Read the Labels! Especially those that don’t look like they’re in Chinese…

My recipe calls for tilapia. The only tilapia for sale at the local Wal-Mart grocery store comes frozen in a bag, pretty cheap price, farm-raised…wait…does that say “China”???? Noooooooo! What do they think I am? Some kinda Stoopid American? I DO NOT want the frozen fish farm-raised in China!

An article on how clean and healthy that farm in China probably is…

China: Home of 16 of the world’s 20 most polluted cities. More than half the rivers, one-third of the lakes, and 80-90% of the groundwater are polluted. Here’s a photo of a beautiful village called Linfen.

  1. I've got were I'm pretty cagey about where my food comes from. I'm ok with the US, Canada, Australia, most of Western Europe, Japan, and Israel. I avoid China, Mexico, the Philippines, India, Cambodia, Vietnam, etc. I just don't have a comfort level about their hygiene enforcement.
