I am going to have to go into the political aspect here I don’t want to because I started Scratch Kitchen as a creative release. I can do things here without the political aspect. 4 employees of Smithfield died from COVID-19. Smithfield is owned by a China-based company. Now let’s look at the fact if they were owned by an American company there wouldn’t be any fines. Think about this, Tyson is owned by an American there were no fines for ill workers. JB Meats is owned by two Brazilian brothers who have served time for fraud. They had people get ill, no fines for either company. Nothing.
Tyson is opening clinics for their employees. Companies in the 1950s had these clinics. They were a product of Upton Sinclair’s book Into The Jungle about how the immigrants were treated and how American children were treated by companies in packing districts in Chicago. They have gone for years. Thanks to the government. Now they are being brought back and we are supposed to pat them on the back for doing the right thing. NO!
Now a Central Arkansas meat processing plant has been told they can no longer process deer for hunters in the area. Keep in mind these hunters are substance hunters. Not sport hunters. They hunt for what they need for winter for their families. No, they can’t use a source they have used for years. Let’s look closer at this. Over the last year, we have seen a push toward plant-based protein, that is for us to be eating, Now we’ve had a pandemic which disrupted our food chain. So now we have plants putting clinics back in their places, Smithfield a Chinese owned company getting fines for deaths, and meat plants being told what they can and can’t process.
