I have bit insider info
some years ago job office instead of approving college education even though I was qualified for it . They arranged for me to free bee work at a new opened in town here . It was fish seafood , vegetarian and vegan
It was run by a classical trained chef patron and many were carnivores there . But some vegans around and they were quite different . But it was many there just for show also and nothing more than that.
What they strived for was to get more local products and short travelled items . That took time and benefit for other places also . Like seeing a huge bouquet of cale used also it was not used by many.
And some of saddest was reading the books some of them wrote , about rural life separated from cities and such. But most sad reading inventory notes where items had come from .
Peru, Chile , Bolivia , China , India of so called superfood which left original countries left with less of it and higher prices for them .
In fact using or exploit of other countries agriculture , thinning that out instead of making items one self to have an abundance self .
So one can ju set see how a lot of the so called ethical ones is fact is a neo colonial force, worse than the conquistadors was .
