Check your history. Trade with china didn't start until after Nixon
recognized China in 1972 after cold relations since the communist
takeover in 1949.

While I have my doubts that TV dinners were coming from China, there
certainly _was_ trade with China. It's just that prior to Nixon's
recognition of the People's Republic, "China" meant Taiwan.

Yes, TV dinners from that era were proudly "made" in the USA.

BTW, you older folks- remember this story? It was an urban legend:

OOPS - I forgot the "NOT" before 'coming from China' - can you buy, let's
say 'canned mushrooms' from anywhere else? - not in my grocery store in
Canada, and I am surrounded buy mushroom farms where I live - how well are
the Chinese Mushrooms regulated, and what else is in them, that we don't
know about? - I would gladly pay more for North American - 2 wks ago, I
checked the cans for where they were from and went back to the shelf to look
for something N.A. and there were none (we buy them quite often and the wife
picked up 2 cans)
P.S. - I am not Chinese bashing, I just have a problem with what keeps
coming up in the news about the Government over there turning a blind eye
and letting the companies do as they please to keep their employment and
revenue up
OK - done with the ranting Gale :~)

. dont buy canned mushrooms!!!!!!!!!!!!! go to your local mushroom
farm, buy a bunch, saute and freeze them for later use. they will
taste MUCH MUCH better and will be cheaper. Ingrid
