I was just thinking the same! Chidi and his almond milk 😁

My strawberries taste sweeter knowing they are picked by migrant children.

What on earth, OP, is that a parody post? Or are you only eating wild seeds gathered in your backyard and if so, why are you impressing native squirrels?

NP. Of course it’s parody or tongue in cheek.

I use a keurig. Not through snobbery but sheer convenience.

Clearly not snobbery b.c that thing makes gross coffee.

The real crime here is the PP who does like avocados.

Fast food tomatoes (Florida grown) are grown and picked in horrible labor conditions https://www.hofstra.edu/pdf/academics/colleges/hclas/cld/cld-rlr-sp14-tomatoes-poulos.pdf

(I drink a ton of dairy. Even though I buy locally and ethically sourced meat, the dairy industry is hopelessly intermingled with factory farmed beef, which aside from the cruelty to animals aspect is also a huge contributor to antibiotic resistance.)

What said that?

I like the weird feeling it leaves on my tongue!

Remember, growing food IS an act of rebellion. Plant something. Grow some lettuce in containers. You be surprised what a massive yield you get just out of a couple small containers. Rebel in every aspect of your life against this unnatural, oppressive system we live in.

I only buy fruit and veggies from US, Mexico and Canada. The exception being bananas, it sure where they come from.

Almond milk is a crime.

That’s now how a drought works.

Thank you for asking -- I've seen it kicking around the internet and never really dug into the citation before. I can't find a direct initial source, but I think this blog post: https://www.theparachutemedia.com/politics-activism/no-ethical-consumption-under-capitalism-shopping-habits-coralyn-maguigad and this Reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/3gh73r/where_does_there_is_no_such_thing_as_ethical/ are interesting takes (although of course not exactly quality academic sources lol). I definitely am unconvinced that there's ethical consumption under communism in the forms it currently functions in the world too.

My BIL sends us our favorite foie gras from France, our home country: the good mi-cuit, much tastier than anything you can find here.

food growing is also patriotic. People had victory garden during WWII and they accounted for 1/3 of the fresh food eaten in the US. Grow a victory garden!
