Have you seen the farming techniques of some of these countries that are flooding the American markets? Since we like to regulate our farming to an exsquite degree, why don't we demand the same of our foreign producers? We can't use DDT in the US, but because of NAFTA, people are buying food from DDT using countries. Kids in San Diego died, in the 1990s because they ate e coli infected strawberries from mexico. The berries had e coli because of some very unsanitary farm practices that are allowed there.
Our food is more expensive because our government makes it so. Our food is the highest quality on earth because our farmers make it so.

How about one that identifies DDT-tainted food currently imported into the U.S. And since you mentioned NAFTA, make it one that specifically identifies foodstuffs imported from Canada or Mexico.
