There may or may not be more to that. The big manufacturers had a loophole where they could manufacture on the slave islands and tag it as USA. These were all the big big companies tied in with wal mart etc.

Those are not the companies I buy from. The smaller US companies don't do that crap they make it here for real...

Why does that matter?

Do you have the same standard for other countries as well?

I don't have standards for other countries but there are parts of the U.S. I would certainly buy from.

Seriously? Sturgeon's Law - 90% of everything is crud - applies for US products as well, obviously. But there is some good stuff - seriously good stuff - being made in the US.

I've been buying made in USA any chance I get.

I have done more than just buy products made in the US, I prefer to buy local and regional. I like to know where as much of what I buy comes from, and I prefer much of what I buy to come from the Northwest so that I am supporting those that live around me. I have been doing this long before Trump ever decided to leave his Reality TV life for politics.

I think this was the one my friend had, clean without a lot of plastic. No drooling.
