It is well know that some food selling
in America is actually imported from China. And yes, food that comes
from China is cheaper, but later we will pay a bigger price. It is about
our health.

fact, Chinese. Tilapia is a bottom feeder, meaning that they consume
everything they find. Taking into consideration the water pollution in
China, the consumption of anything that has been raised in the water is
extremely dangerous. According to one study, tilapia is even more
harmful than bacon.

Half of the Cod in America is actually
produced in China. Again the feeding issues and pollution there make its
consumption is far from safe. These exports have been even restricted
in China.

It is a well-known fact that China
includes dangerous pesticides on fruits and half of the apple juice in
the U.S. is from China. The Chinese government has banned these
pesticides, but they are still included in use. Therefore, it is safer
to make your own apple juice from local organic apples.
