Same thing here. All it took was watching Supersize Me (almost 2 yrs ago) and I was off McDonalds, Wendys, BK, KFC, Taco Bell, etc.

Lori - if you can handle it, read "Fast Food Nation." It goes even further!! It will change the way you eat in your own home, as well.

eta - Another Tom Cruise movie/fur boycotter here!

Anyplace that scams me or anyone I know.

All Perfumes until they stop making them w/ out ingredients that can make people ill.

Target is going on my list too...which stinks because they are so convenient. That are really horrible to their employees though. Could have been just the one store though.


Another Tom Cruise boycott here...and mel gibson too.

Re: Do You Boycott Anything?

Tom Cruise movies since I believe he is a hypocrite and a liar about his sexuality.

Edited to say: I always post first and read later- SO glad I am not the only one.

You can order a salad in all those places. You don't have to eat a supersized burger and fries

I just don't eat canned tuna fish because of mercury.

In terms of boycotting companies, I don't. They are all doing the same thing. So why pick one vs another?

Re: Do You Boycott Anything?

I try not to use products tested on animals. I also stopped shopping at abercrombie after their racist t shirts and their risque child undies.



ETA: I don't wear anything with fur

Re: Do You Boycott Anything?

Pepsi - I don't like soda that much anyway - but I boycott Pepsi and it's products (when I know it's one of their products).

They sell to Israel now, but back in the 80's, they wouldn't sell to Israel because the Arab countries all said - if you sell to Israel, you can't sell to us - so they went with the Arab countries.

Hmm, like jcrew for example? What did they do, besides capitalizing on the whole preppy lookChat Icon



they get their fur trim (although sometimes marked as "fuex fur" when its not) from dogs and cats in china

j.cruel



nah, does JCREW really make their fur clothing out of DOG and CAT? I will boycott JCREW in a second if this is true...

The supersize option is no longer available. It's not just about the food. Sure I can order a salad but I won't even order a soda there for so many reasons - especially this one.
I'm leaving it at that b/c I don't want to sound preachy.
