Of course Asia has apple trees I can guarantee you China had them before us.

They originated in Asia.
A few years ago they did a show that showed tanker truck drivers washing chemicals (some type of polyurethane) out of their trucks and filling them up with apple juice.

This was and is common practice.
Where was it?
Right here in the good old USA.

You turn over enough rocks and your bound to find a snake.

Oh my goodness, given the horrible smog in Bejing I can't see how anything grows anywhere near there. I'm more concerned about their processing procedures. And I want to see on the lable WHERE MY FOOD COMES FROM so I can make an informed decision about what I buy.

I already know not to buy chicken in anything as it might come from China.....

Sheesh.......

Default Martinellis

Ok, after an hour on the internet I found out that one of the only apple juices coming from and produced in the US is Martinellis.

That's what I'm buying from now on..........

The worst part is that our outsourced pollution is drifting back to us.

This page on the Martinellis website is alarming as well:
