American farmers might take another hit when people skip buying pork from
these packing houses.

one thing the current factory farm technique of raising pork has done is virtually eliminate trichinosis (along with public education of handling/cooking safety)

So we gonna kiss it goodbye, too... especially with more imported ground and frozen pork products in the pipeline.

Coming from the nation famed world-wide for its quality control standards...

Is this one of those times that the market will self-regulate based on consumer preferences? Or will it self-regulate based on the fact that all of their consumers have DIED OFF because of trichinosis.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinosis

Nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, fatigue, fever, and abdominal discomfort are often the first symptoms of trichinellosis. Headaches, fevers, chills, cough, swelling of the face and eyes, aching joints and muscle pains, itchy skin, diarrhea, or constipation may follow the first symptoms.

Trump has pushed no regulation on himself and ALL other GOP pigs since he stole office. Nothing new here.

You can expect your bacon and pork products , especially ground pork, to have a strong liberal opposition taste to it, as does meats in Russia and Saudi meat dished. Bone saw markets will flourish.

I wonder what he personally got from China for this deal.

That I became a vegan over 30 years ago.

These fucking tRumputunthuglicans are trying to kill people.

Pun intended

You might want to read it.

OTOH, you might not.

Glad I kept reading it, even though it wasn't written in the modern way, and seemed at first that it would be boring.

just like with the FAA. Sure keeps the wolves fat and sassy and feeding the GOP.

Chickens shall have no say in the matter......

after near death from a pork taco from a food truck.

He started violent vomiting within 20 minutes of eating the pork taco. His doctor said if his body did not reject the toxin by the hard vomiting he could very well have died.

He did not have his usual healthy skin color look, he was drained from the vomiting episodes. His doctor has him on a baby food diet until his digestive system heals itself.

Operators are standing by.

*Not a real offer

STOP EATING PORK...

Yes folks, let's modernize food inspections by having 40% fewer inspectors because that will save a whopping $8.7M/year. Wow! What a bunch of pig shit! Whatever happened to science-based decisions? Oh wait, this is a rule promulgated by Republicans, by the Trump appointed Sonny Perdue. That wonderful Sec. Ag. who has moved the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) from Washington, DC to Kansas City, MO causing 80+% of the staff to quit.

Considering that illness and recalls due to food-borne disease cost the economy billions of dollars each year, the economically and scientifically sound decision would be to increase the number of inspectors and develop an inspection system that uses the most modern molecular tools to detect the presence of pathogens and toxins that are a danger to the public.

This just reinforces my experience that Trump and his appointees are bloody fucking morons.

Fortunately, I am vegan and, therefore, keep kosher.

for someone who didn't expect to win he sure is systematically fucking everything up.

... done. Destroy America from the inside. This was
a calculated move to cause maximum damage. It will hurt the pork producers, farmers who supply hog farmers with grain and feed, people and communities that are ag related, and pork packaging operations.

Trump is not smart enough to understand all the ramifications but Putin and the FSB know the outcome.

Making America great again one rotten swine at a time.

food.
