Smart American producers who continue to label their products as being American in origin will continue to get my business.


Too bad this legislation will forbid labeling the country of origin. There will be no label on any meat identifying the origin. It’s what the big meat packers wanted.

It doesn’t forbid a company from labeling their products as American sourced. It says they don’t have to.

So now a producer cannot even label his own product. Anyone here still want to argue that we live in a free society? Anyone? Bueller?

Then perhaps they could subtly identify where it is not from. </s

The Chinese, who now own the largest pork producer in the world, especially want this. They can sell their unfattened hogs in America now.

The big problem will be the fish. Much of it comes from China and Vietnam where it’s farm raised and the locals shit in the stream.

Our fishing industries are effectively killed by our central socialist government.
