I don't know about that. Don't they hurt?

Not really. They definitely don't hurt if you're adult enough to ride a Harley...

Cool, I bet I'll have no regerts either.

 

[YMZ PE]

That’s a great idea for a tattoo! “No regerts”

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

There's a TV ad here in NZ with "no regerts"...

 

[matt267 PE]

He got that tat from the chick eating a milkyway.

Currently watching Rotten - Netflix original miniseries about the food supply system in general and the large scale fraud/corruption in the industry (garlic?? never would've thought).  Pretty good, if disturbing, stuff.

So what you're saying is I should pay the extra buck for the "organic" garlic?

 

[Ramnares P.E.]

Well the problem seems to be most prevalent with the peeled garlic available.  The non-American peeled garlic is supplied from China (shipped through other Asian countries to dodge taxes) and the documentary found that Chinese forced-prison labor was being used to peel garlic.  The prisoners were peeling so much (20kg a day if I recall correctly) that their finger nails were worn through so they used their teeth to bite the garlic "root" off.

So yeah...local, organic garlic or at least non-peeled.

Just grow your own. It's dirt simple and it is so much better than store bought. It also lasts much longer as well.

Gross!

Ble - garlic is on my 2018 garden to-do list, since I probably go through at least one Chinese prisoners'-worth annually.

 

[Road Guy]

or at least it should be US prisoners peeling them?

 

[leggo PE]

Woah, that's surprising to me. Though I don't buy peeled garlic. Is that the stuff that comes in jars and is already minced?

 

[kevo_55]

^^ I think so.

I don't buy the stuff either.

Still, I think there is some reverse Chinese labor thing going on at my house. I always need to peel it.

They have big jars that are just the cloves, unminced.

Ah, gotcha. I peel my own garlic always. Will have to pay closer attention to whether I'm buying the organic stuff or not.

 

[Dleg]

The minced stuff in the jars is awesome. Maybe it's the Chinese fingernails.

Agreed. Minimal effort required aside from opening the jar. :thumbs:

 

[Road Guy]

what about the stuff that is already spread along frozen garlic toast?

 

[FLBuff PE]

^See this comment from above regarding that.

Maybe it's the Chinese fingernails.

 

[Road Guy]

still probably a safer bet than anything organic though
