I want my local dm shop to offer me their product info as copyable markdown, ingredient list, and other health related information. This could be a way to automate it.

Since you didn't say what a "dm shop" is, I'll assume you mean "dungeon master shop" where you buy Dungeons and Dragons-y stuff.
Or maybe it's a "direct marketing shop", where you bring flyers to be delivered into people's mail? Yeah, that must be it.
Given that it's about food or medicine somehow, because of the mention of ingredients lists and health-related information, it's probably https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dm-drogerie_markt (usually abbreviated "dm").
(I didn't know about that either before now.)
He probably means the large German drug store chain called DM.
Why would you want that over a proper API with structured data?

Welcome to a new generation of developers (not by age) who wants unstructured word slop markdown instead of clear jsons. People's brain are turned to a mush because they no longer think in a logical way, that's the LLM's job.

@grok Is this true?
"unstructured word slop markdown"
Where's the issue? In this case there's no difference between a structured markdown and a structured JSON document for an LLM.
What's wrong with a nutrient table in markdown?
If Markdown can be used for LLMs and JSON can be used for LLMs and other purposes too, JSON is better, right?
How does my chatbot use the API if not through MCP?
