Reporting back on the ground pork from Trader Joe's:
INGREDIENTS: pork
It was $5 for a 1 pound package, cheaper than the only other choice at Whole Foods. So cheaper, slightly more convenient, and not Amazon owned.
So we have a winner.

Gellan gum is a thickening agent (no surprises there) discovered by Merck 🙄 that is used in some vegan foods
Ok that's all well & good but I ask you..
Why are you putting it in CREAM??
Is it just barely past "milk" that you're adding thickeners to to pass it off as "whipping cream"?
Because if this additive were to make the product better, you better believe they'd be marketing the shit out of it.
Keep vigilant on what they're changing in our food
Ground pork:
Again, there should be nothing else but pork. Otherwise it's "sausage", yeah?
EHHHHH
They all have "natural flavorings". The only one I found with just pork was at Whole Foods. (Maybe Trader Joe's, I'll report back later.)

Just when you thought that buying straight single ingredients was safe...
Organic whipping cream:
Ingredients SHOULD be just one ingredient. Cream, right?
EHHHHH
They all have "gellan gum" now, whatever the fuck that is. (I'll report back on my findings)
If you can, buy local. Your grocery store should carry at least one.

SIDENOTE:
If you are shopping for extracts for your holiday goodies and are shocked by the in-store prices...
Example (and this is the norm):
Reg: $6.79 for ONE oz
Sale: $4.79
(Safeway)
You can order from the devil (Amazon) instead:
Reg: $4.34 for TWO oz
Sometimes the devil wins out for the sake of holiday goodies.
It's all in making informed decisions. And it's pretty privileged to expect people to boycott and pay double. Just sayin.
So let me get this straight...
TSA will let me carry this onboard a plane (it's less than 3 oz!!)...
But Amazon won't deliver it to one of their lockers???
when I asked for a cold grande cup or the venti cup she just dumped but it was in the trash.
😳
Then she grabs a grande cup and puts ice in it as she asks me if I want ice.
...
No. Just the cup.
I have arguable the most simple order.
Smells weird. Dunno what roast this is but I think it's just coffee not espresso.
*SIGH*
Barely any money and a weird roast in my daughter's peppermint mocha too.
Refunds will happen.
Note to self: Don't order from Sbux inside Fred Meyer again.
I ordered a quad.
I walk up and it's in a venti with ice.
They were confused that I wanted 4 shots of espresso in a teeny hot cup where it belongs. Much conversation (friendly but still wtf?)
*cocks head*
Normally when they fuck up they'll ask you if you want it anyway instead of tossing it but she grabbed it *so fast* and dumped it.
Then...

Just passed a bus stop in town.
There was a person waiting...
And SIX CHICKENS!
🤣🐔🤣🐔🤣
*actual literal chickens not some cosplay thing
Hey Julie, how far out in the boonies do you live?
Even the chickens take the bus.
Oh FSS
I've been saying how Target has been on top of the whole curbside pickup since the beginning of the pandemic.
Now the screen that has the code on it is an ad.
🤬
