By now you might have read about this new proposal by the USDA to allow US born and slaughtered chickens to be shipped to China for processing and then returned here. Yeah, you read that right. The country responsible for untold pet deaths due to salmonella chicken will now be in charge of processing the stuff for the humans. The kicker? No notification needed that your chicken fillet has been secretly accumulating frequent flier miles. As of now, they will be processing things like nuggets and patties, but since this seems to be a don’t ask, don’t tell situation, who knows where the trend will lead – – vegetarianism!
But justincase you aren’t a big chicken fan, how about the news that Smithfield’s gonna be bought by Shuanghui International Ltd.? Still not concerned?
All I can say is I still have a freezer full of American clearance chicken but once that’s gone I will be doing the chicken dance with Zaycon. And here’s a plug for them:
Zaycon is taking orders now for their semi-annual chicken breast event later this month. Zaycon won’t be back until sometime next Spring. Cost breaks down to $1.84 a pound for boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Zaycon chicken breast is:
• 100 % natural chicken with no added hormones, additives or artificial ingredients
• Comes directly from the processor and has never been frozen
• Sold by the case — 40 lbs in each case
