   that gives me an uneasy feeling. who’s monitoring the foodstuffs? i mean, these aren’t fresh vegetables so they’re not bound to the same rigors that our own produce is (though even that’s iffy).

   i can’t help but think that the product quality will go down

   This is yet another reason why we should buy local.

   I quit buying Nalley pickles and started looking at the back of about every jar when I saw on the label: Product of India. This was a few months ago. I do be believe the front of the jar said, “from the Northwest”.
   Sure.

   Not that I have a huge problem with people from India… or all their products. But, I draw the line at pickles.. I mean, Jesus… last I looked we could still grow cucumbers and all the various pickling agents here in the USA for Christ’s sake!

   I do my own pickling–yes, I’m bragging–and I have friends (Hi Molly!) and family (Hi Mom!) who pickle, so I haven’t purchased any industrial pickles in years.

   I’m still a label reader, though. Anymore, I’ve been looking for high fructose corn syrup. If it’s in the item, I put it back on the shelf.
