Speaker 0: You trust Costco with your family's dinner, but their meat undergoes a controversial process that's banned in several countries. Speaker 1: Everyone loves Costco chicken or even that rotisserie chicken from Walmart or your favorite grocery store. But what if that label on that rotisserie bird isn't telling you the whole story? What you're about to learn could change the way that you buy protein forever. Costco chicken is beloved and seen as a great deal. I know this. But recent discussions about preservatives, labeling accuracy, and contamination has put that belief at risk. Guys, look. Speaker 2: Costco is facing a lawsuit over its popular rotisserie chickens. A group of shareholders filed the lawsuit against the company over its treatment in raising chickens. Speaker 0: You trust Costco with your family's dinner, but their meat undergoes a controversial process that's banned in several countries. Most shoppers have no idea this is happening right under their noses. The real question isn't what they're doing. It's why they're allowed to do it. You know that famous $5 rotisserie chicken at Costco? The one that's been the same price since Obama was president? Well, there's a juicy secret they don't want you knowing about. Speaker 1: They label it as no preservatives, guys. And this goes hand in hand with Walmart and your probably your favorite grocery store. This is what I would call a huge scandal. There's a reason why those chickens have been four ninety nine since 2009. It's to get you in the store. It's to get you to spend a ton of money, and they've cut a lot of corners to make sure that it's cheap and easy to produce for you. Welcome, guys. My name's Cohen from Riverside Homestead. What I do is I give you guys value. I do the digging so you don't have to do it. So if you appreciate that, hit the thumbs up right now. Let the community know where you're chiming in from, what state, and let me crush your dreams on rotisserie chicken like ugh. Trust me. I know. So watch. This chicken is labeled as no preservatives, guys. And this goes hand in hand with Walmart and your probably your favorite grocery store. This is what I would call a huge scandal. There's a reason why those chickens have been four ninety nine since 2009. It's to get you in the store. It's to get you to spend a ton of money, and they've cut a lot of corners to make sure that it's cheap and easy to produce for you. Welcome, guys. My name's Cohen from Riverside Homestead. What I do is I give you guys value. I do the digging so you don't have to do it. So if you appreciate that, hit the thumbs up right now. Let the community know where you're chiming in from, what state, and let me crush your dreams on rotisserie chicken like ugh. Trust me. I know. So watch. This chicken is labeled as no preservatives, organic, healthy as it gets. We've talked about this before on this channel. Loopholes. Speaker 0: Costco injects every single rotisserie chicken with a phosphate solution before it hits those warming lights. Think you're buying pure chicken? Think again. You're paying for water with a side of poultry. This liquid injection makes each bird weigh significantly more, So you're essentially buying a sponge that's been soaked in chemical juice. Speaker 1: Did you guys know that these chickens are only about six weeks old because of everything that they pump into them? It's a marketing ploy to get you through the door for the cheap chicken and buy everything else. And there's active lawsuits right now. This is especially bred chicken in horrible conditions. Speaker 3: Grown and fattened on likely corn and soy that's GMO to create this chicken in six weeks that you're eating. They take it to a mass slaughter house where they dip it in chlorine and other toxins to make it safe, and it's leaving those residues on the chicken. And this bird isn't just seasoned with normal herbs and spices. They have preservatives in here like sodium phosphate that's linked to liver and kidney damage and carrageenan, which can degrade into polygenin, which is a known inflammatory agent and possible carcinogen. Speaker 1: Yeah. I found information on that from another doctor. Speaker 4: Doctor Tanya, what's one thing you never buy from the grocery store? Rotisserie chicken. Why? The bag the chicken is stored in is plastic, and it leaches chemicals that get into the food when it's sitting under the heat. Most stores inject the chickens with additives so that they can last on the shelf longer. Chickens are often marinated in a preservative solution. We opt for preservative free cosmetics, and then we're eating preservative infested chicken. And carrageenan. This is a chemical that precooked poultry is injected with to make it tender and juicy, but guess what? It can also inflame the gut. Carrageenan is banned in Europe, but not in The United States. Speaker 1: Yet again, another ingredient item banned in other countries, but allowed in The US. I know we love it because it's such a good deal. It's cheap. It's easy. It's taste great. I'm on the struggle bus with you guys on this one, but I'm reading countless articles, discussion about preservatives, labeling accuracy and contamination that has put all this belief at risk. Now I recently was at a Costco filming this right here. I was there. I saw it. It says no added hormones or steroids in a chicken that is fully developed in six weeks. Right there at the bottom, you can see it says no added preservatives. And have you ever wondered why it's in a plastic bag that you can put in your microwave? Microwave safe, plastic bag, put the two and two together. Speaker 3: Right out of the oven stored in a plastic bag. Nobody really knows what type of plastic bag this is, but it's likely a mix of polyethylene terephthalate. Remember that word phthalate? It's a known hormone disruptor, and this is microwave safe. So you're putting hot food into a plastic bag that can leach these hormone disrupting chemicals, and a 117,000,000 of these are eaten each year in The US. So share this video with your friends. Speaker 1: This is what I'm talking about. Hundreds of thousand millions of these chickens are sold in The US a year. This is why you need to share this out. Sorry folks, but they're just cutting too many corners these days. And it comes down to us. And who's gonna suffer? Us. They're gonna make a ton of money. So if you dive into the legal term no preservatives, they found loopholes to where they can actually put this legally. This is where the class action lawsuit or the lawsuit from a couple people in California are like, hold up. Wait a minute, you guys are using this stuff and this is preservatives, but you guys are saying it's no preservatives. In short, the processing agents that they're using can be deemed not to be called preservatives. Oh yeah, you're getting something with no preservatives, organic as it gets. Yet at the end of the day, you and I would look at that cross eyed and be like, Yeah, what they're using works the same way. It's not what you think it is. That's just what it is. I'm not sure if you guys have seen what these large scale poultry processing facilities look like, but it's not happy chickens walking around a field eating green grass and bugs. Think about the cross contamination that occurs and what safeguards exist and where they fail. For certain that these huge plants they fail. Great thing for Costco is they can scale. They can pump out millions of birds in six weeks and give it to us for a low price even with them losing money. That's right. Like I said, scammedemic kind of they will take a loss on this because they're producing at such a large scale and cutting corners just to get you through the door for that $4 and 99 rotisserie chicken so that you put hundreds of dollars of their stuff in your cart and check out. Other stores, Walmart, other grocery stores, they have caught on to this. They know what Costco found out. They're all doing the same thing. This is information that you need to consider. Speaker 5: Alright, guys. Here are three scary facts about Costco chicken that'll hopefully make you never buy this shit ever again. Alright. So I had to move on over to Lowe's to show you part two of this video. So they start by bathing the chicken in chlorine. They actually put it in a chlorine bath, and it soaks in this chlorine for about thirty minutes. Why does that and should that matter to you? I'm gonna tell you. Next thing they do is they inject the chicken with a chemical compound called TSP. It's trisodium phosphate. Guys, I'm just at Lowe's pulling this stuff off the shelves. This is crazy. I mean, this is the shit that you're allowing into your body. Read the warning label on this and tell me that this is a good idea to ingest in the human body. And then the last thing, which is I don't know if it's scarier than the other two things. They're all really bad. But they they let the chicken sit in these plastic bags, and they sit there for days on end, hours, days, whatever. It's sitting in your fridge for probably a long time. There are microplastics being released into the chicken from the plastic bags that are getting into your body, and it is unbelievably bad for you. Mean, there's microplastics showing up in human hearts, in in in men's testicles. Like, it's really, really bad, guys. So here's the deal. Everyone's gonna ask me, what do I do? Buy your chickens local. Go to your local farmer's market. Go to your local farms. They are a little bit more expensive, so just eat less or go or or just be resourceful and find deals. But stop buying this shit because it's literally killing you. Speaker 1: When I go to Home Depot and I pull TSP off the shelves, what kind of chemical is that? Speaker 6: So when you grab TSP at Home Depot, you're holding trisodium phosphate. It's a heavy duty cleaner, often used to degrease and prep surfaces before painting. Powerful stuff. Just use it with care. Speaker 1: What's the caution label say? Speaker 6: The caution label on TSP usually warns about skin and eye irritation. So gloves and goggles are a must. It'll also say not to inhale the dust and to keep it away from kids. Basically, respect the power and you'll be good. Speaker 1: What if you eat it? Speaker 6: If you ingest TSP, it's no joke. It can cause serious irritation. Think burns in your mouth, throat and stomach. The label will tell you to seek medical help immediately. No waiting. Speaker 1: So yeah, definitely not a seasoning. Speaker 1: But if you go down the rabbit hole on that one, it's gonna say that it's a different type and it's the safe version and the FDA would never allow that specific one in your food. Just a different one. So when they put it in like rotisserie chicken, they're probably just putting safe amounts of it. Speaker 6: Oh no, don't worry. They're not putting TSP in your rotisserie chicken. That'd be a disaster. Some food safe phosphates might be used in processing, totally different and regulated, but the cleaning product TSP strictly for walls, not wings. Speaker 1: Are you sure it's not the same thing? Because a lot of reels say it's the same thing. Speaker 6: Yeah. I get why those reels pop up, but trust me, food grade phosphates and TSP cleaner are not the same. The food versions are heavily regulated for safety. If they try tossing the Home Depot stuff in your chicken, the FDA would have a feel day. So no worries. Speaker 1: I'm telling you guys, it's a deep dive in half. Make informed decisions. Realize that these big companies are all about making the money, not about bringing you the safest product. And trust me, it's a little bit of a stab to me too because I like easy, I like tasty and we need that sometimes. But in this case, they may have jumped through too many hoops too many times, and it's putting Us consumers possibly in a bad position. Speaker 1: I've got two other great videos. If you guys didn't see these videos, you gotta watch these. These will blow your mind equally as much. Please let me know what you think down in the comments. Thumbs up. Share this out and subscribe because I've got a lot more coming down the pipe. Keep prepping, keep learning, keep doing. We'll see you guys on the next one.

McDonald's sells around 7 million hamburgers daily, totaling over 2 billion annually. This figure is significant when considering there are only about 1 billion cows globally, with 300 million in India where cows cannot be killed. The math suggests that the meat used for these hamburgers cannot solely come from cows. It's important to be cautious about the meat being served, especially when it comes to feeding children. The source of the meat in these hamburgers is questionable.

The speaker asserts that the consolidation of the meat processing business, enabled by the government, has negatively impacted the national economic health. They claim that two foreign government-controlled companies acquired major players in the industry. One is controlled by the Chinese, who bought Smithfield, and the other is a Brazilian company. According to the speaker, 85% of the industry is now controlled by four companies, dictating market conditions. They express concern that the government allowed over 50% of beef processing to be controlled by foreign entities, which they believe compromises food source security, especially given the current geopolitical climate. They question why a potential adversary would control 25% of US meat processing.

Over 85% of grass-fed beef in the American market is imported, not raised in America. This is a shift from the US being an early innovator to now representing only 15% of the market. Imported beef can be legally labeled as a product of the USA if value is added in this country through grinding, slicing, cutting, packaging, labeling, or reboxing. The animal can be born, raised, and slaughtered in countries like Uruguay, Australia, or New Zealand. The United States imports beef from places like Australia, Canada, and Latin America, runs it through USDA inspection, and if it passes, labels it as a product of the USA.

An undercover video exposed a Department of Education employee admitting the agency is acting as a rogue "sanctuary program" for illegal immigrants, misusing federal funds. They're allegedly evading oversight by using encrypted messaging apps to hide information from Congress. Also, most grass-fed beef in stores is imported due to repealed labeling laws. Meat can be labeled "Product of USA" even if raised overseas, potentially containing unwanted additives. Good Ranchers ensures transparency with meat born, raised, and harvested in the USA, free from antibiotics, hormones, and seed oils. They support local American farms and ranches, providing a clean, trustworthy product. Right now, Good Ranchers is offering free meat for a year.

Beef, pork, etcetera, that use Skittles to fatten the cattle What? Before they go to slaughter. Yes. You can actually Google this, any of your watchers or listeners. There was a truck carrying, an overwhelming amount of Skittles that actually got into an accident. So the Skittles were all over the highway. And when they asked where he was taking this voluminous amount of Skittles, identified it was going to a feedlot. And so understanding that not just grains, but also candy, things that are discarded by the processed food industry are designed to fatten the exact animals that we are purchasing in many instances in our grocery stores that we are then consuming. We have diseased metabolically unhealthy animals which are being slaughtered, which we then go on to eat and consume. And I'm the first person to say that the quality of the food we eat matters.

The speaker says the cattle industry has changed dramatically due to government allowance of meat processing consolidation. Four giant companies consolidated, which has a detrimental effect on national economic health. The government allowed two giant companies controlled by foreign governments to acquire US companies. One is controlled by the Chinese, who bought Smithfield, and the other is a Brazilian company. Four companies now control 85% of the industry and dictate who gets what, where, and when. The speaker claims the government has allowed over 50% of beef processing to be controlled by countries outside of the US. The speaker questions why the US would want an antagonist controlling 25% of its meat processing, citing food source security and the geopolitical situation.

Over 85% of grass-fed beef in the American market is imported, not raised in the USA. It's surprising that this imported beef can legally be labeled as a product of the USA if value is added here. We compete with it every day. The value is added through grinding, slicing, cutting, packaging, labeling, reboxing, and transportation. However, it's important to note that the animal itself is born, raised, and slaughtered in countries like Uruguay, Australia, New Zealand, and 20 others.

JBS and National Beef, controlling 85% of the US beef market, are owned by Brazil. Brazil also owns Cargill's Pork Production, the second-largest pork producer in the US. Smithfield Meats, owned by China, is the number one pork producer in the US. This is alarming to the US public.

Speaker 0 explains that the time from hatched egg to market for chickens has dramatically shortened over the years. He notes it was four months when he started fifteen years ago, then eighteen weeks, then sixteen, fourteen, and twelve weeks, and recently reads that organically raised chickens are going to market in eight weeks. He questions how the industry can claim there are no hormones, given these rapid changes. He asserts that the key lies “in the field” and describes the practice of modern farming: a farmer buys fertilized eggs and signs a contract to buy food only from that egg supplier, with big multinational companies involved. He adds that the farmer also signs a contract prohibiting any attempt to find out what is in the food, stating that it is proprietary. He asserts that this lack of disclosure is accepted and enforced by the government. He emphasizes, “We don’t use hormones, but we won’t tell you what we give them,” highlighting a lack of transparency. The overall claim is that the industry maintains there are no hormones, while underlying contracts and proprietary practices control information about the feed, and government support reinforces this arrangement.

America's food is banned in 30 countries and is allegedly killing people. Lay's potato chips, for example, have different ingredients in America versus Europe. Over 10,000 food chemicals are allowed in the American food system that are not allowed in other countries. This makes it easier for food companies and gives products longer shelf life due to the chemicals. When people lobby for healthier food choices, the food industry lobbies against it with millions of dollars.

Greeley, Colorado, is near a JBS USA slaughterhouse that kills up to 5,400 cows daily, totaling nearly 2,000,000 annually, and is surrounded by CAFOs. JBS, the largest animal protein company, has been linked to corruption scandals. In Brazil, JBS executives admitted to paying over $150,000,000 in bribes to over 1,800 politicians, including two presidents, to secure loans, dodge fines, and fuel expansion. In the US, JBS faced fines for price fixing, endangering workers during COVID-19, and polluting air and water near rural communities. The current food system involves corruption, collapse, and public dependence on a private empire. An animal-free, transparent, and just system is possible. Rethink food, power, and Greeley.

Organic foods are often seen as pesticide-free and better for the environment and health, but are customers really getting what they think? Whole Foods, the leader in organic foods, imports much of its organics from China, which raises concerns about the quality and safety of the food. The USDA doesn't inspect imported foods and instead relies on private inspectors. Whole Foods uses a company called Quality Assurance International (QAI), but QAI has not certified any products in China. There have been instances of contaminated food from China, including strawberries with pesticides and bacteria. Counterfeit food has also become a growing problem, with criminals profiting from selling cheap and dangerous imitations.

The University of Nebraska tested a quarter-pound patty destined for McDonald's to determine the number of DNA strains present. The test revealed over 1,300 different strains of DNA in that single patty, which is a concerning finding. In contrast, the speaker's shop processes one animal, using all the whole muscle trim from that single animal to produce their ground beef. This means there are over 1,300 different animals represented in one McDonald's quarter-pound patty, compared to one animal in all the ground beef chubs sold at the shop. The speaker suggests consumers consider this when purchasing beef and recommends buying American and buying local.

The cattle industry has changed due to meat processing consolidation by 4 giant companies, two of which are controlled by foreign governments (China and Brazil). This raises concerns about national security and control over our food source. It is alarming that countries outside the US have significant influence over our meat processing, posing a risk to our geopolitical situation.

It's challenging to change the cattle industry's reliance on antibiotics and vaccines. Some beef labeled as "product of the USA" may not have originated there. The debate over beef's healthiness continues, with concerns about how cattle are raised. Bug protein and lab-grown meat are emerging alternatives. Only four major companies dominate beef production in the US, leading to a lack of local butchers. The art of butchering is fading, making it difficult to find quality meat cutters.

The cattle industry has changed due to meat processing consolidation by 4 giant companies, two of which are controlled by foreign governments (China and Brazil). This raises concerns about national security and control over our food source. It is alarming that over 85% of the industry is now controlled by these companies, impacting who gets what, where, and when. Allowing foreign control of such a vital industry poses risks to our economic and geopolitical stability.

Speaker 0: Over 85% of the grass fed beef in the American market is imported product, not raised in America. In twenty years, we've gone from being a very early innovator to just a mere meager portion of 15%. Speaker 1: The worst part is that imported beef is legally labeled product of The USA. Speaker 2: How's that? Speaker 1: If value is added in this country, it's a product of The USA. Speaker 1: If they grind it, slice it, cut it, package it, label it Speaker 0: Rebox it. Speaker 1: Transport it. But the animal make make no mistake. The animal was born, raised, and slaughtered in Uruguay, Australia, New Zealand, or 20 other countries. Speaker 2: The United States imports beef from places like Australia, Canada, much of Latin America. It then runs that beef through USDA inspection, and if it passes, sticks a label on it that reads product of The USA. How dare you?

USDA scientist, now whistleblower, says 70% of the ground beef we buy at the supermarket contains something he calls pink slime: beef trimmings that were once used only in dog food and cooking oil now sprayed with ammonia to make them safe to eat and then added to most ground beef as a cheaper filler. Zernstein, who in a USDA memo first coined the term pink slime, is coming forward to say he won't buy it. It's economic fraud. It's not it's not, fresh ground beef. Zernstein and his fellow USDA scientist Carl Custer both warned against using what the industry calls lean, finely textured beef and is widely known now as pink slime. But their government bosses overruled them. Why didn't you consider it beef? Because it was a salvage product. Leftovers fat that had been heated at low temperature and the excess fat spun out.

Some health foods banned in other countries include American chicken washed in chlorine, American ground beef with pink slime containing ammonia gas, pork with Ractopamine linked to health issues, salmon with chemicals like methylmercury and antibiotics, and milk with a synthetic growth hormone called rug that increases cancer risk. These additives are approved despite their negative effects on health.

A whistleblower has revealed that 70% of ground beef sold in supermarkets contains a filler known as pink slime. This filler is made from beef trimmings that were once used in dog food and cooking oil, but are now sprayed with ammonia to make them safe for consumption. The whistleblower, a former USDA scientist, calls it an economic fraud and a cheap substitute. Despite warnings from scientists, the USDA approved the use of pink slime, labeling it as meat. It was later discovered that the decision was made by a former Under Secretary of Agriculture who had financial ties to the company producing pink slime.

Billions of people have received contaminated products, which should not have happened. If meat at the grocery store is found to have toxins, it is immediately recalled. However, vaccines with known contamination are being administered to billions of people worldwide. This was revealed through our reporting. It is concerning that these contaminated products are still available in the consumer marketplace. When a crib causes the death of two children or a tire leads to multiple accidents, they are taken off the market. Yet, intentionally adulterated vaccines with undisclosed gene sequences are still being sold.

The largest pork producer in the US is Chinese-owned, leading to negative impacts on small farms. The hog industry has seen a drastic decline in independent producers due to vertical integration. Smithfield Farms, the top pork producer, is Chinese-owned, raising concerns for consumers. While reversing the hog industry's consolidation may be challenging, efforts can be made to prevent similar issues in the cattle industry.

BlackRock owns the four meat packers in the country, who are keeping meat prices high and cow prices low, hurting both farmers and consumers due to their monopoly. BlackRock also owns all the pharmaceutical companies. The speaker suggests initiating antitrust suits against the meat packers and regulating pharmaceutical companies to prevent cartel-like behavior.
