Eia kekahi, ua lilo nā manaʻoʻiʻo o ka male i mea pono no ka hoʻololi. ʻO ka pahuhopu o ItalFresh e hoʻopau i nā stereotypes e pili ana i nā Rastafarians a me nā vegans.
"ʻAʻole maopopo ka poʻe ʻo Rastafari kahi manaʻo hohonu a me ka politika. Aia kekahi manaʻo hoʻohālikelike ʻo ka rasta ka nui o ka palaualelo e puhi ana i ka mariuana a me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā dreadlocks, "wahi a Dan. ʻO Rasta kahi kūlana noʻonoʻo. Pono ʻo ItalFresh e wāwahi i kēia mau manaʻo e pili ana i ka neʻe ʻana o Rathafarian, a me ka ʻōnaehana meaʻai. Ua ʻike ʻia ʻo Aital he mau mea kanu ʻai maʻamau i loko o ka ipuhao me ka paʻakai ʻole a me ka ʻono.
