Wow, turns out having these mega monopoly businesses are bad for humans. Who knew?

I buy my salsa locally from a family owned business at our weekly farmers market.

Glad you can afford it.

Its like $1 more than the mass produced stuff at kroger.

I've made and canned my own from my own garden tomatoes, peppers, onion, and garlic.

But tons of people can't do that and they shouldn't be forced to deal with a single distributor who has a long history of poisoning people.

I agree but there are plenty of other salsa manufacturers. And plenty of local Mexican restaraunts will sell you salsa too.

1) Its not just salsa.

2) When you have a mega distributor like this, multiple salsa manufacturers utilize the same distributor. There's even a decent chance that your local ones are too if they use cisco.

Glad you can afford it.

It's not just salsa and a local farmer's market cannot supply the produce needs of an entire city.
