I hate to bust your bubble,but depending on what you eat,you get lots of food from other countries.You might even get most of it except grain and meat.Apples,grapes,lettuce,any kind of ripe fresh food can come from all over the world.Mostly Mexico,and lots from California,but depending on whats ripe and where,it could be lots of places besides the United States.Also the FDA is not what it was,and if we dont keep an eye on them crooks in Washington DC will have meat from other more risky for mad cow countries here too,if they dont now.Thats why food needs country of origin labeling and other safety measures need to be taken or we all might die eating food thats poisoned because some corporation pays off an inspector so they dont have to fix the roof that leaks when it rains on a peanut processing plant.I bet it would make you sick to know just how much sickness and death is caused from food now.Its probably most of it.That cheap food policy has put a lot of farmers out of business with artificial low prices to where its not much of a point nowdays.Farming is a lot different than it was 40 years ago."Cheap food"is not so cheap if you work for minimum wage,or like a slave in another country.You would have a different view if you had to make a living on your 70 tillable acres.Getting all of our food from other countries is not because we wont grow it here,you wont be able to afford it.Its already getting that way.You might afford some old Argentinan beef that is tough and lean.Some old green apples from South America or some place,but the good stuff will get shipped out to rich people in other countries.Unless you can grow it,you wont get it,wont even get a chance at it.Just like everything else,foreigners own more of our food supply chain every day.With the FDA looking the other way,or so underfunded they cant enforce our laws,its a real possibility we could all be in danger of getting sick from our food supply.They might tell you,or maybe not,who knows?I know this much,it depends on how many they think will die from it.If say 10 might die,they might act like they dont know what did it and see if they get away with it.If a million might die,it would be cheaper for them to take bankruptcy and close down.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
