Moiraine Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 "The food supply chain is breaking," wrote board chairman John Tyson in a full-page advertisement published Sunday in The New York Times, Washington Post and Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. What purpose does an ad like this serve other than to exacerbate the problem by leading more people to hoard/pack their freezers? Link to comment

My assumption was a) what you're saying and b) try to sell a higher % of their product right now before s#!t really hits the fan. But I think they are endangering the public and making things worse by making this statement. If we all have to get by on 15% less meat that's really not a big deal. If 10% of us hoard 40% of the meat because someone causes a panic, that's a bigger deal. 1 Link to comment
