watch "food inc." on youtube
it shows how food is really produced in the u.s.

besides, even if something is "made in the u.s.a.", it doesn´t mean its ingredients are local. same for products. in fact, it´s unlikely you´d be able to live on stuff made in the u.s. only.

besides, "made in" tells you nothing about quality or safety, be it china, the u.s., europe or wherever. (except maybe fukushima...)

 Quoting: Centinel


Well, so do cigarettes. I think that is at least the choice of the consumer to decide to use the product or not.

The main point is that it is labeled. If there was no warning than people would not know it was potentially dangerous. I dont think the government should decide what is and is not dangerous for us, that is a slippery slope that I dont want to go down.

Agreed. I still think it is good to know where the product came from if one so chooses to. Our country needs jobs, not just "good" 100k jobs, but the jobs that manufacturing and production companies provide. When the USA had those jobs we didnt have welfare. We didnt need welfare because there were jobs that were not college degree requiring jobs where one could start at minimum wage and work their way up to a decent salary if they were a good employee.

I just think that our country needs to provide more of these type jobs and get the ever growing government handout population from increasing. It would give them a little self esteem too. Its a win win.

The way they get around the China Bar Codes is use DISTr by

Thus DISTr by one in the USA yields a 0 number.

Bar codes are NOT always from Point of Origin.

Check your products again. Every Made in China thingie I have, has 0 for first number, and Distribution was USA.

I saw recently that if people spent another $10 a month that it would employ millions if the was made in the USA goods.

I try not to buy Chinese shit, most of their products are full of poisons. And Customs doesn't check until people are dieing, drywall, milk, dog food, cosmetics, the list is really long. Their country is so polluted that they mix the toxic shit in during the manufacturing process to export it rather than deal with environmental controls in their country.

What excellent information to pass on--I am copying that to a little piece of paper that I will carry in my purse at all times.

I never try to buy anything made in China, if I can help it.

In fact, I even threw away all my coffee cups that were from there. chuckle

Hope everyone will heed this advice.

What if I don't want to save America? Have we not been greedy glutons getting fat off slave labor. Americans believing they were rich because they could vast amounts of cheap crap. I for one did not partake in this orgy orchastrated by the banksters to sell more debt and more government. America needs to go broke and suffer for only then will the sheep wake up. We are an evil empire and I say we because we let them do it. The beast needs to fail. However, we really need some major sun doom so that the evil ones are rendered blind and powerless for only then will the inhabitants of the earth be free.

No, its all products. You should call that company and find out for us. That would mean that it says made in canada but actually products came from china. This is what we are talking about.

The govt is aware that some of us want to know, they just dont want to tell. This system is supposedly how they track import/exports.

So does that mean your tobacco comes from china and canada makes it into cigarettes??? That is interesting

well that would be a good way
to hide Chinese Tobacco by
writing Made in Canada on
the box even if the bar code
says differently.

The cigs name brand is Seneca
and they are about the cheapest
cigs you can buy around here.

I thought Seneca cigs were
made by Native Indians on
a reservation.
