The United States will issue new rules and $1 billion in funding this year to support independent meat processors and ranchers as part of a plan to address a lack of “meaningful competition” in the meat sector, President Joe Biden said on Monday.

The Department of Agriculture will spend the $1 billion from American Rescue Plan funds to expand the independent meat processing sector, including funds for financing grants, guaranteed loans, and worker training, said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, who was speaking at an event with Biden.

Attorney General Merrick Garland, also speaking at the event, said “too many industries have become too consolidated over time,” and that the antitrust division of the Department of Justice has been chronically underfunded. North American Meat Institute spokesperson Sarah Little said staffing plants remains the biggest issue for meatpackers and that the White House plan would not address it.

Yes it's what this world needs, more slaughter and more carbon pollution for the environment, and more carcinogenic cancer causing foods for even higher cancer rates.

There is too much centralized control. I believe it’s the meat packers. Here’s the problem. They all know what it is. They can fix it. The meat lobby is powerful, and Congress is worse than manure.

Biden still don’t understand that more free money from the government makes everything more expensive. 🤔
