    Why? They did not buy all the pigs or all the processors, just one company. I don't buy Smithfield anyway, it is not offered in the stores I shop.

    Too late![:D]
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    Smithfield Foods (Virginia) has nothing to do with Smithfield BBQ & Chicken restaurants (Smithfield, NC). Other than the name Smithfield.
    I don't particularly like Smithfield BBQ and have not eaten there in many years.
    I do buy a lot of products of Smithfield Foods however, but will be looking at other brands if this deal goes thru.

    Carando
    Cook's Ham

    that list is just the companies that smithfield owns. nothing about that list says that hormel doesnt buy smithfield pork. see how complex it gets?

    i found one article in the la times from last year regarding hormel pork stating that they were going to switch to a different type of crate for some reason or another. that suggest that they raise at least some of their own pigs. maybe most, maybe all. i have no idea. the point is just because smithfield doesnt own the company that makes the product you buy doesnt necessarily mean that the pigs arent smith field...

    That one company is a pig of a different color all right. Still none of the products I buy are listed there, though of course I cannot be sure companies I do buy from don't get their meat from Smitfield. I don't buy all that much processed pork anyway, just pork for Souvalki. Be tough if I was way into ham though. Thanks for the heads up, I am now disregarding.[:D]

    Chuck Berry "My Ding-a-ling"

    When I was a little bitty boy,
    My Grandmother gave me a cute little toy.
    Silver bells hanging on a string,
    She said it was my ding-a-ling-a-ling.

    I know most of it but you can look it up.[:D]
