High protein food at Dollar Tree



Recommended Posts

Just please read the labels for country of origin...some of Dollar Tree food in my area is from China. I, personally, would not trust any food and safety regulations for food processed in China.

Imported foods sold in this country (United States) have to pass the same federal (USDA and/or FDA) regulations as food produced here. You really have nothing to fear.

Tell the dogs that who have gotten sick and died from the imported Chinsese ingredients in their treats.

Strawman argument.

Foods for animals do not undergo the same rigorous certifications as those meant to be consumed by humans.

And your point is?

I am pretty sure that the deadly chinese dog products weren't up to the US dog products standards either. Her point is valid.

I went out shopping last night and noticed that Kroger and Wal-Mart carry frozen fish from China. I've always assumed that lots of our frozen fish was imported from China, so this wasn't a surprise. The dollar store frozen fish is from China and distributed in California. Like someone else mentioned, the fish should be inspected and regulated there. I'll have to research this further.

With the shortage in fish and rising prices, it is probably cheaper for stores to buy from China. Like I mentioned in

the original post, some of the dollar store canned meat is below average and tastes funny. I do wonder what is added and/or substituted in that stuff.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
