how i see this post

At a certain level of awareness of how industrialization and globalized capitalism work, seeing the words hand-made, hand-packed, hand-picked, or hand-spun on a commercially available product inspires dread and anger rather than warm and fuzzy feelings of sustainable local commerce.

For a mundane example, I just ate some pickles out of a jar that boasted of being "hand-packed". My grandfather worked at a mechanized pickle cannery back in the fifties! We've had the automation of canning and jarring pretty much squared away for a hundred years or more. You're either lying about this being hand packed or somebody has an awful job!

It's not that industrial agriculture doesn't come with it's own horrors but why would fruit being "hand-picked" make me anything but furious. Somebody got paid fuck all to do backbreaking work, you can't make this feel homey and personable.
