Hi list, I live in a farm area in British Columbia (Vancouver Island) and one of the dairy farmers who has just left the dairy business, told me just yesterday that most of our carrots and cauliflower is now coming in from China, it comes in big containers and is packaged in Canada so they can put on the label that it is a product of Canada (not grown in Canada but a product of Canada) I don't have any proof of this, I did not see the article he referred to ( a farmers magazine) but I really don't doubt it is true. Our food supply is rapidly disappearing, most food coming from Chili, China etc. We are lucky enough that we can grow most of our own food but if I have to buy veg I buy only labels that say grown in Canada or USA. Our food for our animals (chicken/turkey) is rapidly climbing in price because of the corn prices rising so much. We need to start to pay attention to what is happening with our food or pretty soon other countries will have control of what we eat. Sorry it got long, this my personal soap box thing and I will get off it now. LOL. Margaret ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
