    Is it Swedish?  Where I live in Southern Ontario, Heinze ketchup used to be made in this area, then a company owned by Warren Buffett bought Heinze and proceeded to close the plant, the plant was saved by a Businessman from Toronto.  But French's stepped in and filled the void vacated by the Heinze closure and they buy Southern Ontario tomato products for there ketchup.

    Just take it for granted that the US will fall behind other countries in all lists that are not "Most slaughtered vietnamese per capita"

    This is why I buy my ketchup from the Mexican grocer, same as my Coca-Cola : made with sugar, not HFCS.

    Better still:

    But, really, if we're using ketchup as the marker for which is the "greatest" country, does it matter?  :lol:

    Interesting article about American capitalism vs European "socialism", with a lot of points that I happen to agree with (it was written by someone whose first language is not English btw, hence the grammatical issues). I think Eudaimonia & Co. is essentially a freelance political editorial publication, possibly based out of Morocco, but I'm not positive, and the author here seems to be a prolific political pundit who currently lives in London.

    How Capitalism Made Americans Poor, and Socialism Made Europeans Rich

    I'll have to read this later, it sounds interesting.  My first reaction to the headlines is, "Yeah, that make's sense."  My second reaction is that if I were a third world person my reaction would be, "Neither of you Americans or Europeans know poor from rich from".

    I would agree.  3rd world countries must look at us westerners and go "REALLY".  Most of us have no clue to the daily struggles of so many.

    Still, people in a country like the US or wherever can fall under the threshold of poverty. 

    UNICEF's list of extreme poverty, why is the US -- if it is THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE UNIVERSE -- on this list?? So in the US kids don't get a proper meal at school, health care isn't seem as a human right AND you are among the countries with the highest level of EXTREME poverty?

    Something isn't adding up with this GREATEST COUNRY thing..

    I don’t know, but I would imagine the Us gets hit because of the health care more than anything else.
