Do you want China....or Mexico.

Just found in my supermarket Green Giant frozen broccoli .....from Mexico.

I will not support this.....cookies, candy (Hershey's) cereals, etc etc....all from Mexico.

Do you want China....or Mexico. ---------------------- Mexico. Too much a chance of poisoning their relatives. I've always been a fan of Mexican Coco Cola in the bottles. Mexican produce is another matter though.

Seems like you must go hungry a lot.

Statistics from the U.S. Department of Agriculture show that Mexico by far is the most important supplier of fresh produce to the U.S., accounting for 69% of U.S. fresh vegetable import value and 37% of U.S. fresh fruit import value in 2012.

Our family hasn't bought GG in years. Roughly, about 20 years ago, the Wall Street Journal had an article by a couple of award-winning journalists who were chronicling the demise of manufacturing in America due to NAFTA.

One of their reports was about GG shutting down a canning plant in California and moving it to Mexico. The Mexican workers were going on strike there because the new factory was only employing them 11 months of the year so they could claim they were only part time and therefore not even have to pay the pitifully low Mexican minimum wage.

I wrote GG saying this was BS, as I now could now not trust the quality of their products since I figured the unhappy workers might be spitting in the cans.

Never got a reply, so we switched to their competitors and never looked back.
