To prevent hoarding, some stores in the US are limiting how much customers can purchase

in terms of meat. Some when these restaurants are out of hamburgers, for example,

some meat-packing plants have briefly shut down because a bunch of workers were infected with

the coronavirus. Now, you've no doubt heard that President Trump has used the Defense

Production Act to order meat processing plants to stay open to protect the food supply.

Well, there's more news about the meat that you eat, or should I say there is news about

the meat that you might not be eating. Meat buyers in China have greatly stepped up the

amount of meat that they're buying from America. The reason China's own supply of pigs is being

decimated by a disease. So to check on to willing to pay premium prices to import meat,

Smithfield Foods, a Chinese own company operating in the US, is shipping off more meat to China,

so is Tyson Foods. Meanwhile meat producers in America are warning grocery stores to be prepared

for some disruptions. By the end of May, they say there might not be enough meat to meet the US

demand. So you get it. China is all about putting China first, which is why you should breathe a

sigh of relief that we have a president who puts America first. Competition anybody? See how that works?
