to go back to basics and not purchase processed foods. Buy fresh, whole chicken (Tyson, Perdue ... I know I know ... hate to patronize them but at least they're not in China) and fix your own damn chicken your own damn way.

I follow the adage ... shop the 'outside' aisles of the grocery store. Produce, bakery, meat and dairy ... screw the inside aisles where all the prepackaged and processed stuff resides.

It shouldn't be such a monumental task to put pressure upon the food processing and distribution industry for voluntary country-of-origin labeling occurs until the inevitable horror stories about Chinese chicken become commonplace.

you beat me to it.

looks like all i`m going to buy is whole chickens from the local market.

raising chickens in a unregulated china,no qc at the processing plant.shipping them frozen across china then send them over on a boat ,then once it gets here it will be packaged. what could go wrong?

They are raised and slaughtered in the US, shipped to china for processing, then shipped back! Insane. That's how they get around country-of-origin labeling. I've never bought a lot of processed chicken but I will be very careful to avoid it now.

Then let china process them into whatever they do with ' American grown' spent factory farm laying hens

Just not the processed stuff. Our major purchases at the club stores are 5-10 lbs bags of boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts, easier to store and prepare than a whole bird.

I will assume that it's ALL tainted/poisoned.

at a small organic, bulk food store in our town. It is processed and raised humanely so it is much better than what we can get in the grocery stores.

There is a reason tilapia, tuna and 'farm raised salmon' is so cheap. It's a bad time for omnivores.

It's like letting the RCC run a day care center----nobody's lookin'

But they shouldn't be able to ship them back in any form. Let them take the live chickens and kill them at sea for all I care. We don't want your shitty leftovers.
