Silk brand is made in the USA. Earth's own is Canadian.

Retailers really need to start removing American products from the shelves, or there's going to be a lot of food waste and lost profits.

I don't care whether they do or not, since I'll only buy Canadian and NotAmerican™️from now on, but it would be nice not to have to see American goods when I get groceries.

Retailers get paid a product placement fee for this. This is how the big players keep smaller brands out of stores.

No way they will turn down money. Just don’t purchase it and advocate for clearer labelling for food products.

So much of our system is being exposed right now. We can’t even get exposed to new brands and companies/competitors! Everything has a bribe and a middle man.

Thanks for mentioning this issue. I already knew this but I connected for the first time how negative it makes me feel.

We need to consider outlawing these sort of deals or limit them in some way.
