Prices going up

[Charles West]

Don't know what you are talking about but if it makes you feel Trumplike, feel sorry for you.

You go buddy!

You go buddy!

With buddies like us, we don't need enemies.

Trump agrees to vaccinate the chickens, all the MAGAs including RFK will say vaccines are our savior.

You are a farm and vaccine idiot - the vaccine is not all that effective - at least the one available. And it only takes one sick chicken to cause an entire flock to be destroyed. The anti-GMO, anti-antibiotic crowd has long fought the chicken farms over giving them any vaccine, even for coccidiosis which is very deadly on young birds. We'd lose 10% or more of a flock by their 3rd week if they were not vaccinated. And vaccination and wormer is done by eyedrops in baby birds or injecting meds in the water lines.

JG and the food Karens still think the poultry companies load chickens full of hormones and medications - but the truth is they only treat sick chickens and these birds grow fast due to genetics and diet, not supplements. As a "Nut" (nutritionist in the research dept of Tyson) told me years ago, the chickens are growing too fast to respond to such efforts. Lights in chicken houses means the birds are often active day and night and eat around the clock. That made a huge difference in their growth. They found that out in the 60s.

Anyone who took Economic class would know tariffs are not the answer.

When VAT is added to exports, then it is a tariff and Europe has a huge trade surplus with us because of it. That's why he is setting tariffs. They can remove the tariffs and the VATs and we'll both have free trade. They cannot compete with us on many things which is why they slapped a tax on it, or like corn, they ban GMO grain even though there is zero evidence that GMO grains are harmful. These are just excuses to impose literal protectionist measures.

Hey Chicken expert. Speaking of Costco chicken, I bought their $4.99 plastic bag chicken few days ago (finally finished it today) and I noticed it said NO ADDED HORMONES.
I think something must be added to get chickens grow so fast and big. Normal chickens are smaller and less meat.

I asked DeepSeek and ChatGPT whether VAT is a tariff and both said NO. So that should settle it not Trump.

USDA accidentally fired officials working on bird flu and is now trying to rehire them​

The U.S. Department of Agriculture said Tuesday that, over the weekend, it accidentally fired "several" agency employees who are working on the federal government's response to the H5N1 avian flu outbreak.

The agency said it is now trying to quickly reverse the firings.

THIS IS NOT THE ACTIONS I WAS EXPECTING FROM THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IN HANDLING THE BIRD FLU.

What is a normal chicken?

They grow so fast and big due to environmental controls.

$5.00 chicken, hahahaha. No hormones, but a sh*tload of antibiotics and a nice ammonia bath.

Costco has kept the $5 chicken as well as the $1.50 hot dog an drink since it opened. Amazing.
It's a cost loser but draws people into the store. Must be working as it's one of the most successful company in the world with stores all over the world.
When you have a great American company selling what the people want, great customer service, and treats its employees well, you can sell to the world. USA! USA! USA!

Garbage in, garbage out. Those ammonia chickens must be tasty indeed.

My wife has fine taste (lucky she married me). She doesn't like Costco ready to eat chicken recently because we forgot how it taste.
Also there's a long line waiting to get the chicken. Must be good. Or must be FOMO.
