Tyson Foods purchased full page advertisements in The New York Times and other newspapers describing how there are some major problems with the food supply chain.
Tyson Foods didn’t mince words in a full page @nytimes ad Sunday, warning, “the food supply chain is breaking.”
“As pork, beef and chicken plants are being forced to close…millions of pounds of meat will disappear from the supply chain,” John Tyson wrote. pic.twitter.com/0jJxrMOngw

I’m certainly no fan of these large food processing companies, but there are many legitimate concerns surrounding the food supply that were directly caused by this lunatic lockdown situation. Any attention being shed on this problem is good even if it comes from a company like Tyson Foods.
But instead of people agreeing that there is a major problem, people are spending their time bashing the messenger and whining about how Tyson Foods is an evil corporation that does bad things. They’ve even been accused of promoting irrational fear when there are a wide variety of documented problems with the food supply. This isn’t some hoax like the coronavirus pandemic.
There are also groups like PETA who are using this opportunity to promote veganism.
The only thing at risk is Tyson Foods' bottom line, as the #vegan food supply is plentiful and will not only save animals, but will also likely save humans from heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, and all the other killer diseases related to eating meat.

At this point, I do not give a shit if Tyson Foods is an evil company or not. They are raising a valid concern. We have farmers destroying crops and food processing plants closed which is obviously going to cause a problem with keeping people fed.
I want to talk about how this problem can be solved. Right now, there aren’t very many people who are proposing solutions.
A good start would be to reopen the economy and arrest people who have been scaring people into thinking that the coronavirus is some doomsday plague. It is not a doomsday plague and the people who keep pushing this narrative are criminals who should be arrested. They are scaring people into thinking that it is not safe to work at these plants and that they could die. This despite the death rate of the coronavirus being no worse than the flu and the people who have allegedly died from it are mostly old people and people with preexisting conditions.
But whatever, I guess maybe we can all become vegans. Problem solved right? I mean, this guy is a vegan and he looks very healthy.
