Trader Joe’s sourcing is no different than any other grocery chain. They all use 3rd parties to source their products and go through all the same distribution chains.

Yeah but I like the product and experience better than the typical grocery store

Yeah I did too. But once you see how distributors treat food as commodity it’s hard to unsee.

Is food not a commodity?

yeah I phrased it wrong. What i mean is how they treat it in distribution, storage etc...

A lot of Trader Joe's food is made by the giant corp brands that are present in other stores just under a different label. Trader Joes is just really good at marketing and making it seem like everything is healthier.

Oh gotcha
