Sure, but they're both part of the same larger issue of deceptive labeling practices. Consumers can't make choices without accurate information, whether that has to do with avoiding toxic toys, tainted dog food, clothes made by children, or whether or not to buy into the "Made in Italy" mystique. If you have a bottle of "Italian" olive oil at home, and it says "imported from Italy," read more closely to see where the olives come from. There are really two separate but related issues: whether you care where your bikes are actually made, and whether you care whether the products you buy are labeled accurately as to their origin. In some instances you may care, in some instances you may not. But you have the right to decide that for yourself, ATMO.
