Food supply turning to fake meat

“The food supply chain is breaking,” company chairman John Tyson said in a blog post on the company’s website April 26, warning of an upcoming shortage in steak and pork. “Millions of pounds of meat will disappear” as plants close, he added. This month, the company has shuttered a meat processing plant in Pasco, Wash., that produces enough beef in one day to feed 4 million people; two of its largest facilities in Iowa and Indiana; and a chicken processing plant in Tennessee because of COVID-19 outbreaks.
Tyson’s comments parallel alerts from JBS SA, the world’s biggest meat company, and Smithfield Foods Inc., the world’s top pork producer, that consumers are likely to see meat shortfalls. On Sunday, JBS said it will shut down another beef production facility in Wisconsin."

This is the time to connect with your local food producers more than ever!  I stock up on inexpensive bones and organ meats.  Good luck with fake meat, which lacks fat soluble vitamins.  Animal fats are not the demons they're made out to be.  Malnutrition will result if people turn to lab-meat as their main source of food.  For fast food junkies, they might not care too much anyway?  This is getting interesting....the future is here.
