Labels would be better but US producers aren't going to label their products voluntarily are they.

It's a great way to communicate foreign products to other shoppers and remind people that buying local is still important after the news cycle moves on.

It may be somewhat inconvenient for employees but that will financially inconvenience employers and encourage them to discontinue more foreign product lines.

They used to, proudly. But that was months ago.
