No, I don't read labels. I also don't shop. I shoot my own meat in texas, brew my own beer from barley grown in Kansas and hops grown in Washington state, and wear shirts and pants and socks 30 years old and more than likely made in N. Carolina. My shoes were made probably in Miami because only a cuban could make such ill fitting shoes...

I only buy GM. Which invariably means I buy products made in Canada. But no. Our next car is gonna be a Cadillac CTS. Made in Poletown! This is racist but I won't even attempt to spell Hamtramck in Detroit.

Now, my wife shops. So I get to eat, cuz my only gun can't hit a can of beans at 10 yards...

Ok, this brings a funny story to mind. About 8 years ago, I was managing the construction of 4 new schools in Houston. This involved tearing down existing buildings. My abatement contractor accidently sampled NEW roofing mastic and it came back positive for asbestos. This mastic (roofing tar) came in 5 gallon buckets with 5" high letters saying "ASBESTOS FREE." Yeah. Right... Made in Mexico.

Oh hey - Cathy, I only eat hungarian sausages made in Toledo Ohio!
