Been seeing these signs everywhere. Damned vegetarians and their whole agenda. I prefer full-fat, myself.
Are you sure that is what Shop Local means?
To me it means try to support the shops in and near your town. Especially if it is a small business owner. I try to buy local and then buy a lot through Amazon too, so I guess I fail, but I do try to support my local small businesses.
Same here, and you can shop Amazon and also shop small business, many local bookstore are selling their stuff thru Amazon.
Localvore means buying local foods, which can certainly include meats, but generally not processed foods.
What does that have to do with shopping local? Shopping local means shopping local merchants instead of the big chain stores. In my case, Target is local and so is Best Buy though.
I get most of the meat I eat through the local farmer’s markets. I know the farmers, I trust their pork, chicken, and even their potatoes. That keeps the farmer’s babies in shoes and the heat on in their homes and my tummy full of delicious bacon that’s much meatier than the stuff at the supermarket.
Me thinks OP was trying to make a funny… shop lo cal… as in “low calorie”. Or did I get whooshed?
It’s a joke, son. . .you’re supposed to laugh.
Ding!
So it was me who was whooshed. I’m having a literal day. 
Well, as threads go, this is about as meaningless as it gets. I test drove lo-cal v local on my wife and got a loud groan, so I thought I’d trot it out here.
I got it! I are SMRT!!! 
And for our family gift exchange, we’re not just shopping local - we’re shopping at thrift stores - supporting local charities. It’s likely to be more interesting than the white elephant exchange we did last time.
I got it right away. I figured you were all bein’ whooshed, especially since an actual chef guy isn’t likely to be clueless about purchasing locally grown foods.
I’m guessing PETA was not amused.
People aren’t vegetarians because of caloric content.
Yeah, as a vegetarian who avoids diet or ‘skinny’ products, I was pretty confused by that. The two have nothing to do with each other.
The “joke” misses the mark in several ways, IMO. Bad relation between the premise and the punchline, punching down, trying to exploit an oral mispronunciation in text, etc.
And then the Humorless Society walked in. . .
…to a bar?
Why should I shop in Lower California?
Yes, because pointing out why a joke misses the mark is the same as having no humor, because jokes and humor are magical and can’t be understood in any way, so analyzing them is pointless.
For one thing, it never rains there.
