I try to check everything I buy for source.
Recently, I bought a jar of honey with honeycomb in it at Trader Joe’s. No origin is given so I asked two different employees. I was told if source is not named, it is the U.S. I’m not sure I believe that.

I learned a year or two ago that most of the fresh garlic in the supermarkets comes from China. I haven’t bought it since.

Oh my goodness... I didn't realize that. We might as well start speaking Chinese at the rate this stuff is going... :-)
