I’m also very careful NOT to buy food items from 3rd world hellholes like Mexico, but what about restaurant food? A few restaurants near me list on their menus that they only use American beef and chicken, but what about the veggies (or pork for that matter)?

That is a problem and I find that we're buying more prepared food from our local store's deli's where I do know the ingredients they use, they're the same ones they sell in heir grocery store!

In the not too distant past, numbers of folks in our area became sick from eating at local Mexican restaurants because of fresh ingredients like the onions and probably the cilantro!

There are problems with those items grown in CA as well as they use mostly Mexican or similar help, who use the same "standards that are used in their own countries," i.e. no washing of hands after using toilet (or rather fields, etc.)

Why do you think all restaurants post notices about hand washing in all of their restrooms - IN SPANISH!!!!!

Good questions. Several years ago, I stopped ordering green salads for those very reasons.

A few restaurants near me list on their menus that they only use American beef and chicken...

...and our own government is rewriting the laws to remove the country of origin from labels for beef, chicken, and prod.
