The Poison in Our Pork: How Ractopamine, Banned Worldwide, is Sickening Americans Thanks to Big Ag and Government Corruption

The post features a clip from Brett Pike of Classical Learner, who pulls no punches: “You’re being poisoned for profit.” Pike highlights how big food companies stuff pigs with this toxin to make them “bigger, fatter, faster,” leading to horrific side effects in animals and unknown long-term dangers for humans. While our enemies abroad protect their citizens, Washington’s captured regulators let corporate greed run wild, infecting our breakfast bacon, school lunches, and family dinners. This isn’t just bad policy—it’s a betrayal of American families by a system rigged against us. Ractopamine, a beta-agonist drug developed by Big Pharma giant Elanco (spun off from Eli Lilly), is added to pig feed in the final weeks before slaughter to boost lean muscle mass and cut fat, padding profits for factory farms. In the U.S., it’s ubiquitous: Up to 80% of pigs get it, along with 30% of cattle and turkeys. But the toll on animals is devastating. Over a quarter-million adverse events have been reported, with more than half resulting in sickened or dead pigs.

Pike nails the corruption: There’s a revolving door between the FDA and Big Ag outfits like Monsanto, where regulators bounce to cushy industry jobs after greenlighting poisons. This crony capitalism thrives under weak leadership, especially with leftists expanding government bureaucracy while ignoring real threats like this. Heritage Foundation analyses show how such additives block free trade, as seen in U.S.-Taiwan deals stalled over ractopamine bans. National Review echoed this in pushing for a U.S.-Taiwan FTA, noting Taiwan’s ban on ractopamine-treated meat as a hurdle. Why do our regulators lag? Because Big Ag lobbies hard, and spineless politicians let them, turning Americans into guinea pigs. The human cost is insidious. Ractopamine residues in pork could contribute to our obesity epidemic, heart disease rates, and behavioral issues—problems conservatives attribute to processed junk foisted on us by globalist elites.

Fox News lists it among chemicals to avoid feeding kids, alongside arsenic and hormones, warning of bulked-up livestock at the expense of safety. In California, a proposed ban on certain food additives highlighted ractopamine’s dangers, with nutritionists fretting over ingredients that make U.S. pork unwelcome abroad. Yet, the FDA claims residues are minimal after a withdrawal period, but who trusts them after COVID mandates and vaccine pushes under left-wing influence? This scandal infects us all: From hospital meals to fast-food bacon, ractopamine seeps into our bodies without labels or warnings. X users like @WIVReports decry how leaders want us “dead and broke,” with school lunches dosing kids unknowingly. @IronSage_
warns it’s in US pork alongside growth hormones and pesticides, banned in 175+ countries. Even @RFKJr_Official , now aligned with Trump, has been tagged in calls to end this, tying it to China’s ownership of Smithfield Foods—our largest pork producer—demanding clean meat for their market while we get the dregs.
