We have a pretty diverse community here but predominately North American and European I'm guessing. Living In Canada we get our fair share of food products from China, Thailand etc. My brother won't eat a damn thing from the Asian region because he believes we are being slowly poisoned. I disagree. I've never had any issues with food I've eaten from over there. Are any of you hesitant to eat food products from foreign countries and why?


@Master

I'm telling you in advance to fuck off for when you see this and call it a shitpost.

When I drink beer I don't always drink a Local IPA, sometimes I'll have a Beck's by the 12 Pack!

I haven't had any issues with imported food. I think your brother might be a bit paranoid.

Yeah about being poisoned, reassure your brother that he doesn't need to go to Asia to be slowly poisoned, he's getting it right here at home.

The USDA peels or scrubs and washes produce samples before testing, whereas the FDA only removes dirt before testing its samples. Even after these steps, the tests still find traces 251* different pesticides.Mar 15, 2023

*That's just pesticides.

I don't eat seafood. Part of that is because I have an extreme shellfish allergy and I'm totally turned off by all of it. I'm aware of Country Of Origin (COO) labeling and I don't like what I see. Most of our frozen seafood comes from Asian countries. There is also the farm-raised issue. I don't know if it's bad or not but I'll stay away from it. As far as fish goes, most of it has to do with salmon, tilapia and catfish. People love their salmon! A lot of people buy tilapia because it doesn't have a fishy taste, the filets are uniform in size and it's easy to cook.

I don't eat farm raised fish. If you see how they are raised...it's just gross.

They say China exports the good stuff and keeps the poisoned crap for themselves, but still, I stay away from anything made there or from Asia in general, to be honest.

Not a lot of stuff from China here though, except for garlic and frozen fish, maybe the occasional pasta in the imports section.

I buy ramen noodles at a grocery store that are made in Thailand. They blow 'Mr. Noodles' out the damn water in every way and cost like only 75 cents or something.

Don't buy lamb chops from Australia. They keep all the good ones for themselves and send us the tough, grisly ones.

Fucking Aussies!

I avoid absolutely everything made in my country including packaged food when possible. Its easy for me being that I'm a healthy eater. My resion is NZ people are mentally retarded and getting worse with anyone with 20% brain function or more and no criminal record already migrated away. I won't eat or introduce anything into my house thats been made by low intelligent belligerent fuckwits, its common scene really unless you are yourself a low intelligent belligerent fuckwit.
