All the food and items I bought today were made in the USA or Mexico:
Edited on Fri May-18-07 05:18 PM by HypnoToad
Norelco 8150XL shaver
Ragu pasta goo
Noprac Broccoli
Norpac green beans
Tyson chicken (no made-in label but it was FDA approved)
Birds Eye oriental veggie mix
Denice & Filice red onions
EAS protein powder
GNC B12 tablets
GNC mega-man vitamin supplement
Hidden Halley Ranch mix (dehydrated)

The bulk pack tilipea fish were made in China. :( No more fish for a while. I should have nothing to fear, as small quantities of crud won't hurt people, but still. I prefer food to be home-grown. Or at least lands where Cortez and Columbus roamed. :rofl:

1. Tyson Chicken?!
I won't give you the PETA link, but this is pretty bad in and of itself...

Although "Tortured By Tyson" from PETA is pretty damn informative as well...

2. And the way they treat their workers is appalling,
but since those workers aren't citizens--or here legally, Tyson's doesn't care.

Even if I ate meat, I'd go hungry before buying anything from Tyson.

Thanks, both of you, for that input. And double-thanks, Bi_Baby, for the URL! :pals: :yourock:

Like the idiot boxer, the food brand of the same name is no more.
