FOOD WARNING! Read this and read all of it!

Subject: Be very careful at the supermarket !


Be very careful at the supermarket !
Food for thought...


Smithfield Farms, the largest pork producing farm in the USA was sold in September 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
ï· Morrell
ï· Eckrich
ï· Krakus
ï· Cudahy
ï· Premium Hams
ï· Cook's
ï· 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 to the end.....


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:
ï· Green Giant frozen vegetables are from China,
ï· and so are most of Europe's Best.
ï· Arctic Gardens are OK
so is
ï· 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 poop). 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 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 s..t.


If you search the internet about what the Chinese feed their fish, you'll be alarmed; eg: growth hormones, expired anti- biotic from humans? Never buy any type of fish or shellfish that comes from these countries
ï· Vietnam
ï· China
ï· 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.



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 cost a few cents more*.

Surely the shipping costs alone would make this completely nonviable?

You eat tilapia....fuckin nasty. It's a bottom feeder.

how the fuck is that profitable?

How is it legal?

I appreciate the warning OP but it's not a new issue ... its been going on for decades, but you have sensationalized it beyond credibility ... if what you claim is true, we would all be dead or ill by now

....

I can't believe all the complaining about their tilapia coming from China. It's disgusting no matter where it comes from.

Do you think tilapia is just another fish with a vaguely Hawaiian name, like mahi mahi? It's a freshwater fish from Africa that prefers brackish water. Like most Africans, it's agressive, grows incredibly fast, and spawns at a high rate. With fast growth, it defecates at high volume. At most hatcheries, they swim at close quarters in a thick murk of their own feces.

It was originally brought to the US to provide fish for hospital patients that couldn't tolerate a fish odor. It didn't take long to figure out that corporate food eating Americans don't like their fish to smell or taste like fish.

It also will give you next to no healthy Omega 3's, while delivering a crap load of unhealthy Omega 6's.

Oh, and one escaped tilapia from a hatchery can destroy the entire ecosystem of a lake, effectively killing it in a year. It's already happened in Central America, where a lot of your non-China tilapia comes from.

But hey, it's cheap and tastes like chicken.

They grow fast. You get more fish that are ready to eat faster. I have them and catfish in my ponds. I can make anything taste good. I'm healthy as an ox so I must be doing something right. You go on and eat that Chinese shit. I'll survive an apocalypse.

I appreciate the warning OP but it's not a new issue ... its been going on for decades, but you have sensationalized it beyond credibility ... if what you claim is true, we would all be dead or ill by now


I concur, the food we are being sold has little or no nutritional value, and is crammed with "additives" for whatever reason ... I am not in denial, I was convinced of that, decades ago and I grow my own food from heirloom seeds, and because of FUshima, I've been growing it indoors


it is a conscious choice that each of us make, to read the label or not ... but the only thing that Americans are interested in is how much FAT is in the product ... and some are becoming aware of how much SUGAR is in the product and if they read the label and are satisfied with what's in the product they will continue to buy it without reading the label again, even when the product claims boldly to be "new and improved" with extra "ingredients, assuming that if it was good before... it must be better now ...They BELIEVE that when it says "all natural ingredients" that it is improved by "natural flavorings" and made safe by "preservatives"


and don't kid yourself about "Farmer's Markets" because 99 percent of them are filled with the same product from the same loading and shipping depots that the buyers from your supermarkets are filled with ... only they ARE NOT labeled

an animal, born to a mother that was fed GMOs but is fed "non gmo" feed, is not "Organic" ... the GMOs genetically MODIFIED it and its produce is the result of that change and is infact genetically modified, even if it never eats GMO food ... and if it is " grass fed" what makes you believe that what is now sprayed in the air, is not on the grass they are eating ?

the fact is, the last generation of UN genetically modified humans, were the baby boomers ...it is not just the education system that has progressively dummy ed down, each generation since then ... our environment is saturated with chemicals

how the fuck is that profitable?

How is it legal?

Some Tilapia I have bought has no Flavor, how is that possible.

Selective breeding takes it's toll. You strengthen one trait at the cost of another. It's nothing new. They come from cichlids that are indigenous to Africa. My father used to breed the aquarium pet kind. He would buy the best looking fish and breed it with his best for a better looking fish. Tilapia are bred to grow bigger. They grow faster. They are easy to keep alive.

I like catfish better but I mix it up. Catfish are harder to prepare but not really that much of a problem. The fish are a great way to grow fruits and vegetables in an aquaponics setup. It's work and it does pay off. There's just something about feeding yourself that makes it all worth while.

I have a chest full of seeds. I have charts on what grows best here. I have charts that tell me at what time of the year to start certain things. Hell I even grow my own tobacco.

You learn as you go mostly. You need to understand how things work. I had to buy a supplement for my plants because they were low on iron about a month ago. It did wonders. The internet is full of information to get you started. You may find something that works out by yourself. The first part is understanding the basics.

LOL

Send the pigs to china to killing them snd bringing them back???
Really

I knew potatoes chips potatoes travel from Germany to South Italy to be washed and thrn go back to Germany
