I also get to avoid slave labor in the supply chain, so...

Where the fuck do you think people buy tomatos?

Lots of stuff on your grocery store shelves was made by slaves hidden away in some other country that either doesn't have the laws or doesn't have the ability to enforce them. Do you like chocolate or coffee?

Sure, for some produce that is true, I am aware. But tomatoes? At least where I'm from they are either local or come from other EU countries (Spain, The Netherlands usually).

You don't buy them from your local supermarket that has a live feed of the tomato slaves out in the fields toiling away? My favorite part is the button they added that lets you auto-whip them on command.

Weird-looking tomato almost made it into my aesthetically perfect life? That's 3 button presses.
