Where does your food come from what countries?

[ohsheeT]

I have noticed with fruit vegetables , box goods , meats , milk that everything. Is coming in from different countries this is inspired by @kelly1 and the federal reserve
If our government gets their way and we have to use their banking system , the government's banking system , we have no guarantee that we can get our money out
We are getting food from different countries. Because our government has either bought out the farmers or meat so they cannot make any money on what they were selling. So
Does this mean if we have to put our money in the u? S government's bank and when they have it all, then they tell other countries that are sending as food that they can't send it to us anymore and then we have no food. So now the government controls our money and no food

The Chinese grocery store we use half the time imports a lot of foods from South America and South East Asia because they are cheaper and more exotic and they monopolize certain food species not found in other parts of the world. We also use WalMart and Costco but they tend to hide their country more by not making it the most noticeable indicator on their product labels so discerning location is harder with them. I don't go out of my way to look up country of origin because I do not care what country it comes from. The main thing is I am suspicious of American products because I know they have a whole legal time hired to hide nutrition facts and trick marketing experts, about how unhealthy their products are.

Canada and Mexico. I saw two ribeye steaks at Walmart and they were $56. I wondered if they came from Dubai or something.

[ohsheeT]

I have the same prices in Reno Nevada but I don't know where it came from.

[strawberryapple]

It sounds like it's coming from japan. Maybe it's that wagyu beef where the cows get massages. 🫣

[ohsheeT]

But still , that's four times the price of a year ago

[strawberryapple]

Imagine paying 56 bucks for two medium sized raw steaks! Makes me wonder how much that would cost in a restaurant.

[ohsheeT]

Depending on the restaurant you don't even want to buy a steak in the restaurant.

The higher end restaurants are taking\nHamburger and just junk meat , mixing it with some kind of chemical pressing it together , taking fat from other steaks , putting little the fat veins in to make it look real. They add flavoring and color to it , press it , cook it and you can't even tell that it's not a real estate and they're charging an arm and a leg for it

The only place I'm eating is that my house at least. I know the food is real. It's cooked, right? And it's cheaper but it's real in the food department, we have become so smart that we can genetically build anything nothing at McDonald's is real anymore. Except for the French fries, but their French fries after they are picked, even the farmers won't go outside because of all of the pesticides that are on these potatoes, they put them in a big warehouse and let them sit for 5 days and the farmers don't even go outside because of all the chemical smell. And the people who go to mcdonald's all the time are eating fake hamburger and they're eating all this pesticides from the french fries that they make , it takes a certain type of potato that's longer than most potatoes , it's been gen. Etically built, so they get the length that they're looking for but they soak the potatoes with pesticides even at home. When you eat potatoes, don't eat the skins anymore.\nIn poison so bad in everything

I hope RFK Jr can make things better.

[ohsheeT]

Of course he will.. the sad part is, every Congressman, every senator in my state, in other states aren't doing a d*** thing to help their districts, their people become the best that they can become. But they allow all this garbage to happen to them. And they get paid for it

And out of five hundred and seventy something federal elected officials , he's the only one that stands up not to be great but to do what's right to do his job , and everybody should learn from him. But that will never happen

[strawberryapple]

And for some reason the Democrats hate him

[strawberryapple]

Thanks for the MHO

[slatyb]

How big were they? Here in expensive Seattle at the local QFC (Kroger) ribeyes are $20/pound -- USDA choice. Sometimes they are BOGO and we buy four and freeze three.

The high-end steak restaurants serve USDA Prime beef, which is maybe 50% more expensive.

[strawberryapple]

Medium size

[slatyb]

By weight?

[strawberryapple]

I wasn't shopping for steak I just caught the price out of the corner of my eye. I also noticed that cow tongue was $15 a pound even though I wasn't shopping for cow tongues.

[ohsheeT]

I have had cows tongue once it was by accident I was working up by my aunt's house so for lunch. I went by there.\n And she told me to make a sandwich, I thought it was Roast Beef, so I made a sandwich. I ate it. Tasted a little bit different, but I was starving.\nAnd that's right , she told me what it was.. i told her I wanted to throw up, but now that I think about it.\nOur foods have lost all their vitamin that has grown in the ground because the dirt , the soil is bad there's no more nutrients in it one of the best foods that you can put into your body is cow, heart, cow, cow, tongue, chicken, heart, chicken, liver. It all sounds gross to me but I also like being healthy and I'm sure I could mix it in food. To make it.\nNot taste the way it would , and it would be the best food that you can put in your body nowadays

[strawberryapple]

I too ate cow tongue by mistake.
A guy I worked with tricked me. He wanted half of my sandwich 🥪 and he gave me half of his. Tasted like a rubber tire.

So are you finally going to tell me how to get water out of air?

Let's just get rid of the Federal Reserve so we can start growing bananas in North Dakota. Let's get rid of the Federal Reserve so the northern and southern hemispheres are the same climate and we will no longer be able to get winter crops in the summer and summer crops in the winter.

I supposed the Federal Reserve is also responsible for chocolate appearing in Europe in the early 1500s. I have no doubt that the Europeans anticipated the future Federal Reserve 400 years before it happened.

[CuriousMufuxka]

Where the fuck are you shopping? I read nonsense like this and almost hope for legal deportation.

[ohsheeT]

Don't let the screen door hit you on the a**On the way out

[CuriousMufuxka]

Holy shit you are fucking stupid.

[ohsheeT]

But honest

[CuriousMufuxka]

Nah you're full of shit as well.

[ohsheeT]

No I usually take care of that in the mornings

[DryGermanGuy]

Apart from exotic fruits/spices, it comes from Germany or our neighboring countries.

[Unycorn]

Germany

Italy

Netherlands

France

Poland

Belgium


I try to avoid Spain. I don't trust the quality.

[msc545]

I think most of my food comes from either California or Mexico.

[slatyb]

Almost all from the US, Mexico, or Latin America. A lot of winter fruit comes from Chile. The only decent tomatoes in the US come from Mexico.

[NathanDavis]

mostly, from Mexico

[exitseven]

Everthing but bannanas comes from the USA

[ohsheeT]

Well your lucky. Because what I'm finding is I don't care what kind of food it is, it's coming from a different country, and I don't understand that, except for what I said. If our foods are all coming from different countries and the government has bought out the farmers, then 1 day they can just pull the plug on all food products coming into our country. And then we have no more food

[exitseven]

I look at labels and hope they are not fake.

[ohsheeT]

Nowadays, the might as well be. I got some Campbell soup the other day and it is so filled with chemicals and flavorings. It's not even the same soup
