The boycott might be working!!!!!

SPRINGDALE, Ark. - Tyson Foods Inc., the world's largest meat processor, on Monday reported a wider-than-expected loss in the third quarter, weighed by one-time charges and losses in the chicken and beef sectors.

The company also lowered its outlook for the year.

Loss for the quarter ended July 1 totaled $52 million, or 15 cents per share, compared with a profit of $131 million, or 36 cents per share during the same period.

Results were hurt by charges of 8 cents per share related to a legal settlement and plant closings.

Revenue dipped 5 percent to $6.38 billion, from $6.71 billion last year.

Analysts, on average, predicted a loss of 3 cents on revenue of $6.63 billion, according to a Thomson Financial poll.

I'm loving it !!

Anyone have Tyson's address so I can write to them and gloat??

Boo-frickety-hoo, my miniature violin is playing a very sad tune.

Here's an email/web form (couldn't find the postal address via my quick Google search, sorry...):

Yeah, I don't buy any Tyson stuff at all anymore - and I check everything I buy to be sure it wasn't re-packaged or otherwise disguised in labeling and such too. Now, I go out of my way to find and support local (when possible) producers that don't use nor support illegal's.

I quit buying Tyson food in May! It's working. America does not want to fund illegals, socialism or anarchy!

I keep writing La Raza(the race) sponsors. Tell them to stop funding hate and anarchy! There are plenty of other patriotic hispanic organizations to sponsor! NOT this one.

Thanks !!!! I'll get a mail off to them today. Their losses just made my day.

Looks as though they won't have as much to contribute to the Democraticand Republican party this year.
