Think Chiquita was in trouble for funding terrorists because they paid them so they would harm their fields, employees and factories.

All produce (all food?) has to be labeled with country of origin. I prefer domestic, but we do get a bunch from S America and apples from NZ.

Article in the paper about how parents in China no longer trust the baby formula there, so they try to get it abroad, and that is causing shortages abroad and leading to restrictions on imports. That could easily be us if the Koch brothers have their way.

I do. I've had more trouble with domestic produce than imported. If I could get everything imported, I would.

Isn't it legally supposed to be disclosed if it's imported? Personally, I am comfortable with bananas since they're all imported and they get peeled.

Never did trust it, even if it has the organic seal. I know that our legal compliance isn't always perfect, but I don't know of any other country with comparable or better standards/enforcement. Do you?
