It’s not just about consuming organic, local goods only, it’s so complicated. And as consumers we can find it incredibly difficult to navigate our dinner plate down to a simple snack.
The perfect solution is
1. organic
2. local where possible
3. fairly traded if ingredients are imported from Africa, India and other poorer countries
4. Palm oil free
5. Vegan
6. Free from animal testing (but this usually is covered by vegan)
7. Palm oil free
8. Bird friendly (if olives or other tree are involved so the birds aren’t sucked out of the trees during mass production)
9. Free from nasty additives
10. Isn’t an ultra processed food
11. Environmentally friendly (doesn’t harm our waterways, doesn’t pollute the air etc)
Eleven considerations! Complete madness. When 60 years ago, we’d just pick up an apple which was all of those things!
How snacks have changed 😟
But there is hope.
We have companies like these who are always all of the above 11 things.
