FOX:
Tyson Foods Inc. is lowering some prices it charges supermarkets and restaurants for beef, after coronavirus-driven disruptions at meatpacking plants have led to a surge in meat costs.
The Arkansas company, which processes about one-fifth of the nation’s beef, plans to reduce prices for ground beef, roasts and other beef products by as much as 20% to 30% for sales made this week to restaurants, grocery stores and other customers. The move will help keep beef affordable, said Noel White, Tyson’s chief executive. read more
Go to your local butcher shop if you can find one. Our small town store buys locally raised so I’m not supporting muslim run Tyson.
If you’re on a steady diet of Tyson meats you are probably dying early anyway.
Support your local butcher. That meat won’t be injected with poison and you’re supporting local rancher, feed suppliers and of course the butcher.
I just got back from the grocery store where things are normal and there are no shortages. (Of course I’m not going to tell you where it is.)

There’s still empty shelves for some things here in Cali. Like Pasta. I have no idea why Pasta. Beans and rice, plenty. Toilet paper is hard to find.
So they’ve been charging 20 to 30 percent more than they had to previously?
When I ate meat, I sure as hell wasn’t eating any Tyson garbage. Feedlot beef and commercially raised chickens are poison. Both are raised on a soy based diet and the cattle are pumped full of antibiotics to keep them alive.
Commercially raised chickens grow so fast that the growers can lose up to 10% of the “crop” to broken legs and heart attacks. They’re raised in inhumane conditions as well. I’ve seen both chicken and turkey “farms” and going to hell would be to die and come back as one.
Feedlot cattle, when slaughtered, are mortally ill. I’m with BB, find a local rancher that grass finishes his beef. You can customize the way you want it processed and will pay less per pound.
Or hunt, I loved venison and their livers are phenomenal(also 100% grass fed!) I might just check out the hunting here in my new home in the Ozarks this fall, I miss it and at the very least, the meat sure won’t go to waste.
get all my meat from the local butcher shop that gets their meats from the local farms & occasionally from a local farm that sells their own butchered beef, pork & chicken
Couldn’t find filet mignon for Mother’s Day dinner last week. Ah, first world problems, right? Then I remembered the venison tenderloin in the freezer that my husband’s co-worker had given him as a retirement gift. Paired nicely with the lobster tail.
