I'm Canadian. Do we even grow oranges? If not.... why do oranges go all the way to Canada to be turned into juice, only to be exported south?
I don't understand this whole global food production thing.
Labels are tricky little buggers, they don't always list all the information we need to make wise choices for our health. You know, those words like distributed by, manufactured by, made in, imported from, product of...and on and on. Some products list where the ingredients are from but it doesn't seem to be a requirement.
I'm with Baltimore. There ain't no frickin' place for the Canadians to grow oranges. I mean, if they did I am all for it, but I doubt it. We should OK their bananas and coffee beans at the same time.
I would like to see more testing of imported human and animal food stuffs. Especially items from the Far East. Who knows what kind of poisons they contain.
FWIW BaltimoreStudent has a good point. Do oranges grow in Canada?
Well now, experts, you say because Tropicana has a mix of U.S. and Brazilian oranges we should be okay. So, you are sure of the ratio when trying to allay our concerns and can tell us that this is not harmful?
The level of the stuff is so low that we get more harmful stuff from the drugs we are pumping into our sewage, to our lakes and back into our water supply.
Where the heck are there orange trees in Canada, buried under the snow? LOL
British Columbia has mild winters and certain strains of fruit can be grown there, as well as the most potent marijuana in the world!
