See Anything Wrong With This Picture? Having just bashed Lou Dobbs for his frothy-mouthed zealotry of late, I do have to say Anna Bloviations was a bit taken aback by our discovery made of this frozen organic "vegetable medley" package from Trader Joe's. Looking for cooking instructions on the back, we found none. We put on glasses and still found no cooking instructions (obviously we missed the email on how many minutes to cook a vegetable medley). But what we did find in small black print at the bottom of the package was this: PRODUCT OF CHINA
Now it is my sincerest hope that the product being referred to is the bag and not the vegetables given that it makes absolutely no sense that broccoli florets should have to travel 7000 miles to get to my supermarket. Actually, I take that back. Given all the sub-standard, down-right dangerous products coming out of China these days, I have a problem with anything being a product of China i.e. 'Here are your organic veggies kiddies! Never mind that they are laced with rat poison and lead that rubbed off from the package lining.... ' One more reason to buy local produce my friends. Happy Lou?
