<p>[QUOTE="statequarterguy, post: 969573, member: 21782"]You know, that's what you'd think if you walked into a Walmart, but most things are still made here, just not as many of the same thing. If I can't find it in a B&M, there are several websites that specialize in made in USA - just search that and you'll find a few.</p><p> We make it a rule that nothing from China goes in our mouths and we discourage the kids from wanting toys from there, but that's not always possible. Seems like 10% of those toys are dead out of the package and the rest die soon. After we threw out some Thomas Trains (lead paint) and watched a neighbor's pets die from poisoned pet food, we swore off China and looked for US made. The price is a little higher, but usually a better value due to the higher quality and product safety. Another reason we buy American is we felt like we were slapped in the face by US companies taking US jobs offshore and then selling those inferior products to us. Buy American and bring the jobs back.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
