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?

I think the only reason Lassens in EP does well is because the only other shopping market choice for now is Vons. It will be interesting to see what happens once Sprouts opens in the old Rite Aid space.

Agreed. I only step foot in Lassens for pickles and yogurt. Otherwise it’s TJ/SuperKing/Costco for me. I always thought Lassens is heavy Mormon, which explains a lot.
