Yes.
Why the hell are we buying food from China?
I don’t understand why we are buying this crap from China either. This food safety thinkg is new to me, but now it has gotten my attention. I buying all this junk from China a liberal or a conservative platform? (Pardon me if it is a stupid question) We are quite capable of growing most of the things we import from China right here in the USA.
FGS we are importing chinese crawfish to LOUISIANA and it is less expensive to buy!!! Ridiculous!!!
Cuz the government is trying to see how many farmers they can put out of business. My mom’s got a farm in N. Dakota and she said the price for a bushel of wheat isn’t much more than it was 50 years ago. Checked the price of cereal lately? I’d like to know who’s getting rich, because it’s not the farmer. If she’s lucky she gets enough to pay property tax and hopefully a little profit, but not much.
We import over $200 billion in foodstuffs from China, annually....absolutely nuts!
“free trade” is why. It’s clearly stated in all our “free trade” agreements that to block food imports from countries with lower food safety standards than ours is a “barrier to trade”. So its not allowed, in the minds of our sold out corrupt policiticians. It might affect their investments, Sen. Feinstein, in countries like China, if they put America first.
