my wife does most of the consumable purchases for our home so she has had to do most of the “is this a USA product?” checks and she discovered 2 things:
1 - we were lucky, only 20% or so of our regular purchases needed to change
2 - every substitution to walk away from USA stuff has resulted in a better, more enjoyable and/or higher Yuka rated product
There are things I reach for, then I see it’s American so I put it back, then I realize “I shouldn’t be eating that crap anyways” like pop tarts. It’s made me eat healthier because it made me stop and think about all the stuff I buy that’s exclusively American and it’s usually something unhealthy i want but don’t need.
