I heard on FOX this morning that some 38 chicken farms are “known” to have gotten tainted feed.
yeah off course fox is days late, but at least they are dropping their regular car chase programming or no
no guess not, dont want to ruin that stellar journalistic acumen
They have to feed that rendering plant animal by-product stuff to something, can’t feed it to cows anymore. (or at least they aren’t supposed to)
bump
So FOX is guarding the henhouse?
Got to get that extra buck to pay to your stock holders.
“If people really knew how weak the FDA program is, they would be shocked.”
We are finding out.
With the contaminated spinach, carrot juice, peanut butter, lettuce.
With hogs being fed with feed containing contaminated wheat gluten.
With chickens being fed with feed containing contaminated wheat gluten.
Tinfoil: How many other similar human-food-chain contaminations have happened recently and not made it into the news?
Unfortunately that’s all that matters to some.
Then again, it is hard to expect the FDA to operate effectively in China...
