I said you couldn't buy "a" coke, not buy coke, why else is Dennis there!
Quoted from toddsolus:I don't think this is true...since single neurons(cells) can stretch the length of the spine.
Google it.
Quoted from Apinjunkie:74% of all statistics are incorrect. For whatever that's worth.
Good as any other opinion here.
Quoted from DanQverymuch:Or you could try, I dunno, Googling it?
Came off google under "did you know" and then I chose fun or interesting facts and it among others come up.
Quoted from phil-lee:Smithfield Meats (formerly from NC and purchased by China)
That will effectively end my purchases of their bacon.
I absolutely go out of my way to buy American products. Almost in every instance that position is a two edged sword.
Quoted from zombywoof:Smithfield was founded in Smithfield, Virginia,
That is why I bought it. The package still says it's produced in Smithfield, Virginia and had no idea.
I just try to spend local as much as possible but it's ludicrous to think you won't have to buy foreign products, simply can't be done.
Quoted from Oaken:Is bacon produced at an American factory from American hogs fed American feedstock foreign if it is owned by a foreign company though?
(If yes, then I have some bad news about your beef)
I said as much in my post, I'm aware you can't avoid buying outside. I just try to keep as much of my money here when feasible. I'm fortunate enough to still be close to large swaths of farmland so I could buy meat easily enough and have in the past. Takes a lot of freezer space though for slaughtered pork and beef, if you don't split with someone. I buy local vegetables, eggs, milk etc. when it's available.
American made does not mean produced and assembled in the USA 99% of the time, it's assembled here but parts etc., produced by foreign companies. I have no problem with foreign companies or peoples I just like the idea of keeping it close to home when feasible.
