Are you fucking kidding me? Again? And we still buy people food from this third world shit hole. That is one that I will never understand, why Goddamn America has to buy food and steel from China.
RE: Pet jerky treat death toll: 360 dogs, 1 cat, FDA says - Twitchin Kitten - 09-15-2012
That's because we're busy exporting all our food. We should go back to selling here.
Remember the bullshit reports of Mad Cow in our western states beef? Japan boycotted all our beef because of that. Japan can grow their own beef. The beef that was tainted was an IMPORT from Canada.
Everyone gets it wrong.
Why didn't that article list all the treats affected? I'm going to go with ALL brands from EVERY manufacturer.
What's more disturbing is that our food is nuked before get it. I'm too old to start farming again. This sucks - we can't even get local produce anymore here in "the Garden State" in the large markets. Many of the "fresh stands" are importing as well.
Everything is upside down.

I'm guessing you and Matt need to take a jaunt over to the Black Horse Pike on that stretch of road just a couple miles above the AC Racetrack. Those stands are still selling locally grown produce.
What pisses me off is that the fucking USDA is getting even more restrictive with US producers but the imported shit pretty much comes through with MINIMAL inspection. And pet products it seems just breeze on in without so much as a "What's this shit?" being asked.

Fucking China ads an extra coat of lead to everything that leaves the country.
I don't understand why we import apples from them.

Yeah......it's not like we don't have shitloads of orchards all over the place.
That would be like importing fucking grapes for making wine in your area. There's a friggin' vineyard every 500 feet along US 20 (well it seems that way at least) from Buffalo to Harbor Creek, PA.

Ever been through the finger lakes. vineyards and wineries all over the place.
I think we import wheat too, why the hell is that?
Oh, I know, it must be because we grow so much corn that we don't eat, there must not be enough room wheat.
