New So why did the chicken cross the ocean?
[...]

"Initially, at least, the chickens will be slaughtered in the U.S. (or another nation that's allowed to export slaughtered chicken to the U.S.), then shipped to China for processing and re-export.

That’s the good news.

Mmm, mmm, good.

New This should have *legs*
Just when you thought 'bizness ethics' had hit the top of the oxymoron LIst-of-lists, you discover:
Nope.. it can get still worse.

US pet food corps have poisoned (poorly tabulated.. n-hundreds to n-thousands) of animals; people I know go to great lengths to ensure [try-to..] that
Nothing from China gets to their pet--alas, the book Food Pets Die For describes the methods by which floor-scrapings, diseased meat trims etc.
get sent to China, returned as a homogenized slurry and escape 'label' descriptions:
Called 'meat by-products', this disgusting mixture is now appearing, and in increasing percentages: often Meat By-products -now- is listed First or Second under ingredients.
(Lobbying by pet food corps allows them to escape any quantitative listings of ingredients: except the inference that 1=largest % ... on down.. to trace things with long chemical names.)

The same-China which beheaded one or a few CIEIOs for putting melamine in baby formula produced yet more CIEIOs who put melamine in pet food [to game the protein tests.]
They are insatiable and incorrigible--and we ain't gonna Change them. (We've already become Like-them.)

(Never had a Chicken McNugget (or Big Mac); certainly Won't in any next. Don't have to alter a habit.)
More perhaps than we need GMO frankenfoods labelled, clearly this end-run around FDA says:

NOW People-food shall require the same scrutiny as pet food; somehow there needs to be a way to indicate to Any Supplier:
"I will buy NOTHING 'EDIBLE' FROM CHINA / nothing Not-Inspected by USDA, from any country."
Needless to add re Bloomberg's tip-off: if this ruling isn't reversed forthwith and there are not endless demonstrations until it IS: then we shall merit eating Chinese-shit.
May this evidence of universal Corporate malfeasance just turn out to be the beginning of dismantling of Vulture Capitalism, before it poisons us literally
--along with its other toxic aspects towards all of life.

(Guess the only people Murican 'processors' can get to work in their shit-factories are.. mostly illegals.)
Doubtless many here have heard what these places look like, the high incidence of worker maimings, etc.
Sneak into Murica: Be Treated Like the Animals you just slaughtered
It becomes easier daily to contemplate some sort of Vegan alternative to our National Abattoir

Seems as if every news-cycle notices something-else even more despicable than last-week's revelation.
