No, Gay Jason on the downlow, Tyson is not generous---except to themselves.  They do give away a lot of food.  It is the sell it or smell it deal and keeping it off of markets that prompts them most times.

Smaller packers do not have the market power to manipulate markets.  They can help a bigger player manipulate markets by going along with them, however.  Some small packers survive because they are not in the low cost high volume, low quality game. 

Making 670% more profits due to market manipulation is not an "they only make $26 while manipulating it" statement unless you are the packer or packer backer.  They always want more.  Like rkaiser said, they want it all.

I hope you get your operation reversed.  It is an elective surgery.
