Comment on Question

  • I always try to buy food that was grown in the USA. However, canned, frozen and boxed products usually just say "distributed by". Is it fair to assume that these are then grown in another country? Why do our labeling laws not include the food we eat as requiring it's country of origin?

    Grow your own and can, dry and freeze it. It's easy. Then you know exactly where it came from. A 10 by 10 foot garden will grow all two people need if you to intensively manage it and succession plant. Your library will have great books. I'd recommend Square Foot Gardening to start.
