"Made In USA"

On the "flip" side, I also noticed the spices and seasoning at a dollr tree said "Made In USA" and quickly picked up some garlic powder, ground cayenne pepper, crushed red pepper, chili powder etc, yeah, I like it spicy.
After reading the labels several times over I began to wonder if the ingredients in them are actually a product of the USA(I've looked high and low for actual USA grown spices/seasonings to no avail, if it doesn't say, you probably don't want to know ; ). The label merely says "distributed by greenbriar int'l" which has absolutely no website, and in searching the web, found numerous horror stories about both.
Even though it says "Made In USA" on the label, they could be selling the label, the bottle, or the mixture, as such, which would definitely be skirting the "truth in labeling" law
During my searches I did find one very unappetizing article @ Spices | MADE IN USA NEWS If you're interested in better spices and seasonings you might want to check it out before buying any random products

Ah man, ...now I gotta start a garden just for spices and herbs now, lol. at least I'll know where they come from then

Exactly, I've been growing my own peppers for years, and drying them over the wood stove, then grinding them up in the blender to a powder, maybe roasting just a bit, and put in a shaker. But I got behind on that, and this past year I didn't hardly have a garden at all.
I did however plant some garlic last fall, which did fairly well, and have it broken up and drying, plus I've got another bunch planted already for next year. You can buy garlic at the grocery store for this, just whatever looks good, break all the cloves apart and plant it 2 or 3 inches deep, root side down. Throw a bunch of grass clippings or old leaves over it for mulch, and next summer have all ya want.
The kind you'll find in the stores are likely a better variety for longer storage, but nurseries will have numerous other types. At least with that you'll know where it grew at
