Meat in Publix Grocery stores in Florida

8. Many are concerned about what country their
food is coming from due to all of the e. coli, melamine, etc. I think it's a very valid issue of "knowing."

13. Slow food, Local food the Way to go
Why should we outsource food production, then pay to ship it back into the US?

3. Why are you still shopping there when their managers told
employees not to vote for Obama.

5. Is this true that they were told not to vote for Obama?
If so, I will do all my shopping at Whole Foods and Fresh Market from now on!

10. Oh wow, thanks so much! I'm done with them.
Today, I did a huge shopping at Costco and was going to get a few essentials at Publix, but I'm done with them now. I'm in Highland Beach (near Boca).

Thanks again - really appreciate the info!

12. Does that also mean Canada and Mexico are getting meat from the US?
Because if that's so, they have a better than average chance of getting mad cow now.
