I’m glad I don’t like chicken that much.
Funny I was investigating community supported agriculture just yesterday. It’s looking more attractive by the day.
Let me get this straight. We are going to ship live chickens from the USA to China, then they are going to cook them and send them back here to us?
The term for it is Merchantilism. We've allowing our trading "partners" to do this to us for decades.
THAT is how I read it. My guess is that we ship them dead....easier to pack.
Don’t worry about it. It’s not real chicken.
What’s next? Burgers? Only eat home-grown veggies, chicken and beef.
Salon has a convincing scare story about chicken.

Back when Clinton was president, the Agriculture Department made a nasty bit of work on behest of Arkansas chicken giant Tyson Foods, a big supporter (read “bribery”) of elected officials in Arkansas.
The deal was this. Puerto Rico had a large, decentralized but protected chicken business, a livelihood for tens of thousands of poor Puerto Ricans. Puerto Ricans prefer dark meat, unlike most Americans that prefer white meat.
Well, Tyson Foods had tons of extra dark meat, so the Clinton regime took away Puerto Rico’s protections, so Tyson could dump it on Puerto Rico at ridiculously low prices. Which impoverished tens of thousands of people by putting them out of business.
That would have been bad enough, but then the Clinton administration removed the requirement that the Tyson chicken be freshness dated. So vast amounts of repeatedly frozen, bacteria laden, old chicken were dumped on Puerto Rico. Sold for retail even if it was slimy and green.
Almost needless to say, Salmonella and other food poisoning has become common in Puerto Rico. And yet, they still vote for Democrats.
Because Free Trade Communism WORKS!! Just ask any Free Trade Communist
I am tired of subsidizing the Communist Chinese...and now we lie about their crap products
And this will get worse if Obama’s Free Trade deal with the EU is done. The EU will surely label Communist Chinese and Third World crap as EU Made before they send it to the US
Yes...you read that right...and its just not chicken to Communist China...a lot of Agri and ranch products are shipped to and from foreign countries for processing
Tariffs would immediately stop this nonsense
Another day another abomination is forced upon us.
Who, with a brain in their head (not many) would ever continue to buy the disgraced Tyson chicken meat (based on the gigs against facilities )?
Frau Klinton served on their board of directors.
That, indeed, served as a catalyst for nevermore, for the rest of my life, to never buy this contaminated product.
Well, yes.
But that’s only part of the evil conjured up by our evil administration.
Kiss your president’s ring.
(Don’t forget the ring is in his back pocket of his skinny backside.)
Chickens R Us
Si
I'm careful not to buy any juices that don't say "made from oranges grown in the USA" or similar...
I guess we'll need to start buying only from local farmers...
We’ll have to raise our own chickens soon I guess
This chicken will probably go into prepared foods. So stop buying anything prepared. Don’t buy cans of soup, or frozen dinners. Make your own food, and learn about the chicken you buy, where it comes from, what the conditions are like there. Know your farms.
So. How do we know this isn’t an excuse to ship perfectly good chicken to china and let them ship their contaminated chickens back.
You know, as the ‘same chickens’.
And pay them for the priviledge of doing so?
