I read the labels now for the country that GREW or RAISED the food product. If in doubt at the meat or fish counter or produce dept. I ask them to check out where it originated. I thought it was a law to have it labeled as such. My husband bought New Zealand apples this week at our local store and we live in Washington state! I heard Michael Savage say one time to only buy Haas avocadoes from California, because the ones from Mexico were fertilized with human waste. That did it for me. The illegals may contaminate our crops here, but I feel there is less of a chance than if they are in Latin America.

Our fish products in HEB are labeled. I really buy only Alaskan fish, a bit more, but..., gulf shrimp, and am reading labels of origin. I even ask about the beef and lamb.

Texas grows apples, and I find it amusing when I see Washington State apples on sale. Right now we’re getting bing cherries, and Mt Rainier cherries. The Mt Rainier look and taste like Queen Ann cherries, to me.
