Just a small reminder to those making political hay over this. It's the free market at work. Deal with it.

Exactly.

Basic economics there. It's only really an issue when you have things like chinese truffles being passed off and sold as french truffles, with the price difference there making the big deal. Apparently due to the mafia we are doing this with olive oil all the time.

I laughed when the Feds shut down these foreign websites selling NFL jerseys for $20 and were saying they were defrauding their customers, who thought they were getting official jerseys. Bullshit. People ordering those ordered them because they were getting the same quality product for $20 instead of $80. They knew they were getting knockoffs. They just didn't care.
