Dumbass Sheldon, the USA is an exporter of turkeys *to* China, and we do not
import any significant amount of poultry. Your WalMart turkeys are hatched,
raised and processed in the USA.

"The United States is by far the world's largest turkey producer, followed by the European Union. Even though exports are a major component of U.S. turkey use, the United States consumes more turkey per capita than any other country."
