Last trip to the grocery store I couldn't find any non-US salad kits, and Silk NextMilk is made down there now, because I guess our plants were the listeria ones. Chip dip was surprisingly hard to find too, although I did it.

I'm very pleased with how many vegetables actually come from Mexico (definitely via the US though), and there's even a few things you can get from greenhouses, so that situation is less dire than I'd expected.

Very disappointed to hear Silk NextMilk is made in America. Other plant based milks just aren't the same. Have you found a good alternative?

Earth's Own is Canadian and really good.

I buy Earth Own oatmilk but it's just not as good with cereal :(

Have u tried making peanut milk at home? It doesn't take more than 10 min and is incredibly underrated.

NextMilk is a mixture of different plant based milks. Its probably the closest to real milk but I find any brand of original (some sweetener but no extra flavoring e.g. vanilla) oat milk to be close enough that I don't miss cow milk much.

I tried the Good Earth oat-coconut blend. No bones, don't recommend as of now. Honestly if that's the brand I'm going back to just oat.
