On trade Opens a New Window. , the hits Opens a New Window. keep coming.

The White House's plan to impose tariffs€” starting at 5 percent on Monday
and escalating to as much as 25 percent by October €” on all goods imported
from Mexico will throw a serious wrench into the gears of the American
economy.

This move will hike taxes on all Americans

Only those that buy stuff that either comes from
mexico or has components that come from mexico.

Fruit and vegetables. Although I try to avoid Mexican produce,

What's wwrong with Mexican produce?

Cleanliness, although I realize that Arizona and California produce
can be equally bad. In the winter I go for hothouse tomatoes from
Ontario, Canada, if possible.

I may have to start paying attention. I hear some people wash their
fruit!

Not all contaminants can be washed off.

Thursday I bought two pieces of meat from the place I've refused for
years to buy meat from, because they were caught dying the meat red,
plus a container of chicken salad.

Dyeing the meat, or treating it with carbon monoxide?

I ate a little of each, and within an hour of starting, while I still
eating, I had cramps. Can you get food poisoning in less than an hour?

No. Food poisoning takes 12-24 hours to develop.

The chicken salad probably had some ingredient in it that your
digestive system didn't like. It happened to my husband a couple
of months ago.

You spend more than an hour eating? Huh. I generally spend about
20 minutes eating a meal.
