buying local for many reasons, but I just don't know how I could do the same with supermarket items and other things we need. Things like school uniforms, text books, backpacks, and so many groceries have their origins in China. Maybe it's less so in Canada, but I truly don't think in Australia it would be possible to avoid altogether buying Chinese items. The obvious toys & clothing would be possible (we also have old mobile phones, and our kids don't have all the latest gadgetry & toys), but there's just so much with parts or ingredients from China.
