If my math is correct, 2.5 billion pounds of meat is 7.14 lbs per American.

I'll pick up a bucket of KFC tomorrow.

If everyone does their part, we'll get through the current "meat crisis" just fine.

What ever will our poor meat farmers do? I guess we'll ALL have to run out and buy some turkeys for the freezer... maybe some of the big ones!

2.5 Billion Pounds of Meat Piles Up in U.S. as Production Grows, Exports Slow

Question? If we have so much meat just sitting around, why am I experiencing problems getting meat for my restaurant on a weekly basis? This week, our provider, US Foods, one of the largest distributors in the country, are experiencing rib shortages this week, resulting in my restaurant not having one of our best selling items. Last week, it was chicken wings. Three weeks ago we couldn't get boneless chicken breasts because once again, the distributor was having trouble getting enough product from their providers. If we have this giant surplus of meat, then why are major distributors having so much trouble keeping food in stock for their customers? Seems like providers would be chomping at the bit and ready to ship pretty much anything they could, if they were actually sitting on this much meat with no where for it to go. Which is why this story seems quite odd to me. The claims in the article just don't add up.

You must be a paid bot just looking for any and every possible way to start negative threads about Trump.
Frankly I like engaging real people with their own personal views, who are motivated to engage in rational discussion about things we might agree or disagree with.
However even if you have passion for the liberal/leftist point of view, I want it to come from the gut, not motivated by being a paid bot.
Thus even if you look in the mirror and think "I know I am a leftist, so why not get paid for it", that is not the same thing.
I say this because far too many posters seem to get the same message at the same time, and then regurgitate the same message in unison.

Lefty is clueless and wants no part in a real conversation, it's simply ignorant attack after ignorant attack aimed at the President all because the most qualified democrat to ever run for President lost.
