Yea most on here love their Toyota trucks Guess where 95% of the profits go to ? Comparing apples to oranges. Toyota never started out as an American owned company that was later sold to foreign investors.

Walmart meat shelves look like that early morning when they're switching to fresh stock for the day. There was beef roast for 4.49 today but I didn't bite. I buy it to grind into burger. Go out back to the dumpster and grab all the meat from yesterday for free. It gets ground into hamburger if it's not bought as another cut. Walmart puts their garbage in compactors and nothing is available. I hauled Walmarts garbage for years. When they throw away donuts, the employee doing it is escorted by another employee to make sure nobody gets a free outdated donut. They are thrown into a special dumpster that is biodegradable foods which is padlocked.
Life ain't supposed to be easy.

Why bash Smithfield meat or workers, none of it is "Chinese" except the corporate ownership.
I watch hogs roll to the local 100+ year old Smithfield plant on a regular basis within a couple miles of my house. The animals are American, mostly raised within a couple hours drive of here and killed and processed by both old and new Americans. A pretty fricking American story. If you're against any foreign corporate ownership, start dumping it ALL, not just Smithfield.
Now, do I wish that the Chicoms had not been allowed to buy Smithfeild in the first place, yeah but that's another story... Well said.

The nitrites and nitrates found in ham, bacon, salami and other processed meats are what is causing many cases of colon cancer. Better off to not buy it..except of course bacon once in a while.
Cheapest bacon I saw last week was in a Sav-A-Lot, like 4.59 for a 10oz package. I agree with you.

No that was a meat manager that over ordered and clearing those hams out before they go out of date! That’s what I thought but look at the label Sell by March 9

They had hams .49 cents per lb Might be China ham but dang it’s good Keith got it right; Remember there is a import ban going into China right now, so they have to dump. There was 90 ref-tractor trailers running loaded at a local plant. When the pigs are in the system you cant stop it over-night. The Due date is 9 March 2022 on that ham.

We buy all our meat (beef and pork) from local small growers that is butchered at a small local butcher shop. The quality is much better. Yes, it costs more but I ain't supporting the commies anymore than I absolutely have to.
Buy local and support your small local producers, or don't but don't complain when big Ag gives you shortages, nitrates and crappy tasting food.
Oh I do support local shops We have bought 3 beefs from Amish butchers here last 3 years But NO One that eats ham would pass on a 3 dollar ham because the parent company sold to China !! Don’t beat your all American chest and lie just because you didn’t luck up on the deal Is foreign owned meat companies only thing off limits!! What about ammo? Guns ? Reloading components? Heck TRAPS!!? Does it matter if the products they pedal are made in China OR just the financial aspect ? Start banning China anything you better get ready to go off grid You think China doesn’t own any part of our energy companies
