Okay...here's my quick reaction to your article - I'm pissed.
Obviously, I'm not pissed at you or your work. I'm pissed at these types of monstrous organizations that exert so much control over hundreds of millions of consumers. Slick marketing and lie, lie, lie will get you places in our modern world.
I can't control those companies and what they do, but I can control my thoughts and reactions...and they flow like this...I appreciate your work in exposing this level of corporate BS, and I join you and your beans by standing by and offering my help to anyone looking to escape the grip of JBS and what they offer...
Right? I can't believe this connection hasn't been covered in Eater, The NY Times, WaPo, nowhere that I could find. I believe most people would make different choices if they knew!
I fucking hate JBS. they have a facility in Michigan which is about 30 minutes from my home. Every year there are so many undocumented people working there that are not treated right or injured. They suck.
It’s infuriating how most Americans don’t know or understand where their food comes from. I was raised on a very small farm where my parents raised our own food. A couple of cows & pigs for meat, goats for milk, chickens for eggs, huge ass garden for veggies and a few fruit trees. My mom is the ultimate in the kitchen when it comes to preserving food for winter and such. My folks instilled in me at a very young age, to always know where your food comes from and support local farmers/ranchers as much as possible. I still try my hardest to eat locally harvested meat/fish, when I do eat it. And now I’ve got my folks on the vegan/vegetarian train for at least 50% of the time. I’ll definitely share the article with them. Thanks again for shedding light on this bullshit.
Our food system is so deeply fucked and when corporations deliberately obscure where their products come from, none of us stand a chance. I’m so jealous of your upbringing. We should all get some version of that ❤️
Here in the U S of A, the huge meat industry is in bed with the government via very powerful lobbies. One of the jobs of the lobbies is to find the way around laws like your carbon tax. I am not surprised they receive tax credits, just as I am not surprised the regulations and testing are not taken seriously. Hence, I refuse to eat any meat or dairy or anything animal. I am just one person, but I refuse to support this particular machine in any way. And, thanks to Michelle, I have many creative and tasty ways to do so.
It’s wild! They got a $60 million dollar bailout from the Trump admin here that was supposed to be for US farmers. Clearly they can’t stop getting free money lol

We buy a meat share from a local farm and that is the only meat we eat.
That’s the only way to do it. Everything else is really cruel beyond words
Wow. I've never heard of it but apparently there is one a few towns away from me (South NJ). Thank you for keeping us informed!
They’re expanding so quickly and I think it’s wild that not a single new source has reported their connection to JBS. Not Eater, not the Post, no one

They’re the literal worst. It honestly seems like they’re truly evil on purpose

yup, opting out is the only way to make sure you aren't getting stuck in all that bullshit. It's the absolute worst.
Haven’t seen one here in Vancouver yet either. And, WAIT, WHAT?! A fucking tax credit?!?!?!?!! Oh Justin, you continue to disappoint me….
