    instead of the neighborhood analogy you could go with the Forest Analogy: You can call a forest a Conifer forest or a Rain forest. It depends on the presence of conifers, or rain, but both are forests.

    I think I'll promote your services to my local farms and ranches in around Surfside, WA to Chinook, WA.
    We have small independent goat and duck/goose ranches.
    But the main export is cranberries.

    Unfortunately local chicken eggs use big-ag corn/soy feed bags (glyphosate-rich) and restaurant scraps (processed food), and keep them fenced in a small area that is just a dirt patch with no vegetation or bugs. Ask them if you can see the feed bag ingrediants. Your best deal from stores is organic fed eggs. Not ideal ,but ideal just doesn't exist in modern day food.

    It is fairly well known, but the whole fat=bad trend started after research looked at Fat consumption, after margarine was introduced and very popular. The issues they discovered did exist, but where caused by consuming fake butter

    I wish I had caught this! I am a small local farmer and I would have loved to help answer questions in the chat. I only sell locally to people who come to me, not to stores. There's some nuanced answers to some questions ofc and it helps to try to explain that to curious customers. One thiing that stood out to me while reading the chat was a lot of questions about raising bugs for them, it would be really hard to farm the quantity of bugs to feed chickens. I do breed bugs in a walk-in closet inside as part of my reptile hobby so I dabble in several different worlds here. The answer to a lot of things is it's not realistically feasible. Wild bugs breeding can't really keep up fast enough to replenish a large flock of chickens appetite.

    Vital Farms is NOT worth the money any longer. Even their unsalted butter has been ruined by manufacturing. What was simply heavy cream now includes cultures – and immediate inflammation.
    Profits over people, always.
    Pathetic.
