      Thank you!

      As a Canadian, I have no problem supporting our EU friends.

      And to be honest, just looking at the list you can tell that the ethics within those companies are completely different than what you find with the American alternatives.

      Even without a dictator leading the States, buying European would still be better. 🤭

      Pretty wild, actually!

        In South Africa, the law determines that if something’s labeled “Product of South Africa” it can’t have any imported ingredients (tho the packaging can be imported).

        “Produced in South Africa” can have imported ingredients - and I’ve been boycotting almost all of that because of the omnicidal carbon footprint of importing things. It’s easier in this country to live ethically tho because we can grow almost everything we need: from food to textiles; tho our energy production is some of the most unethical in the world.
