Would you eat chicken processed in China? (soups, Italian, consumers)

It appears the OP from the thread you are commenting on does, however.

To the OP, NO I will NOT eat meats or any foods from China. You CAN make sure things aren't from there when eating. If I hear McDonalds is going to do that, I will never step foot in there, but to be honest, I don't eat there anyway. Glad I like to cook and read.

The apple cider I drink comes from the apple orchard in the town next to where I live. Seeing as how I live in Connecticut, I think I can be pretty confident that my apple cider doesn't come from China (since China isn't the town next to where I live).

of course it is not all from China, all we have to do is check. I pay pretty close attention to the fish I buy, no, not all of it is from China or processed in China either. I just checked the Salmon I have in the freezer, wild, form MN and processed there.

It seems you have a problem believing that we are shipping chicken to China for processing simply because the OP heard it from Dr. Oz.

Numerous cites have proven that it is indeed happening - as many of us knew long ago - and you continue to deny it with visions of live chickens being flown over to China.

Whatever.

How about citing some of those sources then? Not an op-ed, not a blog, not an "article" from a conspiracy website, not a politically-based website, not a lobby group, not photo-shopped PETA or National Enquirer "article." An actual news article from a respectable source. Like Reuter's (and not their "Weird News" stuff), or one of the major networks, or the Washington Post, or the New York Times, or heck - even Fox, as long as it's not a blog or editorial.

Dr. Oz is not a credible source. Therefore, anything and everything he claims or allows others to claim in his name, is suspect. Even if it's true. Even if I was at the studio and watched something live with my own eyes - if it's being presented by Dr. Oz, I will *suspect* my eye-sight. I won't immediately believe it.

Just another reason to skip processed junk.

There are no hygiene rules in China, nor quality control.

If you insist on living on products that come ready made, you're ingesting all sorts of crap.

Eat fresh! Support your local farmer by buying free range chickens, yes they are more expensive but they don't carry cancer causing agents and we all eat too much meat anyway.

Clean eating - I've been doing it for decades, long before it became a "thing" - I'm at the point I can taste added chemicals and fat.

Ugh.

For all the people saying they'd not buy any food processed from China, they really need to check where things like their garlic is coming from. If you aren't paying premium for something like garlic you have a very high chance of consuming garlic that is from China. Think of all the nice flavor heavy metals in soil from pollution add to many of your produces from China.

many are also saying they would not buy any FOOD at all from China, not just food processed there.

No nothing, we should all be buying local no matter what it is.

Support your local farmers.

Eat fresh.

Oh and be careful of seafood, down here in Australia we get something called "basa" which is a basic white fish, most folks don't know it's carp straight out of the Mekong Delta. I would NEVER eat it.

I went to China on a cruise. You could tell you were getting near land because of the RUBBISH in the sea, old nappies, cans, all just floating about.

Also, the place stunk. Like pollution, even from out at sea you could smell it.

When we got to shore, the Chinese Police were everywhere with machine guns.

I did not leave the ship.

I'm used to clean beaches, I'd never stopped to think what that meant before.

My local farmers don't have tomatoes all year. They don't have citrus fruits at all. They don't have peas all year round, or squash all year round, or heck - anything year round. Local farmers do basically no business at all in the winter, unless they're growing in hothouses - of which much of the building material is fabricated in China.

If you live in a climate that can allow you to enjoy local fresh produce and meats all year round, that's great. Most of the USA does not have that luxury.
