Choose Local Over Corporations You think you’re supporting a wholesome little health brand. Turns out you’re funding the same corporate giants you’re trying to escape. Annie’s belongs to General Mills. Applegate to Hormel. Clif Bar to Mondelēz. Etc. Cute farms on the packaging. Billion-dollar corporations collecting the profits. Some of these giants face serious questions about plastic waste, labor practices and industrial food production. And we’re supposed to trust the little green leaf on the box? I personally prefer supporting local farmers, building permaculture land [@maestrovalley](https://www.instagram.com/maestrovalley/) off grid, independent businesses and making simple food at home. Every dollar funds something. Know who’s collecting yours.
