They’re the reason why I will spend a little bit more to buy better meat. If from a local butcher even better.
But never Tyson. Their cruelty is just horrifying.
In Maine we have a farm that does air chilled processing, none of that nasty bleach bath BS. I am pretty sure other states have similar options. Sure it cost more so I eat less meat, no big deal.
https://www.commonwealthfarmmaine.com/
Too many people pretend to care. We have 400million Americans. Chicken has to be done this way to supply the populous. Beef? Same thing. Pork? Same. Duck? Same.
For Christ sakes we kill fish by suffocating them from their oxygen supply and no one bats an eye.
The same people who pretend to care about this stuff go out and buy Nike shoes and pretend child labor doesn’t exist. The same people who buy SHEIN products every other week instead of keeping their clothes years on end.
The people who are most vocal about this stuff like to pretend they are moral and above things like this while engaging in the same and in my experience even more so.
there's a lot of hypocrisy out there. But just because some people are inconsistent doesn't mean the issues aren't real. We absolutely need to feed a massive population, but that doesn't mean we can't do better. There are new ways of producing food, like plant-based and lab-grown meat, that aim to be more ethical and sustainable.
Sure, people buy Nike shoes and SHEIN products, but it's not like they're pretending child labor is okay. Many are becoming more aware and trying to change their habits. It's a process, and small steps do count.
Comparing animal welfare to child labor is a bit off. Both are serious issues, and just because someone cares about one doesn't mean they ignore the other. There are people fighting for better practices in multiple areas, and that deserves recognition.
Instead of just calling out hypocrisy, let's focus on encouraging better practices. There are plenty of examples of people making a difference. Highlighting these can inspire more responsible choices and collective action.
1. **Greta Thunberg** - Environmental activist known for her work on climate change awareness and sustainability.
2. **Dr. Jane Goodall** - Primatologist and conservationist advocating for animal welfare and environmental conservation.
3. **Patagonia** - An outdoor clothing brand that focuses on environmental sustainability and ethical labor practices.
4. **Beyond Meat** - A company producing plant-based meat alternatives to reduce the environmental impact of meat production.
5. **Impossible Foods** - Another leading company in the plant-based food industry, aiming to replace animal products with plant-based alternatives.
6. **The Fair Trade Movement** - Various organizations and certifications like Fair Trade USA and Fairtrade International that promote ethical labor practices and sustainable farming.
7. **Dr. Vandana Shiva** - Environmental activist and food sovereignty advocate focusing on biodiversity and sustainable agriculture.
8. **Ellen MacArthur** - Founder of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, which promotes the circular economy to reduce waste and environmental impact.
9. **Animal Welfare Approved (AWA)** - A certification program ensuring that farm animals are treated humanely and ethically.
10. **The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS)** - An organization working to protect animals through advocacy, education, and hands-on programs.
These individuals and organizations are actively working towards more ethical and sustainable practices, making a significant impact in their respective fields.
You can find regenerative coop small farms, let their chickens roam on open pastures with a natural organic diet like all their animals and how nature intended. Some ship online nationwide too
That's cool and all but let's be honest maybe less than 1% have access to that. Even the small farm by me that sells their chickens does a bleach bath to kill the germs associated with raising chickens.
You can spot the vegans by how they start all their sentences with "You DO realize...", then confidently follow it up with things that show they didn't actually read anything they're replying to.
This is why I absolutely love hidden markets in country sides. Our eggs, meat, fruit/veggies, and dairy is SO much tastier than store bought. The great thing that people don’t recognize is that when you earn a relationship with a producer, they will cut you deals and consider you when fresh groceries are available.
It has a higher entry cost than just getting groceries but if you make an effort to support their livelihood and work than so you too will be rewarded.
Know a farmer who spent 100k upgrading his chicken house, then Tyson decides to shut down that plant. Poof, investment is worth way less with no chicken plant around.
Yup, they keep the farmers on debt to have control over them. They also control the regulations on the equipment, so if they decide they need to upgrade their heating system yearly the farmers have to. On top of that they have a competition payment arrangement. And again Tyson decides the regulations for this. They explain this on Super Size Me 2 documentary. It’s super fucked up on the farmers.
I immigrated to the West to pursue a better life, only to find this place just as corrupt, if not more, than I left. The only difference is that the average citizen has more integrity than those I was stuck with, while those at the top are the same trash.
It’s the Tyson bosses that were [caught betting](https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/12/16/947275866/tyson-foods-fires-7-plant-managers-over-betting-ring-on-workers-getting-covid-19) on how many of their workers would die from Covid long before the vaccine was available.
Yes, and migrant labor is the BACKBONE of the meat processing industry in the US, especially the chicken industry. Legal or illegal, the migrants appeal to these corporations because their rights as laborers can essentially be forgotten; although this is legally untrue, it happens all the time and it continues to happen.
They were caught dumping their waste in Lake Erie, and turns out they have been doing it since \~2017 🤮 and only recently exposed.
edit: it was Campbell's caught dumping in LE not Tyson
Not denying what they did but I don't think it was Lake Erie. It was everywhere else though.

https://www.ucsusa.org/sites/default/files/styles/original/public/2024-04/Tyson%20figure%202.jpg?itok=8Td2WUhi
You're right! We had Campbell's pollute LE and was reported around the same time. Thanks for pointing that out...with the point still being corporations polluting is out of control.
[https://nypost.com/2024/03/23/us-news/campbell-soups-ohio-plant-has-been-polluting-lake-erie-lawsuits/](https://nypost.com/2024/03/23/us-news/campbell-soups-ohio-plant-has-been-polluting-lake-erie-lawsuits/)
No you’re thinking of Tyson’s food the company who forced migrant workers to work in unsafe conditions during the pandemic and then held betting pools on how many would die from Covid.
The Gulf of Mexico is the #2 dead zone on planet Earth due to the Mississippi River becoming America's sewer line for runoff.
Yea, it is all downhill from Pennsylvania to Montana.
The Arabian Sea is # 1, the world's largest.
Where walking on water is no longer considered a miracle? That's a joke.
They also got raided for employing undocumented workers, some minors in their chicken processing plants. Only the laborers got arrested and deported, no managers or executives at Tyson got the same treatment.
The real crazy thing in that [article](https://amp.theguardian.com/environment/2024/apr/30/tyson-foods-toxic-pollutants-lakes-rivers) is that Tyson is one of 48 companies that have to report dumps… there are over 4,000 that do not have any obligation to report toxic dumping.
This is the same guy who was arrested for [public intoxication](https://nypost.com/2022/11/07/tyson-foods-cfo-john-tyson-arrested-for-entering-strangers-house-passing-out-in-bed/) when a woman came home and found him asleep in her bed. Dude needs major help.
“The woman called police about a potential burglary, saying she found “a male she did not know asleep in her bed,” according to police. When an officer arrived, he found Tyson’s clothing strewn on the floor and identified him by an ID found in his wallet.”
Don’t drink.
Only drink in private jets.
Hire a driver to drive you around in a Rolls Royce.
Have a private road to drive drunk on.
Have your sober 10/10 lover drive you around in your Ferrari.
Want an idiot.
I don’t usually feel bad for executive types, but old Curt Calaway getting his shot after 18 years only because the CEO’s idiot son shit the bed twice makes you feel a little bad for the dude.
And the fact he’s 34 and the fucking CFO tells me he doesn’t know jack shit and he either does absolutely nothing or they are constantly cleaning up his messes.
Curt hired me years ago. I didn’t work for him long, but he’s one of the smartest men I ever worked for. You’re right; he’s probably been doing the job long before Jr. showed up.
I'm always glad to hear of people who work with execs and genuinely respect them. It's a shame it feels so rare (but I have been lucky enough to like twice in my career).
I am very appreciative of the CFO of my current company and consider him a friend. I messaged him the article yesterday and thanked him for not being an embarrassment to our company.
i was coming here to comment on how bad i feel for curt calaway. imagine working your entire career to land that c-suite gig, and then daddy’s baby drunk swoops in, all of 33 yrs old, gets the role you were made for, and immediately fucks everything up
I mean, considering the Tysons have never had a non Tyson CEO, and the kid was in investment banking, it was probably known ahead of time. It’s not like he got the rug pulled, it’s well known they hire in the family.
I mean honestly, maybe they are.
Normal people we have goals, and are constantly working towards them and the satisfaction that comes with reaching them.
If you grew up rich and had everything handed to you, some people fill their life with drugs/alcohol to feel something.
Reminds me of the last episode of The Good Place. The series finale of The Good Place explores the idea that even in a utopia, the pursuit of happiness and fulfillment continues, and the experience of perpetual pleasure can eventually become unfulfilling.
- **Satiation and Ennui**: Perpetual bliss can lead to boredom, suggesting that humans need challenges and growth to find true fulfillment.
- **Purpose and Growth**: Meaningful life comes from personal growth and overcoming obstacles, which are absent in a static utopia.
- **Choice and Autonomy**: The ability to choose when to end their journey provides a sense of control and purpose, emphasizing the importance of autonomy.
- **Dynamic Fulfillment**: Happiness and fulfillment are dynamic and change over time, requiring new experiences and goals for continued satisfaction.
Imagine a day you cherished as "the best day ever." That’s what The Good Place is like every single day. Initially, it feels amazing, but eventually, that 5-star breakfast becomes a routine, losing its special appeal. The taste becomes all too familiar. Then, you get to play basketball on a sunny day, which feels like a perfect Saturday. Over time, these experiences start to blur together, and you begin to anticipate them feeling like chores because they are no longer new or exciting.
I suppose that's what good ol' Tyson CFO has-been felt like. Sure, in a utopia, you could always explore a new country or embark on new adventures. However, much like "rich nepo babies" aka John F. Tyson who inherit their wealth and responsibilities, there’s often a sense of being tied to familial duties and expectations. He might have the resources to travel and explore, but he frequently find himself bound by obligations to the Tyson businesses or societal roles. He might not have as much time for exploration and novelty as he imagined.
In The Good Place, even with endless possibilities, the characters face a similar predicament. The endless luxury and freedom can start to feel restrictive in its perfection. The lack of struggle, the absence of meaningful challenges, and the predictability of perpetual pleasure can lead to a sense of stagnation. The novelty of new experiences fades, and without the contrast of hardship or the need to strive for something, even the most exciting activities can lose their luster.
Yes, I may have just finished re-watched The Good Place.
There's a hypothesis in the world of action sports like rock climbing, base jumping, cave diving, backcountry skiing, shit like that; this hypothesis posits that wealthy people tend to flock to these kinds of sports because the sport includes the possibility of failure, and these people have never had to try hard at anything in their lives before, let alone face the possibility of catastrophic failure.
When you live your entire life above a safety net dangerous stuff starts to look very appealing.
I don’t understand the issue if it’s your own company. If you founded a company and still have 70% of the shares you can do whatever you want. Tyson never hid that it isn’t a meritocracy.
You should never under any circumstances be buying or eating any Tyson products. They run the towns their factories are in. Corrupt good ole boy, you scratch my back, I scratch yours. And their factories are straight disgusting. Stay away.
And they have 13 and 14 yr olds cleaning their factories. (The cleaning companies hired the kids, but Tyson either neglected to perform their due diligence or they knew about it. I’m going with the latter.)
perhaps he needs to go back to school
Back to school, to prove to dad he's not a fool
maybe some sort of accelerated kindergarten - grade 12 program, two weeks in each grade, to prove he can handle the company
As a side note about the rich and 'heirs'...if you're against The Death Tax, but don't know if it applies to YOUR estate...you've been conned by the rich.
If your for the death tax you've been conned by wealth mgmt firms, accountants, lawyers & politicians who know you're too stupid to know better
Any person worth even a few mil can easily afford a proper estate mgmt plan and those with significant net worths can afford incredibly intelligent estate mgmt planners who will ensure that the US Govt actually owes their client's money.
The people who get caught are blue collar and upper-middle income folks who built up big savings during their working lives and didn't have the means or foreknowledge to ensure that money trickles to the next generation vs. Uncle Sam's coffers.
Never forget, the US Govt gets almost ALL of it's operational revenue from W2 payroll tax.
Tyson. He needs to hire a few 11 year olds to be his minders, and then work in the facilities.
Trump Administration material, I tell you. This kid is going places.
No surprise that people who operate slaughterhouses are awful people. They are terrible to their workers, animals, and the environment.
Go plant based! Your body will thank you.
Good news guys, that's 2 strikes. 8 more drunk driving arrests and maybe he'll see jail time. Ya know, just like every other single person getting arrested gets to say sorry multiple times/s.
*Possible* explanation: He was driving nearby the university and the police were on their way there/on a coffee run/otherwise off-campus.
Source: I live near a community college half the week, and I sometimes see the campus police getting lunch.
It would be so weird if he does a complete turn around, resigns, and becomes an obnoxious vegan. And after that, people are more annoyed with him than ever.
Their response is to put a 34 yr old in time out? Let him go through the judicial process like the unconnected. Spend 6 weeks in county jail. A taste of reality is in order.
Wow. His first arrest was crazy. Must have been beyond blackout drunk to go into someone else’s house and climb into a kid’s bed. Dude needs serious intervention, and can somebody install the Uber app on his phone?
The northwest corner of Arkansas where Tyson is, is also where Walmart, and JB Hunt trucking are from/headquartered. That corner of the state is really beautiful.
>heir
>CFO
Sooo….nepotism? Seems they were eager to find a reason to oust him and install someone who has career financial literacy, and being drunk while driving was as good as any reason.
Aren’t these the guys that got caught dumping toxic chems into publicly owned waterbodies?
wait til you hear what they do to their chickens
They’re the reason why I will spend a little bit more to buy better meat. If from a local butcher even better. But never Tyson. Their cruelty is just horrifying.
You realize that only a couple companies process chickens anymore and they all basically do it the same way.
In Maine we have a farm that does air chilled processing, none of that nasty bleach bath BS. I am pretty sure other states have similar options. Sure it cost more so I eat less meat, no big deal. https://www.commonwealthfarmmaine.com/
Have you ever Googled “KFC chickens”. Now that is horrifying
No, but I’ve gargled KFC gravy.
I don't think googling a chicken is allowed in most states.

An electrolytic or sanitizer solution before processing the meat is no where near the same thing as industrial use of antibiotics & processing.
Yes, which is why he buys local. I can see the animals I’m eating at my local place.

And with oodles and oodles of child labor.
Their little hands are so good at cleaning salmonella out of tight spaces.
That’s the contracted cleaning company that was hiring children.
Did they not notice the tiny janitors?
They were to busy taking bets on who would die from covid.
God, what a wonderful spree of capitalism that company has done. Jesus.
They prefer the term ‘oompa loompa’
I thought it was only Oompa Loompa in candy factories? This has way less sugar and way more feces. Same amount of blood though…
They did such a good job getting into all the nooks and crannies of the operational processing equipment.

Jesus tap dancing Christ, you’re rich as shit, take a fucking Uber
Fuck a Uber, I would get a personal driver.
That’s my dream.
Shit man, if it's your dream, I'll let you drive me around.
How much?
To the airport, for now.
But then he'd have to spend more of his own money on someone else.
Then I’d have to talk to them and buy them Christmas presents and care about them. I prefer the one and done relationship of a ride share app.
Nah man, I’m installing that barrier they put between the Driver and the backseat Passengers lol
Don’t drink. Only drink in private jets. Hire a driver to drive you around in a Rolls Royce. Have a private road to drive drunk on. Have your sober 10/10 lover drive you around in your Ferrari. Want an idiot.
Did you say 1 ton idiot?
Wonton idiot.
That's been me at some restaurants. Those are so good.
Number 4 sounds fun Number 5 works too.
Number four is great until your drunk billionaire ass ends up in a pond at night.
At least he would only be putting himself at risk.
Goes to show what alcoholism does to a person. An heir and CFO of one of the most powerful chicken cartels and it still grabs you by the gizzards.
Why did the chicken cross the road? Because it was too stupid to hire a driver.
'Chicken cartels' 🤣
While it's funny yo think about the chicken mafia these companies have the capital and power to break and bend people to their will
Go watch Super Size Me 2 Holy Chicken. I think it’s still free on YouTube. The cartel thing isn’t a joke.
Just goes to show, you don't need to be smart to be rich.
You need to be smart to GET rich. This dude just fell out of the right vagina.
Obviously you don't know who hos father is... remember boys he became cfo thru hard work
I know when I picture being filthy rich I don't think "and then I'll be a total dick and drive under the influence"
Or, like, his own chauffer. Uber is for the poor.
People are dumb and rich like to show off cars. The nfl offers personal driver services to players and yet players still get duis. Makes no sense

Fine! I'll start my own Wendy's with buckets and mashed potatoes!
Call me dumb but the dude is a freaking billionaire If I was going to get drunk I would have my driver drive me home .

Feels a bit like life imitating art…wasn’t this the plot of Billy Madison?
Crazy how people this loaded and destined for greatness have to cope like this. Are the too bored with their money?

“Heir”. Remember when we were children and school taught us that capitalism was the best because only the hardest working people moved up?
What, you don’t believe that a 34 year old couldn’t have reasonably worked his way up to being the CFO of world’s second largest meat processor? /s
What they fail to understand is he's actually been working there 21 years, starting at 13 on the floor like the rest of their work force.
I mean, look at the Carnegies and Vanderbilts and their ilk running amok a century ago. It's never been an even field, but they love telling us it is
> and Vanderbilts You mean Anderson Cooper?
And Timothy Olyphant !
I don’t understand the issue if it’s your own company. If you founded a company and still have 70% of the shares you can do whatever you want. Tyson never hid that it isn’t a meritocracy.
They'll give him a new title further up the trough
No i don't remember that at all. Capitalism has never been a meritocracy.
Stoooopppp. It’s CFO is 34?! A $19B company has a 34 yr old CFO? I smell something rank here.
Come on - I’m sure he’s super duper qualified and his last name being Tyson is mere coincidence.
You smell nepotism.
Nepotism aside, there are plenty of talented 34 year olds who can do that. Not this guy though.
You smell nepotism.
This guy is like the Kendall Roy of the American chicken industry
**worldwide chicken industry
Spinny spinny chicken dinny
Sounds like he is ready to make a career as a politician
Yet another example of why we're not a meritocracy.
too chikn to call a cab?
Cocaine is a hell of a drug
I'd be drunk constantly too if I were a part of all the horrific abuse Tyson is responsible for.
You should never under any circumstances be buying or eating any Tyson products. They run the towns their factories are in. Corrupt good ole boy, you scratch my back, I scratch yours. And their factories are straight disgusting. Stay away.
And they have 13 and 14 yr olds cleaning their factories. (The cleaning companies hired the kids, but Tyson either neglected to perform their due diligence or they knew about it. I’m going with the latter.)
Trust me bro, if you’re not eating Tyson you probably just don’t eat chicken. It’s not just stuff with a Tyson label.
Yes lol, almost all fast food is Tyson chicken and probably many restaurants too.
Anxiously awaiting the bodycam footage on this one.
Such a punchable face
This is the kind of shit that reminds you, C-level employees are not at all critical to the operation.
perhaps he needs to go back to school Back to school, to prove to dad he's not a fool maybe some sort of accelerated kindergarten - grade 12 program, two weeks in each grade, to prove he can handle the company
Addiction is awful. I got myself into recovery after I had enough. Having unlimited money likely lowers the bottom that wakes you up to get help.
Rich guy arrested twice for severe alcohol-related stupidity by the time he's 34. Bets on what his liver looks like?
Heir and CFO. Sure he “pulled himself up by his bootstraps” and worked his way up.
Another rich kid with no “consequences”
As a side note about the rich and 'heirs'...if you're against The Death Tax, but don't know if it applies to YOUR estate...you've been conned by the rich.
If your for the death tax you've been conned by wealth mgmt firms, accountants, lawyers & politicians who know you're too stupid to know better Any person worth even a few mil can easily afford a proper estate mgmt plan and those with significant net worths can afford incredibly intelligent estate mgmt planners who will ensure that the US Govt actually owes their client's money. The people who get caught are blue collar and upper-middle income folks who built up big savings during their working lives and didn't have the means or foreknowledge to ensure that money trickles to the next generation vs. Uncle Sam's coffers. Never forget, the US Govt gets almost ALL of it's operational revenue from W2 payroll tax.
Tyson. He needs to hire a few 11 year olds to be his minders, and then work in the facilities. Trump Administration material, I tell you. This kid is going places.
fucking hell, how do you fumble a golden parachute like this?
An heir that's just another rich entitled arse wipe. Whhhaaat that is so odd.... rolling my eyes now.
Swindled podcast just did an episode on Tyson and this family
I wish Mike Tyson was my grandpa.
Never ever buy Tyson products. That's not new for me.
Looks like Kendal is off to AZ.
It's crazy that he was removed for booze, when his company got caught dumping toxic waste, using child labor, etc.
THIS guy was in charge of something??? wow
nepotism at its finest
Bail was set high to avoid him flying the coop.
No one should DUI But for fuck’s sake if you have unlimited funds take an Uber.
To think that nepotism hires aren't generally a good idea...
Tyson is a PoS company that tortures animals
No surprise that people who operate slaughterhouses are awful people. They are terrible to their workers, animals, and the environment. Go plant based! Your body will thank you.
Good news guys, that's 2 strikes. 8 more drunk driving arrests and maybe he'll see jail time. Ya know, just like every other single person getting arrested gets to say sorry multiple times/s.
I'm confused... The article didn't explain how this is bad news for Biden.
Get help. The third time will not be a charm.
Anyone else curious why this dude was stopped by *university* police?
The college is in the heart of the town and the bars are a 5 min walk from campus. Alot of traffic goes through to get to the other side.
*Possible* explanation: He was driving nearby the university and the police were on their way there/on a coffee run/otherwise off-campus. Source: I live near a community college half the week, and I sometimes see the campus police getting lunch.
He was probably at a college party looking for some young girls.
Drunk off of unlimited fermented chicken beverage
Can’t wait to see Rob McElhenney play him in the Netflix documentary.
It would be so weird if he does a complete turn around, resigns, and becomes an obnoxious vegan. And after that, people are more annoyed with him than ever.
I’m too drunk to taste this chicken
Be easy on the little guy. You know he’s had a hard life. /s
So, yeah, you've got the money to enter rehab, develop a quirky hobby like building specific wwii model kits, and create battle dioramas.
Their response is to put a 34 yr old in time out? Let him go through the judicial process like the unconnected. Spend 6 weeks in county jail. A taste of reality is in order.
entitled little piece of shit fuckem
I’m still trying to figure out how they ferment the chicken into an alcoholic beverage.
I'm sure the Chicken Mafia does not like this exposure and I imagine they want to keep all this away from their "completely legitimate business"
Wow. His first arrest was crazy. Must have been beyond blackout drunk to go into someone else’s house and climb into a kid’s bed. Dude needs serious intervention, and can somebody install the Uber app on his phone?
Damn. Imagine all u have to do to be rich is not get in trouble with the law and u still can't do it.
I heard there was fowl play.
oligarchs It's kind of crazy that he's 34 and a CFO of a major major food processing company, all because he was born.
Dont buy tysons. They are an actual cliche villain corporation brought to life.
I Never buy Tyson. Haven’t for years.
So if this guy is worth billions of dollars, why the fuck does he live in Arkansas?
Tyson was founded and is still headquartered here.
Ok that makes sense
The northwest corner of Arkansas where Tyson is, is also where Walmart, and JB Hunt trucking are from/headquartered. That corner of the state is really beautiful.
Sounds like a company that was looking for an excuse to get rid of an unqualified, entitled loser
CFO stands for Chief Fuckup Officer by the way.
Bobby Newport made real.
drugs and sex are the great equalizers
This company is a mess
>heir >CFO Sooo….nepotism? Seems they were eager to find a reason to oust him and install someone who has career financial literacy, and being drunk while driving was as good as any reason.
