ever notice how many 'food stuffs' are labeled 'distributed by' rather than produced by

the who and where of your food shifts on a daily basis depending on the current price - with little if any guarantee of its safety or quality
 
Now we would not want to interfere with supply and demand by actually informing consumers of what they are buying would we ?

well....maybe give us a foot up on getting an antidote

i would say that they may have a care as not to destroy their market place but the planet is over populated as it is, so why bother

besides, the longer it takes some one to figure out where the poison came from the easier it will be to hide the paperwork
 
Yeah. That's pretty scary. I was in the shower this morning trying to figure out where my body wash was made because it was so cheap.

I'm sure its the next item to get poisoned by the Chinese. Better start rendering fat and making your own soap.
 
Now that the whole "organic food" thing is beginning to lose it's currency -- thankfully so: it was always pretty darned silly -- the more thoughtful people concerned with quality of food are turning to more achievable goals. And more reasonable slogans, too.

"Locally grown" is the new "organic" and it makes much more sense.

Worry about cancer or that Jelly donut you're eating. The likelihood that you'll die because you're food came from China is so small it's not even worth considering. Stop being so melodramatic.

Good thing poor people can afford to pay several times the price for food that's no higher quality, eh? Keep your change. I refuse to subsidise Mississippi into another century of futile agriculture.
 
I just don't buy processed food, never have, except for the occasional frozen pizza (Freshetta 4-cheese is yummy!). Meat and chicken come from a local butcher, the origin of fish at the supermarket is identified, and all fruits and veggies are similarly identified by state and nation. The bread is baked in-store (but I don't know where the ingredients were produced) and my granola comes from Tennessee. The brands of dog food we buy were not among those at risk in the melamine-for-gluten fiasco, thankfully.

I am concerned about where ingredients come from, and I applaud the recent proposal to require origins of ingredients on all labels.
 
Not much of anything in Mississippi.

Honestly the only remotely cool thing about his state is that they have decriminalized marijuana to an extent.
