I was about to buy some asparagus that were labeled as the product of Mexico (hey, protectionism isn't a solitary action). Some employee helpfully left them in the shipping box, which was labeled "Distributed by..." some place in the US of A.

Ugh, I don't think I've seen those yet! As a vegetarian, that's horrifying :(

Is there a reason why you're vego and not vegan? Cows and chickens are abused horribly in the egg/milk industries.

Healthy Choice Power Bowls was the brand.
They have one vegan one, one vegetarian one, and just shy of 20 that contain meat.
