I think it speaks loudly that your list contains one item bought at a farmer's market.
We are talking in general terms here, that is true. To point out that Grandma's Raspberry Preserves are pain free does nothing to hurt the root of the argument.
Wait a second... Jam is made with pectin, right? That is made in a factory in Mexico where they work around cancer causing chemicals and are not allowed to take bathroom breaks.
What about the jar your "thought it was guilt free" jam came in? Where was that made, and by whom? Did they have proper health benefits for their kids at that plant?
Oh, now that I'm on a roll: What about the cute little red-and-white checkered cloth covering the lid of the jar to make it look more "Homestyle"? That cloth was woven by an 8-year-old kid named Sanjif in Bangladesh, and everytime he makes a mistake on the loom, the owner of the textile plant punches him in the head. Sanjif doesn't mind though; the 4 cents per day he gets at his job is the highest wage in the village, and he is worried about job security.
You make me sick, you Jam Buying Bastard.
