Would you buy chicken from "China" ? And besides the global cabal said it's not fair. We should not care where our meat is from.

Ummmm . . . Chicken is meat, as is fish.
What will it take for you guys to see the horror of the industry you defend to the end? Who do you think paid for this bill to go through? Look it up, it will be american meat companies/brokers. Hope that leaded rat goes over well at your next barbecue

Buy meat from a local butcher instead of our Chinese overlords and you'll know where it came from.

This sneaky shyte will continue to sneak through if the global corporatists can't get the TPP like they want. It's friggin' insane. These corporate goons want to see their crap sold all over the globe so they can partake on the profits and nothing will stop them---but you NEED to get involved and stay ON TOP of the back-pocket politicians who are passing these crappy laws! Also...did you know this: Mental health 'professionals' (and I use that word loosely) have now classified concern about healthy food as a mental health disorder! Can you believe it? Check out the link below. The thing is---most Americans have been programmed to think that big food/big ag is good--just think of all the food name brands you grew up with--and all the commercials on TV over the years about pop tarts, chicken nuggets, the jolly green giant growing your peas and green beans, elves baking cookies inside trees--the list goes on. Get my drift!?!?! American food was Disney-fied back in the 50s and 60s and it's only gotten worse. Turn off the dang TV---find a farmer's market or grow some food yourself. Grow some food before that is made illegal. For pete's sake--the world has gone mad and WE have allowed it to happen right in front of our eyes. Sad. Also, for the record--eating animals is unsustainable for every possible reason I can think of. So just stop buying meat and this issue goes away.

^^^Correct, plus not everyone is able to have a garden i.e., condos, apartments with no balcony, sun or enough space.

Oh, but the WTO darned sure wants to know whether they're getting GMO food from the US.

Find yourself a farmer in the area.
Get yourself a freezer and stock up.
Vacuum packed meat can last up to 18 months.
You can buy anywhere from 1/8 to a whole cow, choose your cuts and know where your meat came from.

You probably already are. Isn't some of our chicken sent to China for "processing'?

Big Ag probably owns half the members of our government.
