US to allow processed chicken (nuggets) to be imported from China

[feralkid]

With mega corporations making huge profits, with CEO's constantly garnering ever increasing exorbitant salaries and bonuses, with the economy for the wealthy improving, with Wall Street not bitching at all about "we need more deregulating", with Monsanto et al getting everything their way, with the ultra rich not whimpering a peep about "how bad" they got things right now, with our politicians being sock puppets for the rich, with all of those big businesses being showered with tax shelters, subsidies, etc. from our politicians and all of them, ALL of them operating under the banner of "greed is good, greedier is great, greediest is downright godly" and with the middle class and the poor much worse off and getting much more worse all the time, we have folks like you still thinking the way you do.

Why is that?

Lacks the ability to learn from experience. Also known as "arrested development"

And why is it that just because I spoke the factual truths of the matter, and that I wholeheartedly support the middle class of which I'm from that you think I'm a leftist? There's lots and lots of Repubs and Independents from the middle class too. Or are you implying that anyone from the middle class who supports economic policies that favor said class is "leftist" somehow?

Your brand of "economic policy" is based on jealousy, stupidity, laziness, ignorance, class-envy, lack of education and know-how, lack of skill, lack of common sense.

People with your mentality create places like Cuba.

You're the type that will end up eating tainted crap food from China because in your jealous, idiotic, childlike rage at people who have more than you, will cheerlead to 'punish' people that succeed, to the point where it makes more financial sense for a company to ship a chicken around the globe to China and back, than it does to jump through the hoops of red tape and bullshit that people with your mentality put in the way of doing it here, out of envy and ignorance.

So all I can say is, enjoy your crappy chicken- at least you'll think you got it over on some rich guy.

Aha! So that's my problem: class envy. And all this time I thought it was the very successful plutocratic oligarchaic class warfare that the very rich have been waging against the middle class and the poor for the last few decades. Well, gag me with a silver spoon and wrap me up in a mink lined straight jacket. I just got schooled.

There is Zero reason for the USA to be importing food from ANYWHERE, unless it's a rare food, not immediately available. The Duck stops here! I'm gonna keep spending my money at my small, local butcher shops, buying only locally bred and butchered meats. Sure it costs more, but only you can decide what you put in your body. I don't buy food at Walmart, for us, or our dogs. Too many idiots on this planet are only motivated by cost and when we think like that we fall right into the Chinese sales system, who, by the way, just happens to be the USA's largest creditor. Think there is an agenda there? You've got it Billy Bob!

compuwiz1: My family and I are in the same boat as you. We don't eat much that isn't grown or raised somewhere in our country. We spend more, but you get what you pay for.

Does this affect just McDonald Chicken McNuggets or are their other products?

I'm just trying to determine what to not eat.

Yea, this seriously needs a label on the package. "processed in China"
