A lot of Americans are obsessed with the words bargain and sale. They eat crap because they can buy a lot of crap for a little money. They don't care that what they are eating is killing them.

They don't sell a better product in another country because they want to. They do it because the people in that country demand it.

In America, they can sell all of their poisoned and defective products. Some Americans will buy anything that is labeled, new, improved, sale, BOGO, super sized, etc..

As long as they keep buying crap they will keep getting crap.
