Thanks for sharing this story. Tyson's actions are disgusting and not surprising. Here in Iowa we see the same practices by meat packing plants.

Yes, I have heard from reporters in other states that Tyson and other companies are taking similar actions.

Thank you, quietly following this story out because despite the COVID vaccine, COVID related issues continue to affect workers.

Eons ago it started with egg farming. Seriously, Arkansas was known for it’s eggs, oh, and it’s rice. The time came when poultry was viewed as the healthy meat, eggs were given a bad rap over cholesterol. Fast forward 46 years later and I am wont to ask, “Which came first, the egg, or the chicken?”

Crazy!

Great work, Alice!

I would love to write about chicken nuggets because the favorite food of children is basically a mix of chicken blood & bones, skin, and breasts that flow through a river of butter & then get fried.

Go after Tyson’s unfair labor practices, the treatment of their workers. My earlier comment referenced the old days of Tyson. They’ve always been jaded. When poultry farming for meat hit center stage they were noted for their cramped chicken conditions and Frankenstein food hormones used to fatten up chicken for turnaround sales. Deformities aside, it’s time for this story to hit center stage. You go, girl!
