Well, that's one way to have the brain stop ticking. . . eventually.

The American chickens don't renounce their American citizenship before they're processed.

Same thing with Italian tomato sauce. The tomatoes come from China, but when process it in Italy, basically add water and salt, Ta-Da! it becomes "Tomato di Napoli" or whatever.

That's the gayness of the system.

It was definitely Confucius, or similar philosopher

Gayness is not ok dude.

And surely we can ensure that the chickens coming back are 100% American, with no chinese chickens mixed in...

You guys have seen Super Size Me 2, right? I'm not a big Morgan Spurlock fanboy (wasn't the biggest fan of Super Size Me 1) but I really liked what he did in this one about the chicken industry.

In one scene, he's got thousands of chickens and then all he has to do is leave the door open with like a ten foot fence that "allows the chickens to go outside" if they want (which none of them do) in order put the label "free range" on the chickens he raises for the "farm to table" fast food restaurant he opens.

The meat does not need to be labeled as processed in China.

So there's no way to tell?

There is a similar situation with garlic

Trump has caused much chaos in the organic farming sector. They didn't even subsidize farming after covid.

Maybe it's a claim of sovereignty over China by the US.
