Jim Acosta interviewed Art Cullen author of We Crapped on Our Own Nest--about farmers in Iowa--

about how big corporations like Tyson's Chicken rule Midwest farming.

I have to check the chicken in my frig.

How immigrant workers, about 3000 in Tyson's plant alone are living in "abject terror" of being deported.

To quote Cullen "It's not these workers who are getting the bailouts. It's the big corporations."

If you can, buy your chicken at a local market.

I know it's difficult.

I've only seen cheeses,bread and vegetables and fruit at our local market, which stops at Thanksgiving.

I also try to eat as much beans and bean products like cellophane noodles and tofu.

Stay centered, stay strong, above all do no wrong.

Stay alive,choose your battles. km 10-10-2025
