How many of you are boycotting Tyson's foods? I admit I figured that was the issue when I heard of the drop

Question

in sales there, and the COMMENTS on this story seem to say the same. The article, though, blames bird flu fears and mad cow disease fears and never mentions boycotts.

Did you ever fear bird flu in a US market (so far?)

Are you or do you know anyone who is boycotting Tysen's Foods?

Answer 1

I haven't bought Tysons for some time now and I definitely have not had any fears about "bird flu" in the states.

Answer 2

No, i'd not boycott them in accordance with this. at the starting up, the different religions you pronounced don't have a 5 prayers-a-day requirement of their dogmas, so i do not see how a workplace like this can call for a chapel for the Christians, a circle outdoors for the Wiccans, etc. And it is compared to they are construction a Mosque both. in the journey that they were allowing Muslims to wish, yet not allowing sensible accomodations for different religious practices (e.g. letting a Hassidic Jew go away paintings after dusk on Shabbit) then i might want to be certain an issue. otherwise, i do not see how this cuts into paintings time any better than allowing yet another worker a lunch destroy and an afternoon espresso destroy. i do not care in the journey that they use that element to face Mecca or face the espresso gadget.

Many people who are against illegal immigration and those who hire, harbor and help illegal immigrants (aliens) have been boycotting, not only Tyson Foods, but Miller Beer, Citgo gasoline, Pepsi Products, Taco Bell, and numerous other companies who are considered anti-American lawbreakers.

Mad cow and the bird flu are good excuses and probably are used to give plausible deniability to the fact that law-abiding American people are sick and tired of supporting companies who are anti-american, law-breaking, greedy companies. After all, which sounds better, a boycott or bird flu and mad cow disease as a good excuse for a drop in sales?

On the one hand, the government keeps trying to tell us the food is safe and we drink polluted water, breathe polluted air, suffer through every other kind of excuse to give the government more control over our lives. So why would companies want to admit that the people who work, pay takes, and spend their money in the USA actually have complete control over what is happening in the country if we would only exercise that control? Why, when we do exercise that control through economic boycotts would the government and these companies want to admit that we are actually effective in our endeavors?

Answer 4

that is not why they lost money. the reason his grandson stepped down was because he was taking money from the company. that was the talk i herd when i worked they're. they was talking about closing a plant or two down because they didn't have the funds to keep them open. i never worried about the bird flu or mad cow decease in america. they had to cut back on supplies for the workers.

Answer 5

sorry i don't buy tyson food but not because of the whole immigration thing, i'm just trying to eat healthier and cutting back on meat. as far as what the others say,then I guess you must not live in Tx,because as far as I have seen around here nobody is boycotting anything.

Answer 6

I don't buy Tyson they are way over priced. I buy the grocery brand it is so much less.

I'm not afraid of the bird flu. Haven't gotten sick yet. I clean my chicken before fixing it and clean my cutting board with bleach afterward.

Answer 7

I dont care to purchase anything produced by Tyson foods for the simple fact that they opoerate contrary to American immigration laws and legal hiring practices.

Answer 8

i have been waiting for this. i have been boycotting Tyson's. i don't buy their meats. my aunt works there, she said the mexicans are very nasty the way they treat the meat. if falls on the floor and they pick it back up and throw it back on the line. and what igive 2 said about tyson's my aunt said she herd the same thing.

Answer 9

We are...and we are also boycotting ALL other companies that are posted on the wehirealiens website.

Illegals are destroying our financial infrastructure and if we don't stop this with great enthusiasm, we will surely end up another third world country.

Answer 10

I only eat organic meat anyway...tyson don't care if their chickens roll in poop all day and eat it as long as consumers don't care and keep buying it
