Reply #4: You don't understand what outsourcing is.

[alcuno]

Outsourcing is taking a product (or service) done here in the U.S., moving the job overseas, and importing the product back into the U.S.

My Heinz ketchup was bottled in the U.S. and used in the U.S. All countries throughout the world get the bulk of their food products from in or near their country. I bought Wisconsin cheese the other day and they were practically giving it away. Have you priced French Brie?

In Iraq they produce cooking oil and are not importing Crisco; it would be cost prohibitive. It's not that complicated to bottle, can, or package food items. It's not like manufacturing a shoe or a car; those REQUIRE actual hands on work.
