New York (CNN Business)One of the country's largest pork processing facilities is closing until further notice as employees fall ill with Covid-19. The closure puts the country's meat supply at risk, said the CEO of Smithfield, which operates the plant.
"The closure of this facility, combined with a growing list of other protein plants that have shuttered across our industry, is pushing our country perilously close to the edge in terms of our meat supply," the meat processor's chief executive, Kenneth Sullivan, said in a statement Sunday.

Read an article about how tons of food is going to waste and to some extent it's a logistical issue.... so, the local WalMart has a limit of 1 gallon of milk and 1 carton of eggs, yet plants are throwing out shit tons of both because they're setup to distribute to restaurants and schools.
And that apparently no one eats vegetables outside of what's served at restaurants... no surprise there though.
