Correct me if I'm wrong...My understanding is the (voluntary but now mandatory) Country of Origin Bill finally became law sometime in September '08?

...Produce, meat products, chicken, etc...are to be clearly labeled....

...BUT restaurants are exempt

The tomato fiasco traumatized our industry here in Florida....cost millions loss of revenue...

..and from what I understand those very tomato growers had been begging for 'country of origin' for years!...also the ranchers across the country.

That makes me sick---our own govt destroys an American industry to suckup to Mexico.

Did you catch the advert pushing Mexican avocados on us?

NO WAY will I every buy Hass avocados again....unless proven to be US grown.
