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 EZ Touring E-Z Touring was started in 1982 by my father, Jack Dempsey. He loved motorcycle touring, and he had an idea that a small, lightweight cover would be a great advantage ? but he couldn't find one. So he worked for weeks in his garage and he designed a cover. When he rode and used his cover, people would ask where he got it and where they could get one. He started making them for his friends and eventually a good idea became a company. My father passed away in 1990 doing what he loved. I know that he affected many lives in the motorcycle touring community and we always love to hear stories of Jack Dempsey when he was on the road. I took over the company in 1993 and moved it to Bend, Oregon, where I continued to follow his passion for motorcycling as a race official at professional bicycling events and an avid touring enthusiast. By logging thousands of miles each year on my motorcycle, I was able to constantly test and improve our products. Ready for a change, I returned to school, earned my master's degree in teaching, and I'm now a full-time high school teacher. But I will continue to ride every chance I get!
