Why is it somewhat difficult to determine where food is made?

Info should be readily available on all packages but it isn’t.
Big Food isn’t always your friend.

That's why I only eat Keebler cookies, because you know they all come from that tree.

Everything is going to kill you. The sooner you accept this, the happier you'll be.

Since my son has to be on a special diet due to a chronic illness, I can speak on this disturbing subject. Most of the American diet is complete shite. Anything in a box is shite. Most of what we eat is poison. Even fruits and vegetables have been modified to the point where they have lost most of their nutritional value. I'm not just talking about stuff that is making people fat, I'm talking about general welfare. Most food that is available is so filled with poisons that it is making us sick and making our bodies unable to fight off illnesses.

Come from the tree, not on the tree.

Multiple reasons.
Many ag exporters are third world shitholes who simply don't have the resources to label where every banana that falls off a tree comes from.
Others must combine harvests from multiple areas to get a large enough volume to warrant export. Keeping each area's crop separate and labeled would be a huge financial burden for no actual gain. Truck drivers don't care what specific coffee plantation their beans came from, just that it's bitter, black, and packs a punch. Just like their favorite boxers.
Oftentimes the companies who receive these products to process will mix cheaper and more premium versions of the same commodity (who have come from different places) in order to make a more uniform final product. That way they can charge you the same price and increase their margins.

If it isn't non gmo, gluten free, organic, and locally sourced by my local farmer being picked/killed by messicans I won't eat it.

I'm very allergic to a skin mite that Mexicans and Yankees carry so I make sure I eat locally. I heard about it on Alex jones

Who are you the TD thread police?
And why do you care? I don’t care about you.

This. I try to get my food from places that used slave labor and mistreated the animals, it's hard to know I'm getting the good stuff.

Just tell us which fattening foods you’re eating and we’ll tell you.
Posted on 1/3/18 at 7:06 pm to weagle99
Pretty much anything you get packaged at the store is shite. It’s almost time to start growing and raising our own food again

Can you provide an example of a food product where you can't tell where it's from?

For a long time Kellogg’s Corn Flakes had no information. Then they finally started putting ‘Product of Mexico’.
Most products you see only say ‘Distributed by’

Your food is fine. I’ve been in agriculture for 20 years and seen it all in this business.
