Tyson foods partnering with Protix, which produces insects for food.

Their put in pet foods & animal feed.
60% of their workforce are immigrants.

They pay a $5000 sign on bonus and near
$20 an hour. Not great but livable when all work.

Just think of Billions of Black Fly Maggots and you feeding em crap to eat.
The Stank of your working conditions, appalling stank.

Think of a Possum field day when they dig under a fence.

Maybe they all are Serial Killers on the weekends.
You know drop heads all week and drop Cereal on the weekends.

More reason to cook from scratch & buy local when you can. The thought of eating bugs that carry diseases like roaches boggles the mind that it's supposed to be ok & good for you. :sick: You wonder what goes through their minds.

You don't honestly think the meat you eat isn't teeming with diseases via the bacteria on it do you? There's a reason they tell you not to wash your raw chicken in the kitchen sink or to cook your pork thoroughly and wash all utensils that have contacted raw meat carefully.

Gee, I didn't know that! Foodborne germs & illnesses that could be on meat, say it isn't so. What about veggies & other food products? Thanks for telling me ;).

Yup, I can see the ads for new & improved ground up bug meal. And there's those cooking competitions. Contestants will have to whip a scrumptious meal of "Mystery Ingredients"- ground grasshopper heads, or cricket guts.

I'm sure it's already happened.

Anyone remember the Tomorrow Show that featured the guest that won the earthworm cooking contest? Her winning recipe was for a quiche Lorraine. Don't remember if Tom Snyder tasted it.
 
I prepare all food from scratch so it wouldn't be a problem for me in that regard, but if deli turkey breast is ever effected and I cannot have a sandwich in the summer that might get a bit hard. Not impossible, just unwelcome. I also read about Tyson hiring migrants but cannot say how true this is. There are sanctuary cities close by and I have heard from real people in my world some complaints that make me a bit afraid.

Sure there's bacteria in veggies sometimes. That's why we hear of salad mix or lettuce recalls periodically. But I once saw a news story that found those plants are usually being grown near feed lots and the irrigation water can be tainted by the run off from the feed lots. That show highlighted the case of a 6 year old who'd shared a salad with his dad and the poor little guy got an eColi infection and it paralyzed him for life. Then add to those kinds of things, all the other overly processed foods that destroy our health.....

I watched a video by a guy who used to be a major cattle producer in the USA, is a vegan now and he was warning about the actual lack of inspection of carcasses that is making the spectre of Mad Cow Disease a real possibility because it can have a multi decade incubation. His name was Howard Lyman and he was one of defendants in that court case where the Texas cattle industry took Oprah to court for saying something like 'she'd never eat another burger....' He's a good speaker, would have made a great comedian or an old time preacher and in case you're interested, his talk about Mad Cow Disease is at about 41 minutes in.

The chicken washing advice is aimed at the dumbest among us. The .gov doesn't think that some are capable of rinsing a chicken w/out contaminating other nearby foods or meal prep surfaces like the countertop, faucet handle, etc during meal prep. Look for air chilled poultry - it's not chilled in a vat of cold water mixing w 100's of other chickens, perhaps spreading pathogens from each other.

Cooking pork throughly is based on preventing an infection w the parasite trichinosis.

"In the United States, pigs have become a less common source of infection due to increased control of pork feed and products. Wild-animal meat is the source of most cases of trichinosis in the U.S."

Partly digested compost from poultry operations spread on organic lettuce farms would seem to be a perfect vector for the spread of bird flu.

Haven't had any Tyson products in decades, now I won't for sure. They say we probably eat a few bugs a year anyway that inadvertently wind up in our foods.
@papa tiger "But everyone has ate Hillshire foods most likely." I haven't.
 
Well, I guess we’ll all have to be sure from now on that the Tyson poultry we’re eating is really chicken, or we might get a pullet surprise… 🤪
