RW> The jello and fruit cups in our Walmart are 'Hecho en Mexico'...   
      
   Interesting..  Our Walmart brand fruit cups all are from China.   
      
   RW> Especially when local fruit is picked and packed by Mexican immigrants.

   Exactly!     
      
   The local farms around here typically hire fleets of Mexicans (probably a mix   
   of legals and illegals) to pick/package the crops.     
      
   Even though China has children doing the work at slave wages, it is still   
   apparently less expensive.
