You rarely can tell where anything is manufactured. Look at a label and you’ll see “Distributed by ... in the USA” ... the “manufactured by (country) ...” is NOT there. I have written my senators and congressman asking that the little flag of the manufacturer’s country be on everything. The “flag” becomes their brand. They screw up on pajamas, they lose sales on anything else with their flag on it. Right now, if you saw a Chinese flag, you wouldn’t touch the product ... but right now, YOU DON’T KNOW who manufactured most of this stuff ... it is HIDDEN from us. I think this is a basic consumers’ right to know issue. (No answer from any of my emails).

Good luck with that. I have come to the conclusion that our government is neck-high in chicken$hit when it comes to wanting to protect us. It's all about the money & power with them, I think it's way past time we clean out the chicken coop.

We need to do this ourselves - our government won't help us anymore - and in fact - I think is actively working against us. A boycott hits these companies in the pocketbook and that's the only thing that these people understand.
