This has been a hot topic over the last few months. Should a President be able to order plants to function in a crisis situation or not? We have seen Trump order plants who have had employees diagnosed with COVID-19 refuse to work in unsafe conditions back to work. I don’t blame them. No one …

Food Recalls and Unemployment
Hello! How are y’all doing? I hope well. This blog and video are going on both channels. We’re going to talk about food recalls and the new unemployment numbers going up. What does this mean for us? A couple of days ago I came across an article about how the Tyson plant in Columbia South …
News From The Food Chain
Here we go into another week in the twilight zone. The first article is about how Kentucky officials want the Department of Justice to investigate the meatpacking industry.

The Take Over Of Our Food Chain
It has finally happened my friends. Yesterday I came across an article where Trump had issued an order for meatpacking plants to reopen. NOW!

Food Supply Chain Breakdown

Changes To A Grocer Near You
This is a quick video interview with my daughter who works as a courtesy clerk. There have been many changes in the store where she works. The video will explain all of them. No! She isn’t on camera that’s two reasons. 1. She’s under 18. 2. She’s not comfortable with camera. Antonia does understand my …
Sad Run Through Kroger
Things are getting slim picking. They’re only going to get slimmer. The truck they expected this morning never arrived. Even when they do, it’s not a full load as usual. So while we are in a panic over the COVID-19 our stores are seeing the consequences of a poor harvest. Now the farmers can’t get …
