“THINKING”
In todays times you have to be especially careful on what you eat, and where it is produced.
If the Food product does not say ‘Made In USA’, it can come from ‘Hi-Barberie’ for all we know.
If you can try to gravitate to locally grown food, and if possible Stay Away from ‘Fast Food’ places if you can. Not the same fast Food places quality as they were in 1950’s and 1960’s. IMO.

I agree with most of what you are saying but Perdue is an American Company. I occasionally drive by their chicken farms and processing plants down south.
