In part, the food and medical products that American Consumers and patients use in their daily lives. Nearly 40 of finish drugs americans consume today are made elsewhere, and 80 of the active pharmaceuticals in those drugs are manufactured outside our borders. For the food supply, the numbers are equally startling. More than 85 of seafood that is eaten here comes from other countries.
