Smithfield Farms, the largest pork producing farm in the USA was sold recently to China
with the unanimous support of its stockholders!! The hogs will still be raised here, but
slaughtered and packaged for sale there before being sent back here. This includes labels of
Morrell, Eckrich, Krakus, Cudahy, Premium Hams, Cook's, Gwaltney, The same with many
chickens. They can now be shipped there, but when they come back all that needs to be
labeled is that they WERE RAISED IN THE USA. Not that they were processed in China!!!
Our great FDA at work again. The chickens will be all processed and most sold to fast food
restaurants for sandwiches, along with schools and supermarkets. The China slaughter and
processing are not nearly equal to the requirements here.
*BAD FOOD:::
We recently learned that Starkist Tuna is now owned by Korea , and is in big conflict
with the U. S. concerning quality, safety, and records, which Korea refuses to produce. Read
several articles on Google about this, and even one that was defending the eating of tilapia
said to avoid the fish that came from China Also,I had just returned home from buying
Albertson's 4-day special of 4 bags of frozen tilapia for the price of one.? Sure enough, on
the top of the bags, it read "farm raised", and on the bottom in small print it said, " China
"read all the way down...
Recently a Food inspector on TV... said he had lived overseas and he had seen the
filthy conditions their foods are raised and processed in. It is enough to make you throw up.
Some foreign workers have to wear masks as they work in these places, because the food is so
rotten and filthy, it makes them want to throw up. Many of their fish on Fish Farms are fed raw
sewage daily. He said he has seen so much filth throughout their food growing and processing
that he would "never" eat any of it. They raise this filth, put some food coloring and some
flavorings on it, then they ship it to the USA & Canada for YOU to consume and feed to YOUR
families. They have no Food & Safety Inspectors. They ship it to you to buy and poison your
families and friends .
Imported food we eat and the junk we buy: Green Giant frozen vegetables are from China,
and so are most of Europe 's Best. Arctic Gardens are Okay. So is Birdseye. Never buy the
grocery store garlic unless it is clearly marked from USA or Canada, the other stuff is grown
in people poop (even worse than chicken droppings). China is the largest producer of garlic in
the world; U. S. is next.
Buy only local honey *, much honey is shipped in huge containers from China and re-packed here.
Cold-FX is grown and packed in China and is full of fecal bacteria. Doesn't work
anyway, big scam. If the country of origin is not clearly marked beware. If produce, ask an
employee.
Watch out for packages which state "prepared for", "packed by" or "imported by". We
don't understand the lack of mandatory labeling, especially the produce.
The country of origin should be clearly shown on the item in the store.
Go to the local farmers' markets in season and keep a wary eye open the rest of the
year.
Please read this very carefully, and read to the very bottom. It's important for all of
us.
How is it possible to ship food from China cheaper than having it produced in the U. S.
or Canada?
FOR EXAMPLE THE "OUR FAMILY" BRAND OF MANDARIN ORANGES SAYS
RIGHT ON THE CAN 'FROM CHINA '. SO, FOR A FEW MORE CENTS, BUY THE
LIBERTY BRAND. GOLD BRAND OR THE DOLE IS FROM CALIFORNIA.
Beware, Costco sells canned peaches and pears in a plastic jar that come from China.
ALL "HIGH LINER" AND MOST OTHER FROZEN FISH PRODUCTS COME
FROM CHINA OR INDONESIA . THE PACKAGE MAY SAY "PACIFIC SALMON"
ON THE FRONT, BUT LOOK FOR THE SMALL PRINT. MOST OF THESE
PRODUCTS COME FROM FISH FARMS IN THE ORIENT WHERE THERE ARE NO REGULATIONS ON WHAT IS FED TO
THESE FISH. Recently The Montreal Gazette had
an article by the Canadian Government on how Chinese feed the fish: They suspend chicken wire
crates over the fish ponds, and the fish feed on chicken droppings.
If you search the internet about what the Chinese feed their fish, you'll be alarmed;
e. g, growth hormones, expired anti-biotic from humans.? Never buy any type of fish or
shellfish that comes from these countries: Vietnam, China, Philippines.
Check this out personally. Steinfeld's Pickles are made in India - just as bad! Another
example is in canned mushrooms. No-Name brand came from Indonesia . Also, check those
little fruit cups. They used to be made in Canada in the Niagara region until about 2 years
ago. They are now packaged in China. Most sold in Aldi stores.
While the Chinese export inferior and even toxic products, dangerous toys, and goods to
be sold in North American markets, the media wrings its hands! Yet, 70% of North Americans
believe that the trading privileges afforded to the Chinese should be suspended.
Well, duh! Why do you need the government to suspend trading privileges?
SIMPLY DO IT YOURSELF, CANADA AND THE U. S.
Simply look on the bottom of every product you buy, and if it says 'Made in China ' or
'PRC' (and that now includes Hong Kong ), simply choose another product, or none at all. You
will be amazed at how dependent you are on Chinese products, and you will be equally amazed
at what you can do without.
THINK ABOUT THIS:
If 200 million North Americans refuse to buy just $20 each of Chinese goods, that's a
billion dollar trade imbalance resolved in our favor...fast! The downside? Some Canadian/
American businesses will feel a temporary pinch from having foreign stockpiles of inventory.
Just one month of trading losses will hit the Chinese for 8% of their North American exports.
Then they will at least have to ask themselves if the benefits of their arrogance and
lawlessness are worth it.
START NOW and don't stop, and tell your friends.
Send this to everybody you know. Let's show them that we are intelligent, and NOBODY
can take us for granted. Start reading labels more closely and buy something else even if it
costs a few cents more.*
