Eggs from California and Washington are being sent to China to be washed and packaged and sent back to the us to be sold. Insane.

No kidding.  Now that's something I didn't know.  Thank G_d we live in the sticks and I know lots of people with chickens, so I usually get fresh eggs for free.  Could have our own chickens, but then I'd have to take care of them!

I often wonder  how anybody makes money off of shipping fruit from Chile to the USA but then we have plowed most of the orchids under for single family homes and labor costs have gone sky high so we now companies take the growing off shore to find cheap workers. Many years ago when my father was in the hospital with terminal brain cancer his room mate's family were catfish farmers from the South and millionaires but were already having trouble with imports of suspect fish products and that was the year before the OPEC oil embargo. Seems like now almost every thing is imported to save us from despoiling our fair land we despoil some place else on the planet.
