Aidell's usd to be good, it's now completely disgusting. Hillshire Farms (honey turkey) is barely good enuf for the cats, a bit given as a treat. That will stop.
My dog won't even eat HF lunch meat! Been going to a local butcher shop since the first of the year. A little pricy but the meat is delicious. We just cut back on the portions and enjoy. Stopped buying supermarket processed mystery meat.
If you can afford it you should buy a whole pig or a whole cow. Maybe split the cost with family and friends. Enough meat for a whole year, much healthier and better for the local economy.
I’m so glad I stopped eating these brands some time ago due to the chemicals in most foods. They don’t care if they poison you so why would they care if they take away your job and give it to an illegal?
Lots of crony capitalism scandal regarding Tyson and the Clintons, too.
'the aftermath of TARP and other widely reported instances of crony capitalism, Clinton’s behavior back in 1978 and 1979 warrants further scrutiny.
The factor that makes the cattle futures scandal relevant is that Hillary Clinton received her trading advice from Tyson Food’s outside counsel. Tyson was a major agricultural producer in Arkansas and had numerous issues that Attorney General and later Governor Bill Clinton could affect.
One such issue involved enforcement of environmental regulations affecting Tyson’s chicken-processing plants. It can be costly for factory farmers to properly dispose of chicken manure, but the failure to do so can cause serious damage. This was demonstrated by an incident at the company’s Green Forest plant in northwest Arkansas. As The New York Times reported in March 1994:
In 1977, the state pollution control agency reissued the license for Tyson's Green Forest plant on the condition that the company meet with city officials to work out a plan for treating its wastes. But the state never enforced the order, and in May 1983, the waste from the plant seeped into the town's drinking water. Residents became ill, and 15 months later Governor Clinton declared the town a disaster area.
So it is possible to link Tyson’s support for the Clintons to water contamination, an ironic circumstance given Hillary Clinton’s criticism of Governor Rick Snyder’s handling of the Flint water crisis.
The Times also reported, “During Mr. Clinton's tenure in Arkansas, Tyson benefited from a variety of state actions, including $9 million in government loans, the placement of company executives on important state boards and favorable decisions on environmental issues.”
Tyson appears to have obtained these results for what looks like a bribe delivered though Hillary Clinton’s commodities account. To quote the company’s former chairman: politics is “a series of unsentimental transactions between those who need votes and those who have money.”
This perspective should provide cause for concern today, since Hillary Clinton made $2.9 million in speaking fees from large financial institutions between 2013 and 2015. That total includes $675,000 from the much reviled Goldman Sachs. One is left to wonder whether Goldman and the other financial industry behemoths stand to gain any transactional benefits for their money.
While paid speech-making is not illegal, bribery is. Tyson might have simply made a campaign contribution to Bill Clinton back then, but that would have violated limits then in effect. Instead, Bill and Hillary pushed — and seemingly broke — ethical and legal limits to get the cash they needed.'
Good post!

they fired the first shot, I guess we're going with costco all beef dogs this summer, until costco makes a deal with the devil
Hot dogs will kill you just as easily as cigarettes. Stay away from meat paste products. Pink slime bad. Fresh whole foods good.

My parents used to do that when I was a kid. Had a chest freezer with all kinds of meat in the basement.
90% of restaurants
Important to know who's who in the food world.
Seems like seemingly competitive companies are mostly falling under a few umbrella mega-corps. Too much power in too few hands.
Maybe it is time for the anti-trust folks to wake up ....
Wilton! Quality has plummeted anyway.
