Question

How bout dog food from China?

Answer 1

food na..... when its comes to toilet papers, tooth pastes , bath soaps ...its ok

Answer 2

I am too old, and too old-fashioned.  For the most part, I do not want anything imported; only exceptions would be for things we do not produce at all, such as wicker or rattan.

No food imports at all, including from Mexico.

Answer 3

As an American, I do not want dog food imported from China! I do not trust China with the health of our pets or ourselves. I feel they would love to see the U.S. fall.

Answer 4

No...do not...in country can produce anything we need..when we start buying out of country we get food that is old, shipped long distance and contaminated....it is greedy buyers, (as in warehousing), that are the culprits and needs to be stopped..

This started with manufacturing in the seventy's and now we are stuck with junk..and machine operators working at low wages...in service industrys

Answer 5

NO! Dog?! Oh my goodness! Thank God we are not that backward in this country.

Answer 7

Absolutely not. There's too much that is imported that doesn't need to be and there's too many people who haven't a clue in paving over farmland it's jeopardizing our food supply.

Answer 8

Gross! No way!

Hamburgers are good....

Answer 9

no

Answer 10

Eventually it will happen.

Actually is very close.

US farmers will choose to grow what is more profitable, and other types of food will need to be imported.

Answer 11

short answer,,,,,,,   ABSOLUTELY NOT !!!

Recent situation with China proved any food from other countries should not be trusted as being safe for consumption

Answer 12

I do not care for imported foods. I think we would be better off if we could concentrate on becoming self sufficient before shipping off all our goods and importing from everywhere else. Al Gore once said that we could buy our food from outside of the country cheaper than we could raise it ourselves. That's why he wasn't big on agriculture. Why would anyone want to rely on a country to feed us that probably doesn't like us in the first place? Doesn't sound very safe to me.

Answer 13

Importing food makes us dependent on other countries and will leave us high and dry when we lose our agricultural infrastructure through attrition. Use it or lose it.  USDA and Big Ag are setting us up for a disaster. Their only concern is the bottom line.  They aren't thinking long term.

Answer 14

No, but imported dog food is okay whether from China or somewhere else.

Answer 15

Depends what type of food you're talking about. Fruits and Candy, I don't care. We don't grow fruit all year long. Meat, fish, chicken, pretty much anything that needs to be cooked, no! Another food I don't care about being imported is cheese.

For me it's a health concern. I could give a flying buck about politics.

Answer 16

H--- no! Not food, toothpaste or anything else for that matter.

Answer 17

I live in Louisiana.  We have real shrimp here.  The Chineese import those little things, full of antibiotics, and call them "shrimp".  They taste like what I imagine cat food is like.

NO !!!

Answer 18

NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Answer 19

Some has to be imported, when we are unable to grow it here.  If we can grow it here, I think we need to support our farmers.  There are fewer and fewer farmers in this country, and those that are left are working harder than ever, sometimes for less money than ever.  If the day ever comes when the US relies on other countries for its food the way it relies on other countries for oil, we will be in BIG trouble.  Hungry people will do just about anything to eat.

Also, consider that food safety is better in this country than in any other country in the world.  Support local growers.
