The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission subpoenaed Tyson Foods last Monday, investigating allegations of colluding with other major chicken producers to drive up chicken prices starting as far back as 2008. Pilgrim's Pride and Sanderson Farms are two of the other companies. They are all vehemently denying the accusations.
In the "golden age of chicken" with beef and pork prices skyrocketing and health advocates steering consumers away from red meat, consumers have left beef and pork behind in favor of leaner meat. Last year, consumers spent about $90 billion on chicken products, which chicken consumption more than doubling in the past 40 years.
I don't know about you, but if they are guilty it's going to leave a fowl taste in MY mouth... play on words intended.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
