Reply #111: It's not wheat but wheat gluten [View All]

According to a post upthread, China has the factories to extract the gluten while we do not. And even if we did it would be cheaper to import it from China.

IMHO it comes down to "you get what you pay for". And where the "Free Market" is concerned, we're paying for crap. Of course, the Chinese factory workers and farmers are being taken advantage of too. The only ones who benefit from "free trade" are the corporations who pocket the profits.
