Grocery store by me rearranged the store so that it was organized by country, instead of by type of product. Now there's 4 individual locations to pick a bag of beans from because the red kidney beans from Iraq are sooooo muuuuuch different than the red kidney beans from costa rica.

I think that's kinda neat actually. Like it sounds annoying, but as far as gimicks go it's not the worst

Maybe stores that care about shopping locally should stock all the local products near the entrance, the interstate products beyond that, and the imported products right at the back. Encourage supporting local growers and producers, reducing transport carbon emissions, and make it real easy for the consumer to recognuze the difference
