I recently saw a Food inspector on TV... He said he had lived overseas
and he had seen the filthy conditions their foods are raised and
processed in.

It is enough to make you throw up. Some foreign workers have to wear
masks as they work in these places, because the food is so rotten and
filthy, it makes them want to throw up. Many of their Fish on Fish
Farms are fed Raw sewage daily. He said he has seen so much filth
throughout their food growing and processing that he would "never" eat
any of it. They raise this filth , put some food coloring and some
flavorings on it, then they ship it to the USA for YOU to consume and
feed to YOUR families. They have no Food & Safety Inspectors. They
ship it to you to buy and poison your families and friends.

Imported food we eat and the junk we buy

Green Giant frozen vegetables are from China , and so are most of
Europe's Best.

Arctic Gardens are Okay. So is Birdseye.

Never buy the grocery store garlic unless it is clearly marked from
USA or Canada, the other stuff is grown in people poop (even worse
than chicken poop).
China is the largest producer of garlic in the world. U.S. is next.

Buy only local honey, much honey is shipped in in huge containers from
China and re-packed here.

Cold-FX is grown and packed in China and is full of fecal bacteria.
Doesn't work anyway, big scam. If
the country of origin is not clearly marked beware.
If produce, ask an employee.

Watch out for packages which state "prepared for", "packed by" or
"imported by". I don't understand the lackof mandatory labeling,
especially the produce.
The country of origin should be clearly shown on the item in the
store. I go to the local farmers' markets in season and keep a wary
eye open the rest of the year.

Please read this very carefully, and read to the very bottom. It's
important for all of us.

How is it possible to ship food from China cheaper than having it
produced in the U.S. or Canada?

FOR EXAMPLE THE "OUR FAMILY" BRAND OF MANDARIN ORANGES SAYS RIGHT ON
THE CAN 'FROM CHINA '. SO, FOR A FEW MORE CENTS, BUY THE LIBERTY
BRAND.
GOLD BRAND OR THE DOLE IS FROM CALIFORNIA
Beware, Costco sells canned peaches and pears in a plastic jar that
come from China.

ALL "HIGH LINER" AND MOST OTHER FROZEN FISH PRODUCTS COME FROM CHINA
OR INDONESIA .
THE PACKAGE MAY SAY "PACIFIC SALMON" ON THE FRONT, BUT LOOK FOR THE
SMALL PRINT. MOST OF THESE PRODUCTS COME FROM FISH FARMS IN THE
ORIENT WHERE THERE ARE NO REGULATIONS ON WHAT IS FED TO THESE FISH.

Recently The Montreal Gazette had an article by the Canadian
Government on how Chinese feed the fish: They suspend chicken wire
crates over the fish ponds, and the fish feed on chicken s--t.
If you search the internet about what the Chinese feed their fish,
you'll be alarmed; e.g., growth hormones, expired anti-biotic from
humans. Never buy any type of fish or shellfish that comes from these
countries: Vietnam, China, Philippines.

Check this out personally. I did. Steinfeld's Pickles are made in
India - just as bad!

Another example is in canned mushrooms. No-Name brand came from
Indonesia.

Also check those little fruit cups. They used to be made in Canada in
the Niagara region until about 2 years ago. They are now packaged in
China !

While the Chinese export inferior and even toxic products, dangerous
toys, and goods to be sold in North American markets, the media wrings
its hands!

Yet, 70% of North Americans believe that the trading privileges
afforded to the Chinese should be suspended!

Well, duh! Why do you need the government to suspend trading
privileges?

SIMPLY DO IT YOURSELF, CANADA AND THE U.S. !

Simply look on the bottom of every product you buy, and if it says
'Made in China' or 'PRC' (and that now includes Hong Kong ), simply
choose another product, or none at all. You will be amazed at how
dependent you are on Chinese products, and you will be equally amazed
at what you can do without.

THINK ABOUT THIS:

If 200 million North Americans refuse to buy just $20 each of Chinese
goods, that's a billion dollar trade imbalance resolved in our
favor... fast! The downside? Some Canadian/American businesses will
feel a temporary pinch from having foreign stockpiles of inventory.

Just one month of trading losses will hit the Chinese for 8% of their
North American exports.
Then they will at least have to ask themselves if the benefits of
their arrogance and lawlessness are worth it.

START NOW and don't stop.

I saw something a while back about chicken from China- really disgusting filthy stuff. I used to buy chicken jerky for the dog, but after that, I definitely read labels and only buy it if it's from the US.
Ginger root is another thing to worry about along with the garlic.

And while you are at it, stop shopping at Walmart! They are responsible for
1% of China's enormous GNP!

LOL!

G.

Note: I have no problem with Walmart but I can't be considered a
supporter of them. I've only shopped there 3 times in the last 5 years
and never even set foot in the grocery area.

For those here that boycott Walmart because they don't take care of
their employees well enough, why not start tipping the employees if it
bothers you that much. Your purchase rings up to $50. Pay that with
your debit card, then slip the cashier a $5 bill as a tip. That would
be a better solution than boycotting the store and perhaps making
these unfortunate people lose their jobs.

Your 2 sentences above.

So why would you boycott Walmart and maybe make N.Americans lose those
jobs that they obviously count on?

If all Walmart adds to China's GNP is 1% they're pikers, that's hardly
worth mentioning. BTW, Walmart sells less imported food items than
any other market; their international foods section is miniscule and
most items are produced in the US. As to durable goods every store
sells the same imported electronics, clothing, hardware, housewares,
etc.

Unfortunately, doing such a thing would only entrench low wages even
more.

1% of China's GDP is enormous!.

I doubt that, cukes don't ship well, have a short shelf life... and it
certainly doesn't pay to ship pickles all the way from India, the
shipping alone would cost five times as much as growing cukes locally
and bringing them to market. Cucumbers are extremely prolific,
there's no reason to ship them long distance. Pickling spices come
from India but not the cucumbers.

That sort of reasoning no longer applies these days, all sorts of
highly perishable goods get shipped from one side of the globe to the
other all the time... and still be cheaper than the local product.

It was something that I read in the last 4-5 months. I can't pin it
down now. But I didn't mean that cucumbers were grown there and
shipped here.

They are well known for lack of quality control and even out and out
deception. When a company is outed for being unscrupulous, they put the

Agreed - we sold out most of our manufacturing because of the bottome
line. But I also contend a lot of it was because of the advent of OSHA
and the Clean Air and Water Act.

It's evident today even in power generation. The owners will do as
little as possible to mitigate the negative effects of coal plants like
installing scrubbers, etc.

Cant' really export power yet. I suppose if the Japanese ever build
their orbiting solar that will be a game changer.

We should take a lesson from WWII the big one. The Japanese attack on
Pearl Harbor was a turning point in the war. It unleashed the industrial
might of the US on the Germans and the Japanese. The US had immense
industrial capacity and it was churning out steel the arms industries
and producing trucks, tanks, guns, munitions, air planes and many other
materials required to conduct a war, and a war of that scale. They had
the plants and the trained workers. I have to wonder what sort of
response we can expect if there is another major war or a really
devastating natural disaster. North American and Europe might find
themselves in a real bind if they have to count on China and other Asian
countries in an emergency.

That's nothing new. Waves of immigrants have come here to practice
trades. In this part of Canada most of the construction industry was
Italian. When I was a kid most of the skilled machinists in the auto and
aircraft industry were English or German. They flocked here after the war.

Then we'll all find ourselves in a bind. N America as a mfg giant is
long dead. No steel, no plants, no skills, no workers. China could
ramp up infinitely faster than the US. A mfg economy is partially a
business mindset and we jes don't have it anymore.

Funny how they got that attitude about a year into Reagan's first term.

Cheap and or slave labor has worked real good for keep prices low. But
we use to have laws and tariffs to ensure an even playing field. But
WalMart didn't want that. And they get what they want.

I just received this response to my inquiry:
"Dear Ms. Schaller:

Thank you for contacting General Mills regarding Green Giant frozen
vegetables.

General Mills does source some ingredients and packaging from outside
the U.S. General Mills has strong internal requirements and programs to
ensure that all of its imported ingredients and products are obtained
from safe and reliable sources.

In addition, where country-of-origin labeling requirement exists,
General Mills fully complies with all applicable laws by placing the
required label on the back of the package, along with other pertinent
consumer information. If a product is from outside of the USA, a the
package is labeled as being product from whatever country. We always
label when a product is from another country. Depending on whom our
supplier is at the time, the product could be from China. But the
product will be labeled with this information.

The health and well-being of our consumers is our highest priority.
General Mills' own internal sourcing programs and safeguards, in
combination with existing laws and requirements, ensure the safety of
our products.

We appreciate your interest and hope you will continue to choose our
products."

Gedney pickles are made in Chaska MN. They looked into doing them in
India sometime back but the quality wasn't up to standards.
