I actively seek this food out because it means the establishment has a commitment to the health of its clients, as well as the earth itself. I find the other restaurant patrons are usually less of a liability to be around. No people of WalMart to ruin my appetite.

You are aware, there are small business owners that still have enough self respect and honor to faithfully adhere to honesty without muh gubmint, right? I personally know several restaurant owners who do buy product within 100 mile radius whenever possible and they don't advertise stuff that was outside that range as locally sourced. Stop thinking everyone operates like a politician or corporation.

All these vanity labelling only shows how out of touch whiteys are with reality. To fulfill these labelling, you have to farm using economically ineffecient and ultimately unsustainable practices.

mason jars aren't themselves a meme. they are very useful and a major brand of glass jar/bottle manufacturer for a reason, and the rounded square shape is a proven safe yet space-efficient and easy to manufacture design.
