big businesses like Tyson and Cargill who will blame the cost on feed versus their unsustainable business model. You can't have you products banned in countries then blame your bad business model on the feed cost. Yes the feed cost is going up, but their markets keep drying up because of all the chemicals they feed the animals. They've tried to pass the rising costs to consumers but they have less customers!!!! Even their loyal U.S. customers are turning against them.
Then I'm more jaded by any decision by big business. Are they going to move more of this operation to Argentina and import the meat? That would explain this statement from Tyson, "The facility will be used as a cold storage and distribution warehouse, and will process ground beef". Where will this meat come from?
Then to top it off, what the hell is all this stuff and about cloned cattle???

P.S. Books like "Fast Food Nation" and "Skinny Bitch" don't help.
