[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I buy according to the quality of the product, not according to the political views of the guy who owns the company. I am sure I have had food cooked or prepared by racists, homophobes, madmen and women of various stripes, libertarians, Catholics, Buddists, misogynists..who cares? If their dedication to the product is right then I will buy.

If they are doing something blatantly unethical like employing child labor that would be one thing, but you cannot choose your brand of prepared pasta on the basis of the CEO's views on gay adoption. It is just ridiculous.[/quote]

If you buy according to the quality of the product, then you wouldn't buy Barilla, because their product is pretty darn crappy for dried pasta. So yay, win/win?

I understand people who want to buy what they want, when they want it, with a clear conscience. But I just can't do that. Those companies have profits, and they do shitty things and donate to shitty "causes" with those profits, that I would otherwise be helping to generate. You're free to buy what you want, but I can't in good faith, knowingly give money to a brand that I know goes what I believe in. [/quote]
