Try only if you like it. I believe very much in international free trade - show me what you got, let's make a deal and I'll buy it. Vice versa. It's not good for the U.S. economy to buy American products strictly. Look at Greece? When I was in Greece some years ago, everything in their store was all Greek products, at least where I'd shopped. The country of gods and goddesses is bankrupt. Fortunately, I'm not into fresh fruits and veggies but into canned fruits, corned beef from Argentina and Spam.

I have doing that now specially since my daughter is home. She's an organic food buyer & refuses to buy foods from Chile or China. But do you know we couldn't find oranges from Cali or Florida? What up with our own produce? Winter is upon us & for us who live in the Midwest, we depend on warmer climate States for our produce. What are we to do if most food comes from Chile? Josie
A MUST READ TO FIND A JOB EH
The following was forwarded to me and now I pass it along to you to read. Your decision to make - I've made mine.
OCTOBER 1st to DECEMBER 31st
Well over 50 years ago I knew a lady who would not buy Christmas gifts if they were made in China . Her daughter will recognize her in the following.
Did you see Diane Sawyer's special report? They removed ALL items from a typical, middle class family's home that were not made in the USA or CANADA .
There was hardly anything left besides the kitchen sink. Literally. During the special they showed truckloads of items - USA and CANADIAN made - being brought in to replace everything and talked about how to find these items and the difference in price, etc.
It was interesting that Diane said if every American OR CANADIAN spent just $64 more than normal on USA OR CANADIAN made items this year, it would create something like 200,000 new jobs!
I WAS BUYING FOOD THE OTHER DAY AT WALMART and ON THE LABEL OF SOME PRODUCTS IT SAID "FROM CHINA ."
FOR EXAMPLE THE "OUR FAMILY" BRAND OF THE MANDARIN ORANGES SAYS RIGHT ON THE CAN "FROM CHINA >"
I WAS SHOCKED, SO FOR A FEW MORE CENTS I BOUGHT THE LIBERTY GOLD BRAND OR THE DOLE SINCE IT'S FROM CALIFORNIA .
Are we Americans and Canadians as dumb as we appear --- or --- is it that we just do not think. The Chinese, knowingly and intentionally, export inferior and even toxic products and dangerous toys and goods to be sold in American and Canadians markets.
70% of Americans and Canadians believe that the trading privileges afforded to the Chinese should be suspended.
Why do you need the government to suspend trading privileges? DO IT YOURSELF, AMERICA and CANADA !!
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.
Who needs plastic eggs to celebrate Easter? If you must have eggs, use real ones and benefit some Canadian or American farmer. Easter is just an example. The point is, do not wait for the government to act. Just go ahead and assume control on your own.
THINK ABOUT THIS: If 200 million Americans and Canadians each refuse to buy just $20 of Chinese goods, that's a billion dollar trade imbalance resolved in our favor...fast!!
Remember, OCTOBER 1st TO DECEMBER 31ST!!!!!! START NOW.
Send this to everybody you know. Let's show them that we are Americans and Canadians and NOBODY can take us for granted.
If we can't live without cheap Chinese goods for THREE months out of our lives, WE DESERVE WHAT WE GET!
Pass it on, America and CANADA ....
Well, instead of doing it for just 3 months, why not try to do it all the time.
