Merry Xmas, even Garlic is made in China rant...

[Dead Money]

Happy Holidays to all...had a Xmas rant..

Making a favorite marinate for pork tenderloin, needed some garlic.

I believe Gilroy California is the garlic capitol of USA, drove thru there once, remember sign.

Went to corner grocery store, not Walmart, Warehouse Market, much better meats...picked up a bulb of garlic and saw big sign, country of origin, CHINA...

Folks, if friggin garlic is imported from China, we as a country are doomed....teach your children Mandarin, they will have Chinese overseers in thirty or 40 years....

America, we knew you well....:sadwave:

Suprises me we be importing garlic from China now as at all time high-quadrupling in past few months--medicinal purposes for flu is the cause.

Garlic beats gold as China's hot new asset

By Ju Chuanjiang and Zhao Ruixue in Shandong and Li Xiang in Beijing (China Daily)

Shao Mingqing was a jobless young man from Shandong province with only a junior high school diploma when his luck turned around a few months ago with the skyrocketing price of garlic.

The 22-year-old Shao now drives an 180,000-yuan Toyota he bought with the money he made on the garlic market.​

Shao's face was lit up with joy when he talked about his recent success.​

"I borrowed some money and decided to buy 100 tons of garlic at the price of 3.2 yuan per kilogram (kg) in September," Shao said. "I made a profit of 400,000 yuan from selling it at the price of 7.2 yuan a month later."
Shao isn't the only one who has made a tidy fortune out of garlic, which has exceeded gold and stocks as the country's best performing asset this year.

I have a friend in Pittsburgh that grows a couple of acres of garlic as a hobby.

I'm sure he would ship you some, but the Chinese variety is going to be a lot less expensive.

On a sidenote, I love how people blame the Waltons for this.

It's very simple. If the general public didn't want the corner grocer to go out of business, they would have kept shopping there and paying more.

With that being said, most small towns now have a syhpon for their money running from their town to Benton.
