"We are digital marketing experts" was where it rang alarm bells for me. They may be experienced in delivery but have no clue about how to run a business. I would say I am now an expert after 8 years in a high intensity agency and have done a number of qualifications in business theory and then helping clients with business strategy.

They wanna help the planet and people’s health…then proceed to charge $12 for a small ahh loaf. Many people, specifically the US, who have health issues like diabetes and whatnot, are in low income households.
