Product of Canada, eh?

It says "Product of Canada" on the package, but the food is really from China. Or New Zealand. Or . . .?

Eating local is hot this year. Restaurant menus across the country boast of fresh local meat and produce. Bestselling books encourage us to take up the "100-Mile Diet." 

Almost everywhere, there's a growing sense that it would be smart to reduce our consumption of food that's traveled halfway around the world.
