“This spring, Goya donated over 300,000 pounds of food, or about 270,000 meals, to food banks and other organizations as part of its pandemic relief effort. The company said it also donated more 20,000 protective masks. Last month, Goya showed up with thousands of pounds of food for families in the Bronx and Harlem who have been affected by COVID-19. It donated food to a public school in Queens.”

I’m not Latino, but we always buy Goya products and will continue to do so. Especially now.

+1. It's a terrific, socially-conscious company. Plus, the products are really tasty.

+2
We’ve always purchased Goya brand and will continue to do so.

Goya has donated thousands of pounds of food and it employs thousands of POC.

I hate when rich celebrities open their mouths to jeopardize other peoples’ jobs.

It's ok. Apparently Trumpsters are going to buy truckloads of Goya products now, so this will be a net gain for Goya.

Bingo. I will also purchase some for the food pantry. I frequently purchase food to donate, but now I will be sure and purchase Goya.

I plan to continue to do so and will probably make a large purchase later in the week and donate to a food pantry.

Does anyone need a recipe?

Somebody's a little too excited about canned goods. Your exuberance is not going to do Trump any good, and you'll last about as long at this as the average Trumper did fighting Covid.

Well, just for the record I'm a trained chef and I do home cooking, meals and cooking classes for the disadvantaged, kids and the elderly. So yes, I talk to them often about the nutritional value of canned beans, which is a shelf-stable product that is inexpensive and healthy for them to eat.

Only now, I will be firmly endorsing the Goya brand and telling them to look for Goya products, specifically.

Alright, so basically you are going to tell your students that Goya beans are healthier because the CEO likes Trump. Or something like that. Just so they buy the beans that own the liberals. My God, that's dumber than a boycott. And unethical too.

Oh, please. How is that at all “unethical”? The PP has always been a fan of Goya and recommends it. S/he is not an elected official and is not paid for his/her opinion. So what the issue? Oh, right. You’re triggered because Trump. Yawn. Grow up.

kind of ironic that his company donates food to the very people who Trump wants to kick out.

No. I never said that I will tell the participants in my classes that Goya beans are healthier. You made that up or are projecting your own anger here.

What I'll say is that CANNED BEANS (or dried beans) are a healthy, tasty, inexpensive and overall good thing to eat. We're going to work with some today in our class and guess what -- they'll happen to be Goya. When I give out printed recipes in English and Spanish, I will reference Goya brands. When I give samples for people to take home -- which I often purchase with my own money -- they will be Goya. So, it's a little promotion of a product and brand I really like. There is nothing unethical about that. People do it all the time.

People are going to boycott a brand because the CEO said that we are “blessed” to have Trump? Give me a break.

I guarantee you that 80 percent of the “boycotters” will be young white women who probably buy Bush’s beans, or some expensive artisanal beans, anyway.

Hands down, the trumpets rushing off to by Goya Foods is the funniest thread on this forum. Seriously laugh out loud.

And that is 100% your right to do so. Just like it's mine to organize a group to buy out the shelves at as many grocery stores as possible in our town, and donate to the local food drive.

I like this! Next I am going to organize a boycott of Trump-supporting real estate agents so Trumpsters will band together to buy their houses and donate them to the needy. Homelessness crisis solved!

I'm sure someone would love to respond to this but it's not even funny because it makes no sense....

Exactly what I was thinking! It’s too dumb and nonsensical to bother with!

Do what you want. People will buy the less expensive products that aren’t controversial.

Normal people aren’t going to consider a good brand “controversial.” So pathetic that you assume this is what mainstream America cares about.

DP. No, you said "only now" you'll be endorsong Goya. Not because you lile them. Because they like Trump. That's unethical.

Please. Beans are beans. No one can tell the difference in the brands by the way they taste.

If beans are beans, then what's behind the big push for Goya? I prefer the Goya beans myself, but not so much that I will sacrifice my values to continue to purchase them.

Virtue signaling by beans. So righteous!

Kind of sad that you think Trump wants to kick out legal citizens within the Hispanic community.

Yep. Liberal, white SJWs are the only people who boycott anything. Exhausting people.

Because you assume Trump voters don’t eat ethnic foods? Wow, that’s some bubble you’ve insulated yourself in.
