having a general aversion against national flags, in spite of understanding the concepts of limiting food miles, supporting local economies, etc, I’ve always found any “Buy British” branding highly off putting for its use of the Union Jack. here in #Australia, nationally grown produce is marked with a green triangle with a yellow kangaroo - and I do not feel the same aversion.

so now I have a question for Aussies: am I right in seeing the green/yellow badge as less jingoistic and exclusionary than a national flag would be, or am I just missing those connotations?
