How much food we import

[Ed P]

I assume these figures are correct, we import more than I'd have guessed.

A 2023 report by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said that 94
percent of seafood sold in the U.S. in 2018 was imported from abroad,
along with 55 percent of fresh fruit and 32 percent of fresh vegetables.

"Among the notable products imported are various fruits and vegetables
from Mexico; apple juice, tilapia and cod from China; and a small amount
of wheat from both Canada and Europe," said Quoc Le.

Eggs are another story

Why Is There an Egg Shortage Right Now?
The latest report by the Department of Agriculture's Agricultural
Marketing Service, which was published last week, said bird flu
outbreaks—and fires in poultry facilities—resulted in a total loss of
39.9 million egg-laying hens across 12 U.S. states in 2024.

The report added that 43 percent of those losses occurred in the last
two months of the year, with "persistent and significant outbreaks of
highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in commercial table egg layer
flocks through December."

Not to worry Ed. Trump ascends to the imperial throne in a week or two,
and all this shit will be fixed on day one. He will impose massive
tariffs, thus lowering prices and make america truly great again. By day
two, all the stress will be over and forgotten my friend.

You'll be picking tall cotton then.

Hawaii has been importing most of its food for over a hundred years.
Before then, the Hawaiians were completely self-sustainable. They had to
be or die. They were also a healthy bunch of people - with no known
diseases. We'll have to live on mostly fish and poi but it'll all be
worth it.

I only use "white man" or "whitie" when I'm talking to you, because
you seem to think in these terms. I don't find it offensive, although
blackies arent black, yellowies aren't yellow and whities aren't
white, of course.

I just bought about 6 pounds of Chilean dark red sweet cherries. $30,

And my first favorite helps prevent prostate cancer! I'm on a health
kick, more than usual, these days. We bought a rec center membership,
and I've been getting decent workouts in the lazy river. Two days ago,
I did 1/4 mile upstream, yesterday I did half a mile, and today, 3/4
mile. I can't walk for exercise because my left knee needs surgery. My
right knee got fixed, and now the left one apparently needs surgery too.
It's not like it's terrible pain, but I'm really sick of it.

I'm really sparing with carbs these days, but pomegranates and cherries
get first priority. One should always eat the seeds of pomegranates
because they contain a very beneficial fatty acid. I've asked my wife
to independently research a list of dietary supplements that I plan to
start buying and taking after her pension starts, and we are in a
position to easily afford the costs. The one thing that I do now is
pomegranate seed oil.

I'll post here about supplements in the future. It'll mostly fall on
dead ears. I remember years ago, when I posted about partially
hydrogenated oils, that many folks acted like I was the one who was
misinformed. Now, that shit is no longer even considered safe.>

Considering Bryan's bad knee, I'll suggest some supplements that may help
alleviate knee pain and support joint health. Keep in mind that it's
always best to consult with a healthcare professional before adding any
new supplements to your diet. Here are some options:

• Glucosamine and Chondroitin: These two supplements are often taken
together to support joint health and reduce inflammation. Glucosamine
helps maintain joint fluid viscosity, while chondroitin supports cartilage
health.

• Omega-3 fatty acids: These anti-inflammatory fatty acids, particularly
EPA and DHA, may help reduce joint pain and inflammation. You can find
them in fish oil supplements or flaxseed oil.

• Turmeric/Curcumin: Curcumin, a compound in turmeric, has potent
anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which may help alleviate
knee pain and inflammation.

• Vitamin D: Maintaining adequate vitamin D levels is essential for bone
health, and research suggests it may also help reduce joint pain and
inflammation.

• Ginger: Ginger has anti-inflammatory properties that may help reduce
pain and inflammation in the knee.

• MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane): MSM is a natural sulfur compound that may
help reduce joint pain and inflammation.

• Hyaluronic acid: This naturally occurring substance in the body helps
maintain joint fluid viscosity and may help reduce knee pain and
inflammation.

• Gypsy tears: Gypsy Tears possesses the following health benefits,
It's said to calm the heart and soothe the soul, bringing peace and
tranquility to those who consume it. The herb is believed to have
anti-inflammatory properties, helping to reduce swelling and ease pain in the body.

It's essential to note that while these supplements may be beneficial,
they should not replace medical treatment or advice. Bryan should consult
with his healthcare professional to determine the best course of treatment
for his knee condition.

We are the true visionaries of rfc! It is believed that masturbation can
reduce your chances of getting cancer of the prostate - but only if
you're over the age of 50. I suppose you could be having more sex
instead but who the heck has the time or opportunity?

Try to get your attributions straight. I'm no Hawaiian superhero. You're
just so weak and unsure of yourself that you consider a person like me
to be a threat. That's just so silly.

Koreans have a wisely apt term for Miss Bwuthie's sort of attitude:

- "gong ju byeong", which translates roughly as “princess disease.”

Oh Hank. Say it isn't so. Don't tell me you're listening
so much to Greg it's turned your taste a bit queer.

I'm thinking more along the lines of a hula hoop with
a set of computer-controlled electromagnets *within*
the hoop that can be set into the lower-numbered normal
modes of activation for simple harmonic motion.

Thusly the hoop could keep going around & around even
without wiggling or twerking your ass.

Tonkatsu is good stuff. Most of the katsu eaten in Hawaii is chicken
katsu. Chicken katsu is made with boneless chicken thigh. I don't know
any substitute for panko. Your best bet is to just fry up a pork loin
with just salt and pepper. I'm sure you could make a GF pork loin using
a batter. A greasy pork sandwich is popular in Montana. It's called a
"Wop Chop" - a most politically incorrect name.

I've never used mochiko flour to coat fried foods. I like to make a
baked treat called butter mochi. Use the Koda Farms mochiko.

LOL on the name of the Montana burger!
I'll try the katsu on Chicken thigh. Super easy to debone them so I
get family packs on bone-in and pull off the skin and debone as needed.
Tonight I got derailed (happens lots). Don was thinking
'Spaghetti-like but not spaghetti. Laugh, I'm used to his way of
saying stuff. He wanted something new (or rarely served). Harris
Teeter had a loss-leader sale on 16oz frozen cooked beef meatballs for
2.50. Snagged a bag while doing my typical Thursday (senior discount)
day. They also had a 'new to me' HT brand Italian diced tomato sale
(57cents a can).
I don't have a fancy name for it yet but it was very easy. Wrap you
mental tounge around this!
https://postimg.cc/cvt7MWdd
2 16oz cans Italian diced tomatoes and juice
1 can black beans (rinse if desired)
12 meatballs (about 1/2 the bag, they are smallish)
1/2 TB dried Basil
2 tsp black pepper
2 tsp powdered roasted garlic
(salt at serving)
Basmati rice, 1 cup per serving
You could serve separately but we made a bed of rice and topped with
the mix which had been simmered together on low for 30 minutes to blend.
The leftovers are going to morf into a soup/stew in the crockpot with
some added tomato soup, fresh Italian flat green beans, and might add
corn. A few Yukon gold potatoes might be chopped in there too.
Haven't decided.

Smile, that looks like something Charlotte will adore! Yes, rice flour
is used for a very light breading in Japan to get around GF needs. It
depends on the item and it's a light breading or has to be shifted to
batter and is more on the tempura side then. That wouldn't be a huge
shift if it was 'tempura fried' I think.

Mochi rice is also called "glutinous rice." The thing about glutinous
rice is that it contains no gluten. Weird, eh? It is considered to be
good luck to eat mochi for the New Year. Most people will buy mochi from
the store. Some people like to do it the hard way.

Yes, it is wierd! I'm sure it's the sticky starch bit they followed.
It lacks the gluten protein. BTW, that's also why rice is good for
dogs with wheat allergies. They get the starch burst for energy they
need, but nothing that causes allergies.

Tempura batter is mostly made from corn starch and wheat flour. You can
make GF waffles from mochiko flour. It'll look great but the texture is

Not all Japanese Tempura's use mochiko flour (sorry, shortened the name
to mochi above, may have accidently thrown you).

Link above is a Hawaiian web site that mentions it. It's combined with
wheat flour (often cake flour). Found a nice set of links yesterday
showing 4 top tempura chefs of Japan and their recipes. I think 3 used
mochiko and 1 didn't. Now, I can't find it (grrr).

My impression in Japan was Mochiko is the standard starch combined with
fine ground white wheat flour. Maybe in Hawaii it's more common to use
cornstarch?

A Flour-like looking product made from rice goes way far back from my
impression of Japan and likely China etc. I couldn't find an exact
date but 10,000 years seems likely. The process of grinding grains and
cereals can be traced 30,000 years. Your guess is good as any on it!

Not all Japanese Tempura's use mochiko flour (sorry, shortened the
name to mochi above, may have accidently thrown you).
Link above is a Hawaiian web site that mentions it. It's combined
with wheat flour (often cake flour). Found a nice set of links
yesterday showing 4 top tempura chefs of Japan and their recipes.
I think 3 used mochiko and 1 didn't. Now, I can't find it (grrr).
My impression in Japan was Mochiko is the standard starch combined
with fine ground white wheat flour. Maybe in Hawaii it's more
common to use cornstarch?
A Flour-like looking product made from rice goes way far back from
my impression of Japan and likely China etc. I couldn't find an
exact date but 10,000 years seems likely. The process of grinding
grains and cereals can be traced 30,000 years. Your guess is good
as any on it!

Mostly in Hawaii, mochiko flour is used to make mochi desserts and
Filipino sweets. It's also used to make mochiko chicken. Mochiko
chicken is a new upstart in the Hawaiian fried chicken scene. It got
popular real fast.

Yes. Mochiko flour permeates many recipes. It's as versatile as wheat
flour in it's own ways, from crispy batters, to candy and ice cream,
including thickeners and all sorts of batters.

Stands to reason if it's been used for an estimated 10,000 years (A
guess, I can't find a date), that it would be well incorporated into
many products of those regions by now.

You've had Tempura though? Normally that is a batter combining
Mochi flour and wheat flour. The wheat adds stability/structure
but it's not really that delicate airy crispy ice-water batter
without the rice flour.

I've never heard of tempura batter using mochiko flour. I have
used rice flour/corn starch to lighten/crisp up waffle batter.
Mostly, mochiko flour is used where you want to make something
gooey and chewy.
Tempura batter is mostly made from corn starch and wheat flour.
You can make GF waffles from mochiko flour. It'll look great but
the texture is going to be decidedly shocking. Who the heck
doesn't love chewy waffles?

Trump arrives in DC with family ahead of inauguration extravaganza

Published Jan. 18, 2025, 5:14 p.m. ET

"Mr. Trump goes to Washington — again.

President-elect Donald Trump started his official return to Washington
Saturday afternoon to prepare for his historic inauguration...

The Republican, along with wife Melania and youngest son Barron, waved
to a crowd of supporters as he boarded a US military airplane supplied
by President Biden in West Palm Beach, Fla. He was later seen arriving
at Dulles Airport after 7 p.m...

Trump, 78, ditched his navy and crimson “Trump Force One” for the
specially configured Boeing 757-200, typically used by high-ranking
officials and referred to as “Air Force Two” when carrying the vice
president...

Trump’s arrival marks the start of a weekend of preparations for his
Monday inauguration, which is set to take place in the Capitol Rotunda
for the first time in 40 years due to extreme cold weather conditions...

The president-elect is holding a reception and fireworks show Saturday
night at his golf club in Virginia with a crowd of 500 guests...

On Sunday, he will lay a wreath at Arlington National Cemetery and then
hold a “Make America Great Again Victory Rally” inside the Capital One
Arena in downtown Washington....

He will then spend the night at Blair House — across from the Executive
Mansion he’ll call home for the next four years — and take tea Monday
morning with outgoing President Biden, 82, before heading to the
Capitol...

He is set to be sworn in at noon local time before delivering his
inaugural address..."

I just had a happy read on the history of Tonkatsu. I see Pork
Loin is a good choice so may try it. I'll have to check my Panko
stocks. I wonder if Mochiko (rice flour name if I recall right)
might be a GF substitute? I have a friend who needs that. Could
be dried basmat would also work well for the crunchy texture. Blue
lettering on white box for the rice flour.

Tonkatsu is good stuff. Most of the katsu eaten in Hawaii is chicken
katsu. Chicken katsu is made with boneless chicken thigh. I don't know
any substitute for panko. Your best bet is to just fry up a pork loin
with just salt and pepper. I'm sure you could make a GF pork loin
using a batter. A greasy pork sandwich is popular in Montana. It's
called a "Wop Chop" - a most politically incorrect name.

LOL on the name of the Montana burger!

I'll try the katsu on Chicken thigh. Super easy to debone them so I
get family packs on bone-in and pull off the skin and debone as needed.

Tonight I got derailed (happens lots). Don was thinking
'Spaghetti-like but not spaghetti. Laugh, I'm used to his way of
saying stuff. He wanted something new (or rarely served). Harris
Teeter had a loss-leader sale on 16oz frozen cooked beef meatballs for
2.50. Snagged a bag while doing my typical Thursday (senior discount)
day. They also had a 'new to me' HT brand Italian diced tomato sale
(57cents a can).

I don't have a fancy name for it yet but it was very easy. Wrap you
mental tounge around this!

https://postimg.cc/cvt7MWdd

2 16oz cans Italian diced tomatoes and juice
1 can black beans (rinse if desired)
12 meatballs (about 1/2 the bag, they are smallish)
1/2 TB dried Basil
2 tsp black pepper
2 tsp powdered roasted garlic
(salt at serving)

Basmati rice, 1 cup per serving

You could serve separately but we made a bed of rice and topped with
the mix which had been simmered together on low for 30 minutes to blend.

The leftovers are going to morf into a soup/stew in the crockpot with
some added tomato soup, fresh Italian flat green beans, and might add
corn. A few Yukon gold potatoes might be chopped in there too.
Haven't decided.

I've never used mochiko flour to coat fried foods. I like to make a
baked treat called butter mochi. Use the Koda Farms mochiko.

https://www.biggerbolderbaking.com/hawaiian-butter-mochi/

Smile, that looks like something Charlotte will adore! Yes, rice flour
is used for a very light breading in Japan to get around GF needs. It
depends on the item and it's a light breading or has to be shifted to
batter and is more on the tempura side then. That wouldn't be a huge
shift if it was 'tempura fried' I think.

My posts about the Hawaiians does seem to get them excited. The idea of

I'll post here about supplements in the future.  It'll mostly fall on
dead ears.  I remember years ago, when I posted about partially
hydrogenated oils, that many folks acted like I was the one who was
misinformed.  Now, that shit is no longer even considered safe.>

We are the true visionaries of rfc! It is believed that masturbation can
reduce your chances of getting cancer of the prostate - but only if
you're over the age of 50. I suppose you could be having more sex
instead but who the heck has the time or opportunity?

My friend's daughter is a herbalist and she gave him some herbal tea
that was formulated to deal with benign prostate issues. He has prostate
issues and tried it. He could not have been happier with the results.
He wanted me to try it but when I talked to her and she reviewed my
medications she said it was not compatible.

FWIW Every year I participate in the Ride For Dads to raise money for
prostate cancer research and education. My friend is the top fund
raiser in the district and I think #3 in Canada. He raised over $18,000
last year. My father died of prostate cancer so I am at risk. I get the
PSA test every year and so far there is nothing to worry about, though I
wish my old mad bladder would let me sleep through the night.

Congratulations. You can call yourself a survivor.
It's a nasty disease. There is a lot of hype about breast cancer. There
is good reason for it because it affects such a significant number of
women. It has certainly been an issue in my wife's family. She lost her
mother, an aunt and a cousin to it, and she had a scare last year but
thank goodness a biopsy results were negative. However an even higher
percentage of men are afflicted with prostate cancer. It's a bitch. All

results. He wanted me to try it but when I talked to her and she
reviewed my medications she said it was not compatible.

I had my cancer-ridden prostate removed in 1997 and was fortunate that
it hadn't spread. A friend, a cousin and an uncle were not so lucky.

Congratulations.  You can call yourself a survivor.
It's a nasty disease. There is a lot of hype about breast cancer. There
is good reason for it because it affects such a significant number of
women.  It has certainly been an issue in my wife's family. She lost her
mother, an aunt and a cousin to it, and she had a scare last year but
thank goodness a biopsy results were negative.   However an even higher
percentage of men are afflicted with prostate cancer.  It's a bitch. All

A significant number of men get breast cancer too!

I had mine irradiated to death in 2015. So far, so good. Dad died of
prostate cancer back when they castrated you. He made ten years after
that procedure.
Both of my closest male friends also have had prostate cancer. It's said
that if men could live to 150, all would get it. "It's said".
We don't like to talk about it among ourselves, but spreading the news
to the World via rfc is OK! ;)
If my PSA starts to rise, see what they did to Dad. Who cares? I'm
knocking on 80. I win!

My father was diagnosed with it when he was 90!
I discussed my situation at length with my surgeon.
Cutting it out was the best bet.

I'll post here about supplements in the future.  It'll mostly fall on
dead ears.  I remember years ago, when I posted about partially
hydrogenated oils, that many folks acted like I was the one who was
misinformed.  Now, that shit is no longer even considered safe.>

We are the true visionaries of rfc! It is believed that masturbation can
reduce your chances of getting cancer of the prostate - but only if
you're over the age of 50. I suppose you could be having more sex
instead but who the heck has the time or opportunity?

My friend's daughter is a herbalist and she gave him some herbal tea
that was formulated to deal with benign prostate issues. He has prostate
issues and tried it. He could not have been happier with the results.
He wanted me to try it but when I talked to her and she reviewed my
medications she said it was not compatible.
FWIW Every year I participate in the Ride For Dads to raise money for
prostate cancer research and education. My friend is the top fund
raiser in the district and I think #3 in Canada. He raised over $18,000
last year. My father died of prostate cancer so I am at risk. I get the
PSA test every year and so far there is nothing to worry about, though I
wish my old mad bladder would let me sleep through the night.

You could use one of those plastic clothes detergent containers instead
of getting up at night, although I'm not sure if those are sold in your
country. I used to use them when I had a foot injury. Those work just
spiffy and they have a leak-proof cap. Then again, I guess you could
stop drinking so much water.

And my first favorite helps prevent prostate cancer! I'm on a health
kick, more than usual, these days. We bought a rec center membership,
and I've been getting decent workouts in the lazy river. Two days ago,
I did 1/4 mile upstream, yesterday I did half a mile, and today, 3/4
mile. I can't walk for exercise because my left knee needs surgery. My
right knee got fixed, and now the left one apparently needs surgery too.
It's not like it's terrible pain, but I'm really sick of it.
I'm really sparing with carbs these days, but pomegranates and cherries
get first priority. One should always eat the seeds of pomegranates
because they contain a very beneficial fatty acid. I've asked my wife
to independently research a list of dietary supplements that I plan to
start buying and taking after her pension starts, and we are in a
position to easily afford the costs. The one thing that I do now is
pomegranate seed oil.

A 2023 report by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said that 94
percent of seafood sold in the U.S. in 2018 was imported from abroad,
along with 55 percent of fresh fruit and 32 percent of fresh vegetables.
"Among the notable products imported are various fruits and vegetables
from Mexico; apple juice, tilapia and cod from China; and a small amount
of wheat from both Canada and Europe," said Quoc Le.
Eggs are another story

Why Is There an Egg Shortage Right Now?
The latest report by the Department of Agriculture's Agricultural
Marketing Service, which was published last week, said bird flu
outbreaks—and fires in poultry facilities—resulted in a total loss of
39.9 million egg-laying hens across 12 U.S. states in 2024.
The report added that 43 percent of those losses occurred in the last
two months of the year, with "persistent and significant outbreaks of
highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in commercial table egg layer
flocks through December."

Hawaii has to import things that people don't think of as being
"imported." Things like a can of soup or a box of Kleenex. All that
stuff has to be loaded in containers and shipped 25,000 miles over here.
It's amazing that prices aren't higher. I suppose that Alaska has the
same problem. At least we ain't freezing.

Do these ships take "the long way" around, e.g. around the Horn of
Africa, and then up through the Indian Ocean and over to Hawaii,

two months of the year, with "persistent and significant outbreaks of
highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in commercial table egg layer
flocks through December."

Hawaii has to import things that people don't think of as being
"imported." Things like a can of soup or a box of Kleenex. All that
stuff has to be loaded in containers and shipped 25,000 miles over here.
It's amazing that prices aren't higher. I suppose that Alaska has the
same problem. At least we ain't freezing.

25,000 miles? Do they load it up somewhere in Hawaii and then sail all
the way around the world?
