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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
