Yes, but it’s difficult to tell - “distributed by” when it comes to food products isn’t quite so assuring as “Made in U.S.A.” or “Product of U.S.A.” There are new truth in labeling laws but they don’t apply to restaurants or prepared foods.

Well, I do buy pet food, but it’s Iams, which I KNOW is made in the USA. I buy bird seed; same thing.

I buy toothpaste (Arm & Hammer - Oh, Boy! Here it comes for those that hate Mr. Armand Hammer, LOL!) and deodorant and shampoo (Dove; I love it!) and Bonne Bell make up which is manufactured in Ohio. Are toothbrushes made in China? Most likely. *SHRUG* How about floss? I’m a FREAK about my teeth.

I agree that Wal-Mart does sell a lot of JUNK from China, but I don’t need it, and I don’t buy it.

I’m also a Dollar General shopper, but usually for the ethnic foods I can get real cheap; rice, dry beans, roasted red peppers, salsa, etc. Same thing applies.

Ah, America! We live like Kings without the fortunes to worry about, LOL! :)
