1. I have to wonder if pharma

has cures and assistive ready to go (manufactured a plant and a half over from the mostly wood pulp shrimp factory)

[Enthusiast]

2. How can "our" Democratic President favor trade deals that will make this worse?

There are no laws governing what the Chinese feed the chickens they are raising for our market.

They can use any amount of ANY antibiotic on the chickens. They could actually fatten the chickens on deceased diseased animals or even dead human beings if they wanted to. I understand it is common to fertilize Chinese fields with "night soil"*.

And we won't know if the chickens are raised in Ohio or China.

Mr. President, WTF? You aren't even pretending to be on our side.

*human waste

3. We need a big program that provides us with "straight from the farm" meat and produce

and we need it not just for the rich.

That would be a business opportunity for someone.

[Enthusiast]

4. I'm with you.

We are fortunate enough to receive gift venison from friends. But that doesn't solve the chicken question.

5. Mmmm. Chicken Feces in my morning Eggs...

Why inconvenience Poultry farmers?
