Speaking of Chickens-—we are now going to accept chicken imports from China.
Like we cannot raise enough American chickens to keep McDonalds supplied.
It’s weird but the chickens are actually American chickens being sent to China for processing. I do not want to catch a ride on the USS Chickenship.

And Chick-fil-A, I would add...!
Maybe it's that U.S. farmers costs have been driven up substantially. It was not that long ago that one could buy 10 lb. bags of leg quarters for $.29/lb. on sale, and $.39/lb. routinely. Now the same stores' sale ads are at $.79/lb.
Still, chicken imports from China? That's pretty amazing. It's sure be interesting to see what's happened to chicken production in the U.S. in the last 50 years. If the farms around here are any indication, it has to have skyrocketed.
Perhaps it is demand. Just consider the influx of Filipinas married to Americans and immigrating here. Not only does my (Filipina) wife eat lots of chicken, I think my consumption has quadrupled. :-)
