    What really pisses me off is half the stuff we bought in our last shopping trip says “Product of Peru” or “Product of Mexico” on the front, then you flip the blueberries over and it has a US distributed by address on the back. I’m doing my best but they’re making it harder to spot.

      I mean to be fair you never boycotted China so. It almost seems like everyone forgot about that genocide.

        Is that being fair? Just seems more like you’ve loosely associated the context with something else that you think should be valued… equally? more? idk… seems like a tangent to the discussion.

        Not sure where you got that from. I try to buy Canadian where possible and my complaint was that US is trying to hide the fact the products are American. That’s it. I’d like to be informed where I’m getting my stuff from.

        Our cats still get American cat food, our son love fruit and if the option is US or nothing we’ll get him some and find something else for ourselves. Given that China builds most things that’s impossible too. I bought a Nintendo Switch in 2017 and most of that is from China.
