy Boy and Evita.

We have NEVER bought Tyson products since we found out a long time ago that Hitlery Klinton was on their board.
This was reinforced when it was reported that Tyson had received 68 gigs in one day from the FDA for poop contaimined chicken meat.
