Food for Thought

[Oldgrunt]

I can't verify this but it sounds good to me. Going grocery shopping tomorrow so I will try it. If I want Chinese food, I'll go to a Chinese restaurant.





ATTN: WALMART SHOPPERS: MOST OF THEIR GOODS ARE FROM CHINA! ALSO DOLLAR STORES!!!!!




Please read this very careful, and read to the very bottom.
Its important for all of us.


How is it possible to ship food from China cheaper --
than having it produced in Canada or at least the U.S.?


FOR EXAMPLE THE "OUR FAMILY" BRAND OF THE MANDARIN ORANGES
SAYS RIGHT ON THE CAN FROM CHINA .. SO FOR A FEW MORE CENTS
BUY THE LIBERTY GOLD BRAND OR THE DOLE IS FROM CALIFORNIA.

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 AND
THERE ARE NO REGULATIONS ON WHAT IS FED TO THESE FISH..

(recently a Montreal Gazette had an article by the Canadian Gov't how Chinese
feed the fish... they suspend the chicken wire crates over the fish ponds,
and the fish feed on chicken shxxt.
Canadian Government recommended and stressed NOT to buy any type of fish imported
from China. If you search the internet what the chinese feed their fish you'll be alarmed,
eg. growth hormones, expired anti-biotics from humans, and never buy any type of fish
or shellfish that comes from these countries...Vietnam, China, Philipines.)
Check this out personally. I did..
ALSO WATCH FOR PICKLES. A LOT OF THE NO-NAME PICKLES COME FROM INDIA .
BICK'S HAVE RECENTLY CEASED OPERATIONS IN CANADA --
DON'T BUY THEM .



Another example was in canned mushrooms. No-Name brand came from Indonesia.
Next to them were President Choice brand. Produce of Canada!!
The P. C. went into my grocery bag.

Also check those little fruit cups we give our children.
They use to be made here in Canada in the Niagara region until about 2 years ago....
They are now packaged in China!!!!

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 /US!!
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),
simplychoose 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.



Who needs plastic eggs to celebrate Easter? If you must have eggs,
use real ones and benefit some North American farmer.
Easter is just an example; the point is not waiting for the government to act..
Just go ahead and assume control on your own.


Canadian Thermos bottles were made here for many years..
Thermos sold out in the 1990's and now the bottles,
those that keep our food warm or cold are now made in CHINA.
We lost---about 200 jobs!


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 favour...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 were worth it..

START NOW and don’t stop.

Send this to everybody you know. Let's show them that we are intelligent Canadians/Americans, and NOBODY can take us for granted.

If we can't live without cheap Chinese goods for one month out of our lives,
WE DESERVE WHAT WE GET!
Pass it on, North America!! I DID!!

I guess what the OP is talking about is 'food for the thoughtless' now that we know. I for one, will take a closer look at some of the stuff I buy that goes into this old body. I've put up with a lot of chickshXXt most of my life, but I'm not going to put up with this.

Thanks OG!
