“The only good news is that after all of the China food scares, few Americans are going to be willing to buy China raised chickens, FDA inspected or not.”
Count me in those “few.”
I bought a box of frozen tilapia from ChiCom, and it tasted like moldy dirt. The fish were probably raised in sewage water and cleaned in outhouse detritus. Blah! I now read the packaging on everything, and if I see China on the label it goes back on the shelf.
Nope....never never never going to eat anything imported from China.
I’ve called the toll free number on packages while I am in the grocery store to be sure what I am buying did not originate in China.
Don’t completely avoid shrimp. There is a thriving Gulf Coast industry of hard working Americans and it’s the best shrimp in the world.
Ask questions at the restaurant and packages. There is a seal on American Gulf Coast shrimp—”Wild American Shrimp”. Support the fishermen and America!
Chickens are OK, but a tariff on Chinese tires? The problem is the chickens need to unionize.
Lucky you
I can’t find any non-chinese shrimp in CA
Go to the website and check the list of supermarkets and restaurants that carry certified Wild American Shrimp and demand from your grocery manager that they carry it. Let your voice be heard! And enjoy the shrimp!
Melamine is only part of the problem, there are numerous other toxins in the environment over there. I don’t buy any food of either uncertain national origin or from China.
Buy local...
Agreed but I mentioned a few other critters. Any morning here I can pop two or three cotton tails just out of my back door. But you got the point of post I hope.
