A lot of the time, asking local businesses what they can do/order for you helps a lot. Just because they don’t have it doesn’t mean they can’t get it. Some local grocers offer delivery services. If you have the time, seed money and patience, you can grow a lot of food in a small amount of space.

My cat has a special diet, too. I asked if I could use pet food from an independent brand - since it was a food allergy, just a matter of excluding chicken and grain - and the vet said it was fine.

AWS is harder to avoid, but if you have to use a service, there are other companies who will put the effort in to take part of the pie from amazon.

Just feel what you feel without putting a label on it. Honestly, the labeling is annoying. I tell folks I’m a person who’s into the people I like. As long as everyone is happy and consenting it shouldn’t matter what you call it.
