Glad to hear that’s happening even in small towns!

I’m in the US and I’ll continue buying my favorite Canadian products (mostly gluten-free foods as my partner is celiac and Canada exports a lot of excellent GF food). Obviously can’t avoid American food here so I don’t buy stuff from red states which is surprisingly easy.

I worked at a food bank a couple years ago and we regularly received pallets of government cheese through The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP). They were massive blocks of orange cheddar with almost no text on the label. We also received pallets of government pistachios and dried cherries that were as good as any you’d buy in a store.
