A gift from the American people?!

We were out grocery shopping the other day and we saw this being sold in the store:
Yup, we couldn't believe our eyes either! (The pic is a bit small, but basically it is food aid that the USA sends to 3rd world countries. And it was being SOLD in a gorcery store!)

Pasta really sucks here (not nearly as good as Iranian Tak Pasta!) and we were really tempted to buy it! But luckily our consciouses overruled!

as salamu alaykum sister,

Why did you prevent yourself from buying it? I'm just curious, no intention of offending inshaAllah.

It seemed wrong buying something that the American people had sent over in good faith for poor people.

What would you have done?

MashAllah, that makes a lot of sense. lol

I guess I completely missed the food aid part. I wouldn't have bought it either, of course.
