First in best dressed..
My hubby and I often go fishing, and yesterday reminded me of something as we were sitting in the sun ,feeling the warmth on our bodies ,listening to the silence, watching the waves lapping on the shoreline and not a care in the world.
After a few hours the sun was going down so we walked over to cleaning trough and scaled and cleaned our catch..dropping the heads and frames back into the water..
Holy catfish, It was like aircraft landing all around us , a scurry of beaks,feet and feathers ,squarking and scrapping...and the thought?...
I wouldn't be a moderator on this site for quids...or should that be squids?...! LOLOL
The best feed of fish that I haven't caught myself was on a trip to NewZealand whilst travelling ...A nice big colourful Mauri guy recommended it to me..
It was "HOKI" , I took it back to the motorhome , crumbed it and cooked it..It barely had room to move in the pan it was so big...
It was the most exquisite piece of fish I have ever had ,large white flakes that melted in my mouth..and even though I have tried Hoki in every fish and chip shop within cooey I have never come close to that experience...
I probably never will.
BAD FOOD.... This is sickening - and dangerous!!!This was shown on ??60 Minutes?? a few weeks ago. Disgusting !'Starkist' Tuna is now owned by Korea, and is in big conflict with the U.S. concerning quality, safety, and records - which Korea refuses to provide.
There have been several articles on Google about this, and even one that was defending the eating of tilapia said to avoid the fish that came from China. Also, I had just returned home from buying Albertson's 4-day special of 4 bags of frozen tilapia for the price of one. Sure enough, on the top of the bags, it read "farm raised", and on the bottom in small print it said, "China ".
Recently, a Food inspector on TV, said he had lived overseas and he had seen the filthy conditions their foods are raised and processed in. It is enough to make you violently ill. Some foreign workers have to wear masks as they work in these places, because the food is so rotten and filthy, it makes them want to throw up. Many of their fish on Fish Farms are fed RAW SEWAGE daily. He said he has seen so much filth throughout their food growing and processing that he would "never" eat any of it. They raise this filth, put some food colouring and some flavourings on it, then they ship it to the USA Canada & Australia for YOU to consume and feed to YOUR families. They have no Food & Safety Inspectors. They ship it to you to buy and poison your families and friends... they don't care!
Imported food we eat and the junk we buy:-Green Giant frozen vegetables are from China, and so are most of Europe's Best.Arctic Gardens are Okay. So is Birdseye - (but check the label). Most frozen vegetables from New Zealand are actually produced in China.
Never buy the grocery store garlic unless it is clearly marked from USA, Canada, or Australia; the other stuff is grown in people poop (even worse than chicken poop).China is the largest producer of garlic in the world, U.S. is next.
Buy only local honey - much honey is shipped in huge containers from China and re-packed here.
Cold-FX is grown and packed in China and is full of fecal bacteria. Doesn't work anyway, big scam.If the country of origin is not clearly marked, beware.If produce, ask an employee... but they probably can't tell you.
Watch out for packages which state "prepared for", "packed by", or "imported by". I don't understand the lack of mandatory labelling, especially the produce.
The country of origin should be clearly shown on the item in the store. I go to the local farmers' markets in season and keep a wary eye open the rest of the year.
Please read this very carefully, and read to the very bottom. It's important for all of us.
How is it possible to ship food from China cheaper than having it produced in the U.S., Canada, or Australia?
Beware, Costco sells canned peaches and pears in a plastic jar that come from China. Aldi's asparagus is from China too.
ALL "HIGH LINER" AND MOST OTHER FROZEN FISH PRODUCTS COME FROM CHINA OR INDONESIA. THE PACKAGE MAY SAY "PACIFIC SALMON" ON THE FRONT, BUT LOOK FOR THE SMALL PRINT. MOST OF THESE PRODUCTS COME FROM FISH FARMS IN THE ORIENT WHERE THERE ARE NO REGULATIONS ON WHAT IS FED TO THESE FISH.
Recently, an article by the Canadian Government told how Chinese feed the fish: They suspend chicken wire crates over the fish ponds, and the fish feed on chicken s--t. If you search the internet about what the Chinese feed their fish, you'll be alarmed; e.g., growth hormones, expired anti-biotics from humans. Never buy any type of fish or shellfish that comes from these countries:- Vietnam, China, or the Philippines.
Check this out personally. I did. Steinfeld's Pickles are made in India - just as bad!
Another example is in canned mushrooms. 'No-Name' brand came from Indonesia.
While the Chinese export inferior and even toxic products, dangerous toys, and goods to be sold in overseas markets, the media wrings its hands!
Yet, 70% of North Americans believe that the trading privileges afforded to the Chinese should be suspended!
Well, duh! Why do you need the government to suspend trading privileges?SIMPLY DO IT YOURSELF, AUSTRALIA, CANADA AND THE U.S.!Simply look on the bottom of every product you buy, and if it says 'Made in China' or 'PRC' (and that now includes Hong Kong), simply choose another product, or none at all. You will be amazed at how dependent you are on Chinese products, and you will be equally amazed at what you can do without.
THINK ABOUT THIS:
If 200 million consumers refuse to buy just $20 each of Chinese goods, that's a billion dollar trade imbalance resolved in our favour... fast! The downside? Some businesses will feel a temporary pinch from having foreign stockpiles of inventory.
Just one month of trading losses will hit the Chinese for 8% of their exports. Then they will at least have to ask themselves if the benefits of their arrogance and lawlessness are worth it.
START NOW - and don't stop.
