There are hundreds of different spices of truffles. Only about 10 have culinary value and they vary in favor and intensity. However, Stahl reported that Chinese truffles were not tasted as desirable because of the way they were farmed, based on the words from the lady whose business was apparently affected by the imports of truffles. If I can't find good journalism from 60 minutes, where should I look for? I thought Americans would know better about where there is a demand, there is a supply.
I think it is just different types of plants. It is not necessary to downgrade the product of another country. Probably they are have different names as well. FDA just need to requires manufacturers to use the exact name. Some people like raccoon; others like panda.
I agree with the police. There are more important things to worry about. Between the only two ladies featured here, for example, the escalation of face painting should be stopped. Is this escapism to provide us foundering Americans with glimpses of wealthy foreigners or simply elder reporters enjoying some expensive junkets? Standing by for journalism...
The article on truffles was interesting and factual..until the reporter brought up up of all things, 'climate change'. She knows that 'climate change' affected the growth of truffles? She knows this because...? The integrity of your reporting just took another hit. If you want credibility, please stick to facts.
For something to be considered a "Product of France", it has to be grown there. Packaging is not enough to change the country of origin under the U.S. marking laws. It would have to undergo a "substantial transformation." Putting something in a can is not substantial transormation.

Why is it, the more money one has to waste, the more stupidity is used to decide where it goes?
