Break them up. If four meat giants can choke the middle of the supply chain, squeeze ranchers, and hammer families at the grocery store, that is not capitalism. That is cartel behavior wearing a corporate suit. Real markets require competition, not data-rigged coordination through consultants and dashboards. Navarro is right: when companies allegedly know enough about each other’s pricing to move like one organism, the consumer gets fleeced. Food is too important to be controlled by a cartel. Meat prices hit every working family in America. If Big Meat gamed the system, then DOJ should bring the hammer down hard.
Time we redefine monopolistic. My view hit 15% of market share and you diversify!
Meat protein is being contaminated with RNA which produces foreign SPIKE PROTEINS.
Stop contaminating our meat sources because of the foolishness of confined feed lots that breed pathogens! Give the animals the space they need to stay healthy. No vertical integration, which is happening in the medical field.
I am thankful that I have a friendly neighborhood meat market that processes its own beef, completely apart from the Big Beef cartel. Their store is part-owner of a large herd within my state, and they process all their meat locally, making it available to certain markets and directly to local individuals (by subscription).
Smithfield meats is owned by WH Group, formerly known as Sguanghui. They were acquired in 2013 and is the fifth largest meat processor. Smithfield is considered vertically integrated and with China being the largest pork producer in the world, I assume that a large percentage of the pork under the Smithfield name, comes from China. President Trump’s move to import beef from South America was particularly important in reducing beef prices to retain beef consumption.
I would be more concerned that it goes to China, rather than coming from there. What would prevent them from deciding to call the pigs home, and send it all to China with none available for America?
China doesn’t have the food standards and animal welfare regulations that the US has. Heavy metals, insecticides, growth hormones etc., are some of the risks consumers take when they eat foods imported from China.
Cargill is the largest privately owned agricultural corporate entity possibly worldwide, they're minutes from my home. RFK Jr mistakenly included them as being owned by other entities previously. I'd be curious on clarification on their inclusion by Peter
Lebanon was the only Christian-majority nation in the Middle East.
It's where I was born.
We prided ourselves on inclusivity. Always welcoming Arab Muslim refugees from all over the Middle East.
We had the best economy despite having no natural oil. The best universities.
They called Beirut the "Paris of the Middle East" and the Mountains of Lebanon was a tourist destination.
My early childhood was idyllic, my father was a prosperous businessman in town and my mother was at home with me, an only child.
Slowly, the Arab Muslims began to become the majority in Lebanon and our rights began to wither away.
Soon, we would find ourselves unable to leave our small Christian town without fear of being stopped and killed by Arabs. In Lebanon your religion is on your government issued ID.
As the war intensified and the radical Islamists made their way south, my home was hit by an errant rocket and my life was forever changed.
We spent the next almost decade in a bomb shelter, scraping together pennies and eating dandelions and roots just to survive.
If it was not for Israel coming in and surrounding our town, I do not know If I would be here today.
Lebanon is now a country 100% controlled and run by Hezbollah. I lost my country of birth.
I thank God every single day I was able to immigrate to America and live out the dream that BILLIONS of people only dream of having.
Now here in America, my adopted country that I have come to love so much, I see the same threats and warning signs happening now that took place in Lebanon when I was a child.
This is my warning to you, America, reverse course now while you still can.
It's not too late to save our freedom and preserve it for the next generation.

Argentina amounts to less than 3%

Independent processors are drastically needed to reduce prices for the rancher and the consumer
Thank you very much for sharing this important information with us. Greatly appreciated!

Trump started this bullshit, blame Trump
Are you Soros's replacement for the clown that used to post similar gibberish here?
