I have a sister like that - she subscribes to “Real Simple” magazine but she won’t eat the eggs from our neighbor’s hens because...well, you know where those eggs COME OUT OF, don’t you? As opposed to the ones that she eats from the grocery store, which the angels deliver every morning in little silken bags.
