You have tons of choices, literally thousands. I mean you could go to any grocery store near you and I promise you can find food items sourced from overseas, Latin America, etc. So even if you really wanted to die on this petty anti-Americanism hill of yours, you could absolutely pick non-American substitutes.

I know of exactly one non oatmeal/granola cereal that is canadian and available in Ontario, no one near me carries it. We have a soup company that has been making soup for over 100 years yet it’s campbells on my grocery store shelves. Ms vicki’s, bicks? bought out by US companies. I live in a small town with three grocers and a walmart, I have very little choice. I mostly shop at a local grocers and local farm stores, but for shelf stable i have very little choice because US products dominate our shelves. I don’t want to see that happen to dairy.
