I claim that buying local, except for food that is sourced from local farms, is buying from the same billionaires.
And unless you personally investigate the supply chain of the local grocery store, you can’t be sure that local tomato is actually local or just labeled that by a distributor to make the sale.
I’ve gone to farmer market stands and asked them which local farm they got their cantaloupe from and the person selling said they didn’t know.
I’ve purchased a lot of things that were made by the people I was buying from. If you’re distrusting of who you’re buying from, then that’s that. Even if you are buying a product made by a corporation, at least you’d be buying from a local shop, owned by someone who lives in your town, versus buying something made by a corporation at a store owned by a corporation. I’m just saying, do your best to limit how much you cross paths with corporations. It doesn’t have to be perfect to still be good.
