In America, our stores are full of goods “made in China”—in the Home Depots, Macy’s, Walmarts, Targets, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Best Buy’s, furniture stores, shoe stores, apparel stores, etc. Also, all sorts of electronic goods ranging from Apple iPhones, iPads, Mac books, other computers, TV sets; even steel, some cars; and pharmaceuticals—a lot of these we order online and in Amazon—all are made in China. As a result of all these, the American people’s money, jobs, industries/factories, manufacturing skills, and know-how are lost to China. Thus, China has become richer with American people’s money while America becomes poorer; China becomes stronger while America becomes weaker. China’s military power around the world rises, whereas America’s power is reduced. China also steals American research, technology, intellectual property through its students attending American universities and colleges. If this situation is not reversed China will terrorize America and the world. This book is about reversing that situation.

Informative and direct, this book aims to inspire individuals to actively take the food system back from corporations and put it in the hands of people."
