How        AA>> can that be?               RM> Where does it say *manufactured* in USA?               RM> It says manufactured BY an USA company - made in China.        RM> Which means it was produced in China.              Exactly. The industry is playing with words to confuse us and        make us assume that domestic jobs (in this case, USA) are        supported?              One other thing that I just don't understand the grocers are        doing is when they bring in apples from Chile, when there is        plenty of fine domestic Canadian apple brands. I mean.. why        bother? ..especially when the prices are the same.       --        ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.50        * Origin: Mobile?
