Let's stamp all the produce you buy in January with a country of origin sticker so you can boycott that, too.

Hmm, there are other reasons than that for knowing country of origin. Here in Florida (don't know about the other states) country of origin is posted with produce.

Which I like, for several reasons. A)I can walk past the grapes from Chile because they are nowhere near as tasty as the CA ones. B) Some countries, like Mexico, are pretty liberal with pesticides and chemicals that might give one pause about purchasing. Or, at least giving the stuff a thorough washing.

Besides, if someone decides they don't want to eat XXX from country yyy because the women are ugly. So what, that's their business. And privilege. Thankfully, we're not yet the EU.

I guess it's okay to make some generalizations about a country or a region, but none of us have any idea how any produce was raised, whether domestically or abroad. It's a crapshoot no matter what.
