You must have proof. Mind sharing it with us?

I notice you've conveniently ignored the factual examples about US
history I'm mentioned and continue to harp on the Chinese. OK.

Let's take hummus as an example. Where do you get your chickpeas
from? Are they GMO? How do you know? What herbicides, insecticides,
fertilizers are used on them. What are the possible side effects?
How do you know?

Bottom line, you don't. You think you know what the press has told
you. Who tipped them off? Why hasn't the press been as diligent
about the educating US consumers about the 80% of some US crops that
are GMOs? Why was Oprah sued by the Beef Council? Why are stores no
longer advertising non-rBGH milk?

You are beyond naive, you are selectively blind!

OTOH, I've got all the stuff to make yer hummus and look forward to
it, polluted as it may be.
