What truly amazes me is all the things we get from China that I would never guess. I went to the local farmers market in a really small town near me a couple days ago to pick up some produce- I grabbed a braid of garlic and was surprised when I got home to see a tag on it that said it was imported from China. It is really getting crazy- I hear some people are boycotting products from China, must be hard.
Bargain shoppers for food items in particular. Truth in food labeling/origin would be sporting. “Distributed by” doesn’t leave US consumers with the confidence that is necessary when they go to the supermarket to buy those things they need to feed their families. And like other products maybe people would rather spend their money on an American company, where those dollars will circulate back into the economy. Gilroy Farms, in California,
produces a lot better tasting garlic. If we don’t support American companies then eventually there will be no choice, absurd as it sounds.
