This has been going on in the pork industry for about 4 years now. China has taken over most of the pork industry by undercutting small hog farmers. China raises hogs in factory like environments, slaughtering thousands per day and cutting pork prices so low it forced other hog farmers out of business. Smithfield Farms is Chinese owned, along with Eckridge and a small pulled pork name I can’t remember. Buy from your local farmer. It is more expensive but taste better and they guarantee no mRNA vaccines.
We buy from two local farmers, one is Amish and the other does regenerative farming. Prices are triple of what you pay in the store, but taste better, cook faster and no mRNA vax given. It is grass fed and finished. I buy eggs locally that are organic and free range-$7-8.75/ dozen. Many people can barely afford the regular supermarket prices. I am fortunate that I worked hard all my life and saved, so far I can afford it.
