As the coronavirus pandemic rips through meat-processing plants, forcing several to temporarily close, there have been reports of a looming meat shortage for United States consumers ...

Wendy’s big claim among large burger chains is that their beef is 100% fresh. This makes them the canary in the coal mine via a vis McDonald’s (only 1/4 Pounders fresh these days) and Burger King (?).

Yesterday, I went food shopping, and they placed a limit of 2 packages of fresh pork, two of fresh beef, and two of fresh chicken per customer.

If a shopper bought 2 packages of each of these, they would have had 6 good-sized packages of meat!!!! Unless they have a HUGE family of meat-eaters living in the same space (not likely in this COVID-19 era), that would have been MORE than enough!!!!

If President Trump likes Wendy’s, then it’s only a matter of time before the D‘rats declare a boycott.

All of them I would imagine. But so what? What's she supposed to do for them?

Hamburgers buns with ketchup and mustard but no hamburgers sound pretty bad.

That's disgusting! Now that China owns Smithfield I guess anything is meat.

The dog you pictured is a BurNese, not BurMese, which is a breed of cat.

They need to be shipped out of the country, and off the cliff, so American citizens get the joobs!

It’s a plot to force all Americans onto a vegan diet.

“At Wendy’s you’ll never have to ask ‘Where’s The Beef?’” ... except when you do.

The pork processing plants in Sioux Falls and Worthington [MN] reopened for processing today. Not at Full capacity, but it is a start.
