McRib controversy: The pork supplier’s 'hellish' methods

Makes you want to run out and eat a feces burger or mcrib from Mc Death....Yummmy

I'm shocked to hear that there is actual pork in the McRib.

I do not eat pork-I live in Israel, where most Jews and Muslims do not eat pork, but even though the pig and other creatures are unclean, it is not right for Smithfield or other goyim pork raisers to abuse living creatures in such a horrible way.

A rule of thumb for meat producers...If it walks, swims, flys, crawls, has a heartbeat and a face it Never needs to be treated like ear of corn being processed. Our family owns a small farm and we raise a few head of cattle for beef. There is NO reason to abuse any animal..

Smithfield sells a lot of pork products in a lot of markets. Why is McDonalds being singled out for abuses supposedly commtted by Smithfield?

McGross!

Wake up corporate farming and food production is nothing new, and it's not pretty. Big producers like Smithfield can pay off the FDA and function as if nothing has happened. Smaller livestick suppliers face a lot tougher scrutiny.

Eastern NC. we have 100's of industial Hog farms ... You can not get the Mexican folks to work at them. I worked a family run Farm no more than 600 hogs and they lived outside and were allowed to run... the factory Farms are Hell on earth... Plus the waste is stored In lagoons were they spray the waste into the air or spray it on the fields ... The smell is enough to gag a Maggot plus the water table is all messed up because of them... there are Far more humane ways to raise But, the cost... will be high... so cheap food made under horriable conditions or our food that Cost more But, you do not have to be ashamed that you do

The McRib always gave me the McShits.

IF YOU DON'T EAT IT YOU WILL BE SENDING THEM A CLEAR MESSAGE....................

this is why its against the law to film inside meat plants. they don't want another upton sinclair incident.

Watch Food Inc.

I live in VA near Smithfield and this is nothing new for Smithfield they are constantly in the news for the poor way they treat not only their animals but their employees. This is nothing new for these people.

A rib like substance. Livin' large!

I live in Israel. I do not eat pigs. Most Jews and Muslims (nor vegitarians) do not eat pigs..so what do I care..about Smithfield extreme abuse of female, pregnant pigs or other things they might do. It is not correct to abuse any living creature..I do not raise pigs or rats..but I would not do that...even to a rat...or a pig.

A giant corporation lying to the public? Really? Really-really???

We all have to think before we make choices on where to eat and what to eat. Mc Ds will not pay for a high cost animal wheather it be fish,fowl,beef or pig. Pricing and deals are done under contract. There are no Mc Ds employees standing around the pig farm saying that this is right or wrong. The bottom line is that the mighty dollar needs to be made. So, please, do not eat at these types of places and they will stop producing meat at these slaughter houses. Now, we all like to eat but, do not want to see where the meat comes from or how it is obtained and how it is treated before we eat it at a place of business. I am a chef and do have to kill live creatures like lobsters or fresh whatever.. It is not my favorite thing to do, but it is my job. The people that work at these slaughter houses are only doing their job. They most likely get paid minimum wage and are unskilled. That is why they are there to begin with. No one wants to do that kind of work. Just like the beautiful strawberries in the grocery store.... are you willing to pick berries for 7.00 dollars an hour? It is a sad and precarious situation we are talking about when it comes to mass production of anything. Meat is mass produced so that the many people of the world can have the privilage of eating at Mc D.s Isnt it just top notch and the best food one can buy?? Dont support these organizations and they will stop the mass production of food. Just my opinion.

Smithfield was caught on film and they still maintain conditions for the animals are ideal? Cruel and liars.

just stop eating rotting flesh,,,

It's more of a problem of institutionalized farming. Pop and Mom farms tend to take better care of their farm animals. Not all of course, but most would take better care.
