But a free market actually works better when we have all of the information to make informed choices. I don't want to buy apple juice with apples grown in Eastern Europe or China, which are usually filled with pesticides and every other kind of filth. I don't want to buy cheese with Milk Protean concentrates from milk made in the same places, places that are close to cheynoble for example. The one thing we still do the best in the world is produce high quality agricultural products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're good footwear too. I were New Balance sneakers all the time and they last long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My suade Nike ACG shoes smell like something terrible. I am wearing them now and can smell them. I will buy myself a pair of New Balance shoes if I can get them in black. I just feel weird wearing white shoes. I hope that I can get a black pair of cross trainers from New Balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
