You should be boycotting these companies already because they support extreme right politics by their ALEC membership:

  • FedEx
  • UPS
  • Motorola
  • Anheuser Busch
  • American Express
  • Bose
  • Chevron
  • Marlboro
  • Sony
  • Texaco
  • Boeing (fly on Airbus instead, see how to boycott Boeing)

You should be boycotting Amazon for many reasons.

If you oppose private prisons, then you already boycott these banks:

  • #BankOfAmerica (#BofA)
  • #FifthThird
  • #JPMorgan #Chase
  • #PNC Bank
  • #Suntrust
  • #USBank (#USBancorp)
  • #WellsFargo

Don’t think they are out of reach to Europe – many European small banks that you assume are ethical actually outsource their investments to JP Morgan. Also, BofA uses different branding outside the US.

If you like transparency with food labeling, then you endorse labeling of #GMO food, in which case you boycott companies that lobbied against GMO labeling. There are hundreds of companies that fucked us over, but these are the top ten financers of anti-labeling lobby:

  • PepsiCo
  • Nestlé
  • General Mills
  • Coca-Cola
  • ConAgra
  • Campbell Soup
  • The Hershey Company
  • J.M. Smucker
  • Kellogg
  • Mondelez

Some of those mushroom into many brands. See the attached infographic.

    So your suggestion is “If you can’t buy it, just steal it bro”

    Of course. You’re not grasping the point of boycotts and how they work. It doesn’t matter what you consume. It matters what you buy; and who you feed profit to (including data). Stealing Twix is even more effective than avoiding it because not only do you deny them your business, you also cost them.

    As for the brands, you have absolutely NO IDEA just how deeply rooted all of these brands are.

    Make all the excuses you want for lack of discipline. For me it’s worthless. You’re just inspiring other pushovers who don’t have enough self-control to give up their Apple Jacks.

    buying milk that looks like a local brand but secretly it’s owned by one of the ones listed.

    Claiming that it’s okay to do nothing because you don’t have full transparency on all products… not sure who that excuse fools. You have the infographic that gives enough coverage to be able to make the most ethical decisions most of the time.

    And if I have a chocolate craving, I just buy from Lidl’s homebrand chocolate or Kinder Chocolate if I really want it.

    So you are okay with Lidl’s ties to Israel? That when customers boycotted Israeli produce (often grown on Palestine land), Lidl falsified the source as a different origin… you okay w/that?
