This Is "Free Trade"

Pig feces are used to feed the fish you eat that are imported from China, and this is approved and allowed for US human consumption.

At Chen Qiang’s tilapia farm in Yangjiang city in China’s Guangdong province, which borders Hong Kong, Chen feeds fish partly with feces from hundreds of pigs and geese. That practice is dangerous for American consumers, says Michael Doyle, director of the University of Georgia’s Center for Food Safety.
“The manure the Chinese use to feed fish is frequently contaminated with microbes like salmonella,” says Doyle, who has studied foodborne diseases in China.
On a sweltering, overcast day in August, the smell of excrement is overpowering. After seeing dead fish on the surface, Chen, 45, wades barefoot into his murky pond to open a pipe that adds fresh water from a nearby canal. Exporters buy his fish to sell to U.S. companies.

Isn't that nice?
This is what "globalism" has brought us.  And why do they use pig **** for fish food?
Because it's cheaper, just like it's cheaper to force college students to work as interns under penalty of being kicked out of school, and it's cheaper to poison the people with toxic manufacturing waste rather than recycle or otherwise properly neutralize and dispose of the effluent that goes into all those nice products you want for 50 cents less.
We're no longer just countenancing slavery and environmental destruction in the name of "globalism" and "free trade", violating every bit of any alleged "non-aggression principle" and literally supporting child labor, poisoning of people and enslavement, now we're eating pig **** that some fish has processed -- sold to us without our knowledge.
And people still wonder why I refuse to sign on to the so-called "free trade" bandwagon?
