Wish the list were longer, but it is still longer than one might have thought.

Hey that was a COOL STOOL
Frank makes a great point.
One thing I really liked was the COOL Labeling now found on all food packages. (Country Of Orgin Labeling). Even if say a calf is born in Mexico, shipped to a feedlot in California and then slaughtered in a USA slaughterhouse, is is labeled as orginating from Mexico.
Of course me being...well...me, I am never satisfied so I would like to see upped to STOOL (State of Orgin Labeling).
Then if you had a sample would that be a stool sample ...
IM not sure the list is 100% clear.
something designated made in America: does that mean every component was actually made by American hands, or maybe something was imported and it was all assembled in America.
Maybe material was purchased from somewhere else and then made into garments here.
I just have a hard time belieiving when it comes to certain things with so many different parts all the parts are manufactured here, and nothing is being made overseas then brought here for the final product.
Not sure of the exact wording and ruling, but as I remember, under U.S. Customs rules, generally something is "Made in a country" if the majority of the assembly occurred in that country... regardless of where the components were made... so items using U.S. components, but assembled in Costa Rica could be designated as "Made in Costa Rica"... this may have changed since I worked in the industry, so don't quote me on that...
you are frank your the first one to post about it and no one in this forum owns one
