Show #638: CHEAP FOOD FROM CHINA
Guests: Open Microphone
Subject: There are three frightening ironies within the three simple sentences of this Chico Enterprise-Record letter to the editor: “Today when I paid for my child’s lunch at school, I asked about the food that was being served. The lunch lady explained that all the canned food is from China because it is really cheap. She showed me the cans and verified the truth.” Can you identify three ironies in this letter to the editor?
Topics include why Chico, California must feed its school children cheap food from China; the true costs of buying that cheap food; and the consequences of forcing food production off shore.
