He appears to not give a rip about this Country. Foreigners he likes....
Nobody is going to buy Chinese frozen chicken in any big amount anyway.
They can't raise chickens much cheaper, if at all, than we do anyway.
Or, what percent of the US domestic market for apple juice concentrate is supplied from China?
"agreement to drop a mad cow disease-related ban on imports of U.S. beef (to China"
Okay, now I get it. Bush sold out American chicken farmers so he could help his Texas beef-producing friends sell beef in China.
The article says it isn't chicken from china.
"Do you have any idea as to how much processed food is imported from China?"
No, but I'm listening. Tell us more.

The real Bush has been kidnapped and the imposter has taken over.....
Nope.
| We are now one of the largest Spanish-speaking nations in the world. We're a major source of Latin music, journalism and culture. Just go to Miami, or San Antonio, Los Angeles, Chicago or West New York, New Jersey ... and close your eyes and listen. You could just as easily be in Santo Domingo or Santiago, or San Miguel de Allende. For years our nation has debated this change -- some have praised it and others have resented it. By nominating me, my party has made a choice to welcome the new America. As I speak, we are celebrating the success of democracy in Mexico. George Bush from a campaign speech in Miami, August 2000. |
Here is an excerpt of a good critique of that speech:
In equating our intimate historic bonds to our mother country and to Canada with our ties to Mexico, W. shows a staggering ignorance of the civilizational facts of life. The reason we are so close to Britain and Canada is that we share with them a common historical culture, language, literature, and legal system, as well as similar standards of behavior, expectations of public officials, and so on. My Bush Epiphany By Lawrence Auster
What ever you do, don't buy those tall jars of asparagus from china.
They may look pretty but you'll have throw away 3/4 of the stalk.
"It would be fully cooked and packaged or canned in China"
Don't worry be happy. After all, why shouldn't 'processed poultry' get the same benefits as Mexican illegals ....I mean Mexican workers?
Are a lot of the processed foods sold at Wal-Mart and places like that from China?
As a matter of safety, I never buy foodstuffs from foreign countries. That includes produce or beer from Mexico or South America and seafood from Thailand. In many countries, food inspectors can be bribed, the water used during processing may be tainted, and sanitary conditions are just not on a par with ours. This has been my practice for at least 15 years or so. And now, with terrorists everywhere, how difficult would it be for someone to taint an entire shipment before it is shipped off to the USA? Chinese chicken? Never in this household!
As mexican workers become short in supply, you will see more and more imported food.
See my #17.
