并无日裔人士。

十几年前，本人曾经帮助安排老McCain访华，寻求土豆种植基地，为麦当劳和其他国际著名快餐店在中国就地提供炸薯条原料（一般人未必知道，这些北美快餐店用的薯条大都由McCain提供）。所以，对McCain家族的生意略知一二。

挂旗的事，如果有贵宾来访，也不算稀奇。比如我们曾经拜访一家钢铁企业Maksteel，结果很惊讶，发现人家那天专门郑重其事地升了一面硕大的五星红旗，飘在枫叶旗上面。

但如果是天天都挂膏药旗，真不知是什么意思了。

啰嗦这些，并不是跟您较劲。无他，Maple Leaf Foods的产品家里常有。乍听说是日本人开的，很吃惊。如果确证，那以后就再也不买了，反正别的品牌多得是。
