Smithfield Farms
Maybe some of you are
aware of these goings on, but you still
need to take the time to
read this.
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
Morrell, Eckrich, Krakus, Cudahy, Premium Hams, Cook's, Gwaltney.
The same is true with
chickens under these labels. They can now be
shipped there, but when
they come back all that needs to be on the
label is that they...
WERE RAISED IN THE USA.
Not that they were
processed in China.
Our great FDA at
work.
The chickens under these
labels will all be processed and most sold to fast
food restaurants,
schools and supermarkets. The China slaughter and processing requirements
are, for the most part, unregulated and far inferior to requirements of the
U.S.A.
We recently learned that
Starkist Tuna is now owned by Korea and is in conflict with the U. S.
concerning quality, safety, and records keeping, which Korea refuses to
produce.
I read several articles
on Google about this, and even one that was defending the eating of tilapia
fish 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”.
Recently, on TV, a Food
inspector 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 is junk!
Green Giant frozen
vegetables are from China (Mexico too), and so are most of Europe's Best.
Arctic Gardens are Okay. So is Birdseye.
Never buy the grocery
store garlic unless it is clearly marked from USA or Canada, the other stuff is
grown in people's... dung (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 packaged here.
Cold-FX is grown and
packed in China and is full of fecal bacteria. Doesn't work anyway; it is a big
scam.
If the country of origin
on a product is not clearly marked "beware." If the product is
produce, ask an employee.
Watch out for packages
which state "prepared for," "packed by" or "imported
by" or "distributed by." We advocate 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 for your produce 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.
The above facts indicate
how is it possible to ship food from China cheaper than having it produced in
the U. S. or Canada.
PLEASE NOTE--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 ARE
FROM CALIFORNIA.
Beware, Costco sells
canned peaches and pears in a plastic jar that come from China. Lots of
the jar items at Dollar Tree are from India!
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 dung.
If you search the
Internet about what the Chinese feed their fish, you'll be alarmed; e. g,
growth hormones, expired anti-biotic from humans. Never buy any type of fish or
shellfish that comes from these countries: Vietnam, China, Philippines.
Check this out
personally. Steinfeld's Pickles are produced in India - just as bad!
Another example is
canned mushrooms. No-Name brand comes 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.
Why do we need the
government to suspend trading privileges?
THIS IS A YOURSELF
PROJECT.
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.
Share with your
friends. Start reading labels more closely and buy something else even if
it cost a few cents more
