Smithfield Foods received a $4.7 billion buyout offer from a Chinese food company. News that an agreement had been reached and was awaiting U.S. government approval sent a shiver through the community, where it is the largest employer with a payroll of nearly 4,000 people.

Stop eating the swine. If you have not already this is a good time to start. Secondly, if you eat meat, only eat what is raised locally outside of mass produced factories. And read 'The Jungle' by Upton Sinclair.
'You are what you eat.' There isn't an English speaker that doesn't have that in their subconscious. Start listening to yourself. |
