Do you know where your food is from?

This was shown on "60 Minutes" a few weeks ago.  Disgusting !



Starkist Tuna is now owned by Korea, and is in big conflict with the U.S.
concerning quality, safety, and records, which Korea refuses to provide.

There have been several articles on Google about this, and even one that was
defending the eating of tilapia said to avoid the fish that came from China.
Also, I had just returned home from buying Albertson's 4-day special of 4
bags of frozen tilapia for the price of one.  Sure enough, on the top of the
bags, it read "farm raised", and on the bottom in small print it said,
"China ".

Recently a Food inspector on TV 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 &
Canada 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 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 lack of 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, or the 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.
