Most frozen fish seems to be from Chinese boats. Their price will go up

Frozen fish? Oh god, my 95 year old mother used to eat that chit. The smell of it was so bad you would gag. šŸ˜„

Do you mean to tell me California can't grow enough garlic? Gilroy holds a Garlic Festival!

The oceans have plenty of tilapia. Why do we need to run it through China? Answer: We don't.

Apple juice? North Carolina produces so many apples that many spoil on the shelves when the season's over!

I'm sure the weak minded wokies will see the end of the world in all this and love it.

I have assiduously avoided. for many years, all foods produced by or processed in China, and I will continue to do so.

Perhaps what many don’t realize is that many - if not the majority - of the packaging components come from China. Items like boxes, bags, plastic jars, bottles, caps and other closures etc.

Worse still, as far as I know, not a single American manufacturer makes the caps and pumps you find on things large such as mustard jugs, sprayers like those used on household cleaning products, caps and pumps used in cosmetic packaging etc. Next time you get a hot dog at a ball game that yellow tub of of mustard with the white pump and probably the label on the tub were likely made in China (even if the actual mustard was made in the USA). I can’t say for sure about every product but I imagine that the packaging for most mass market consumables (think P&G, Unilever, J&J, Post etc) ranging from cereal, aspirin, vitamins, shampoo, engine oil (anything that is sold in a bottle or box) and even a deck of cards or small parts sold at Home Depot and Auto Zone odds are the outer box, packaging (bag or bottle or those plastic sealed thingy that it difficult to open), cap and label is from China, even if the usable portion of the product is not. Even the master case carton may come from China. Even expensive ā€œFrenchā€ skin creams - the box and container is likely sourced from China. This is why China dropped their retaliatory tariff on US made ethene - they need ethene to make plastic things.

I won’t buy any “farm fished” salmon or any other seafood that possibly comes from polluted Chinese farms.

The “line-caught” is more expensive, but worth it IMO.

Was in Lowe’s yesterday and noticed empty shelves for the first time so it seems to be hitting them.

Good.

I have a huge apple tree that produces masses of wonderfully sweet apples each year - I’ve wanted a press for a long time to make juice - this will be a good excuse.

I also grow garlic easily.

Florida raised tilapia is better with no rank fishy flavor, the Chinese ones are strongly fishy/muddy and the filets are very small.

Gulf of America shrimp is the way to go.

I’ve been buying from other sources anyway. I kicked the China habit long ago. I really want to see their economy crater.
