The Tip is 'Watch What You Eat' While in the grocery store recently I noticed that the apples were from South America. Next to South American apples were a bin of apples labeled Made in USA. I decided to go with the Made in America apples since they were US grown. Always remember the Big Secret- buying more American made products helps put Americans back to work. It will guide you to food you will want to eat that is grown with US labor. If you just take a moment to look and think before you buy, it is likely you will find what you are looking for. Also, be careful because sometimes labels are not what they seem. Some companies use the letters USA to fool you into thinking they are American products. Trust only those products that literally claim their country of origin. Look for labeling like: Product of USA, Made in USA, Grown in USA, or other definitive markings. And last, when you begin the journey of purposely identifying American products keep in mind that it may take a little time but the more you look the easier it becomes. You will start to remember which brands are made in the USA and which aren't. This knowledge makes it easy and will accumulate over time. Some food items are not grown in the USA and you will learn that too. The Big Secret tells us we don't need to purchase everything from USA manufacturers just a little more than we are accustom to. If you can average $200 a month more on domestic purchases than you otherwise would it adds up fast. $2,400 a year is equivalent to 7 MILLION new American jobs. We believe that is a good thing. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Boudreaux Butt Paste It all started back in the late 1970s. I was a pharmacist in Covington, Louisiana. Back then, the local pharmacist was like your local doctor. Folks would tell me what was wrong, and I could usually give them what they needed. Since I had four kids myself, diaper rash was something I dealt with every day, either at home or at the pharmacy, usually both. I never thought the stuff on the shelves worked as well as it should, so I kept working on different formulas on my own. And I guess the stubborn Cajun in me wouldn't let it rest until I had something. I finally landed on one that worked pretty darn good. Soon, word spread about some ?magic diaper cream.' One day, somebody came in and said, ?Give me some of that butt paste,' and the name stuck. By the late ?90s, it had gone from my drugstore to the biggest stores in the country. It's the bright yellow box with the funny-looking baby on it. We call him Booty, short for Boudreaux in Cajun Country. I think the name kinda suits, don't you? |
