Don't understand if they can give discounts to veterans they can give a discount to people who have a card for snap. Just frame it as a discount on total bill not a per item discount. Fuck the USDA.

    Some friends own a farm in Pennsylvania. They will tell you their food is "grown organically" but they can't say it's "organic" because that is an official certification endowed by the USDA. To be "organic" many requirements must be met (which they do), the last of which is to pay a hefty fee to the USDA (which they don't). The way they phrased it, the fee is so high they can't afford it.

    So all their food is organic in every way except the name. It would be illegal for them to even say it's organic aloud.

    In case there was any uncertainty that organic food is a scam, it is! The extra markup you pay goes straight to The Man. Fuck the USDA!
