New At least things are labeled nowadays.
I remember my Mom buying things at a butcher in NYC that were barely or totally unlabeled. No description of what it was or what was in it. You just had to know yourself not to mention know the butcher too.

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."

-- Isaac Asimov

New Over at the famous "Farmer's Market" near Fairfax . . .
. . many years ago. It wasn't anything like what we call a "farmers market" today. It was in a heavily Jewish district, and very, very New York.

Say you wanted oranges. There was a booth with a display of really nice oranges. No way were you allowed to touch those oranges. You told the merchant how many you wanted, and he'd pick them out of a box behind the display, and hand them to you in a closed bag.

I think if anyone tried that today, he'd get his display turned over, with him on the underside.
