This is entertaining, but Americans should know that Congress allowed the ban on imports of Chinese-grown and processed chicken to expire! Want melamine in your chicken and chicken parts? Toxic fast food? Sandwich meats? FDA and USDA admit to inspecting less than 1% of imported food and drugs.
Food security is national security, yet this isn't even in the news. The local poultry industry will be run under, first by a food safety crisis, then unregulated, toxic, but cheap, imports. Remember Tyson (one of China's biggest growers) and Pilgrims Pride-Gold Kist are multinational corporations (see related JBS-Brazil article). They, and therefore Congress, are all gushy about China taking over America's agriculture industry, like all the rest of our industry.
Just what are McNuggets, anyway? Think about it. Industrial sewage and unregulated drugs, hormones, and additives do make chickens fatty faster, but is it food? And watch out for the chicken fingers--they may have [laborers] nails on them.
Hail to the chicken? Campaign seeks new bird
