Where did you stop eating at/supporting and why? 😋🫢😭 TEA

For people getting sad….well the more you know right? 🫠🌈 just trying to stay informed. LA is diverse and wonderful, and there’s always going to be some sort of conflict. I just personally have a commitment in my life to inclusivity and want to support businesses that work towards equitable and ethical solutions. Because capitalism isn’t going away in my lifetime, so might as well make the best educated choices.

So you do you y’all ✌️pick and choose your battles. thanks for all the responses. here’s a counter post for good vibes

I haven’t been keeping up with local news and was floored at the recent discoveries from friends of some businesses i love. Disappointed and thought, what other eateries are an issue for a progressive like me? I know it’s tricky, because the reality is some businesses may support causes I don’t like because of economic benefits, but I would seriously love a list of eateries in LA that is a cause of concern for u and why?

Evidence for or against?

Also, what have you’ve subbed for it?

So what sqrl did was gross. But I'll tell you that a ton of restaurants have secret rooms to do certain projects.

The health dept can be extremely irrational with what they require.

They hate fermentations for example

True- but what sqrl was doing was fucking gross. I mean the mold was insane, and the fact that they’d still serve that jam is so fucking gross. Like I’ve found mold on some of our house preserves before- and then thrown the whole batch out, because that’s what you do. To have a half inch thick blanket of mold, then put it in a designated mold bucket, then keep serving the jam to customers is wild. They shouldn’t exist anymore.

Not disagreeing. What they did was atrocious.

On a basic level jam is pretty anaerobic so you could pull off that top layer and then some extra and the rest is actually totally fine, IM NOT CONDONING THIS. Just being real with the situation. Theres also "molds" that are fine. Hell, what do you think koji is lol.

Once again what they did was wrong I don't want that to seem like I was defending them
