      most people that live in the imperial core also eat locally farmed food. vegans usually have to use substitutes and sometimes those substitutes rely on food grown in the global south bc it tastes better or some shit

        What proof do you have that most people eat food grown locally? Unless you eat a diet deliberately designed to take advantage of local food sources (which most people don't, most people just buy what they can afford) you almost certainly eat food grown by exploited labour in other parts of the world. On top of that if you live in the imperial core and your food is grown locally it is grown on stolen land and probably grown in an unsustainable and ecologically destructive way.

          the us is 50% farmland. this gallup poll https://news.gallup.com/poll/240515/americans-try-eat-locally-grown-foods.aspx says that most Americans eat foods grown locally. most of the shit they eat comes from farms not that far from where they live

          On top of that if you live in the imperial core and your food is grown locally it is grown on stolen land and probably grown in an unsustainable and ecologically destructive way.

          you're not wrong...?
