Well said. I think the major problem here is not that PhatBeets is being out-competed by a more well funded company. The problem is that there is enough food in the world to feed everyone in the world and more, but because of economic inequality there are many people who cannot afford to put enough food on the table for them or their kids. It's not Imperfect Produce's fault that the world is so fucked up, and I love the mission of PhatBeet's. My take away is that if I was in PhatBeet's shoes I would be incredibly frustrated and would feel very powerless and might make a blog post with similar hyperbolic language lashing out at the easiest target I could find in a desperate effort to save everything I had been working so hard on for so long by any means necessary. If I were in Imperfect Produce's shoes I would feel like this ire has been misdirected at me when the real problem lies with extremely complex and difficult problems which exist in general in our society.
