This would be perfectly acceptable if it was for a church youth group or a Christian school, but I would not do this for anything else.[/quote]

Who in the world do you hang out with??  I live in California, among Democrats, and no one would think twice about CFA. People eat what tastes good and are not political about food. [/quote]

I live in DC and would seriously judge someone who catered from CFA. Says a lot about a person. [/quote]

I asked this earlier and didn’t get any responses so asking again. Don’t flame me, I am genuinely curious. CFA’s homophobic founder died 10 years ago. 5 years ago, CFA stopped giving to political/lobbying/religious organizations, including those that were anti-gay and supported conversion therapy. No more politics for CFA. CFA has embraced DEI fully, according to their press releases. So why do people still dislike CFA? Too little, too late? Or because the founder’s son is in charge and therefore there’s too much association with the past? It seems like CFA as a corporation changed the way people wanted them to but something is still missing?[/quote]

I can't even imagine following a company's donations in that much detail. I would just go according to whether I like the food.

I exchange money for goods and services.  If there is something innately objectionable about the good or service, then I may choose to avoid it.  Otherwise, the exchange was made in good faith and the money I gave them is no longer mine to worry about, it’s theirs to do with as they wish.

Does PP investigate the political leanings of every restaurant they go to?  grocery store?  every vendor in the local farmer’s market?  Do they investigate the trucking company’s that brought the food to the store, the fuel company that supplies the gas for those trucks, the farmer who originally grew the food in the first place, the seed suppliers and farm equipment manufacturers?  Somewhere, somebody who disagrees with the PP is almost certainly profiting from every purchase PP makes, whether or not CFA is involved.

Personally, I tend to lean conservative (NOT MAGA).  I like shopping at Penzey’s which very publicly advocates about political issues, generally with a liberal bias.  On some topics we agree, but on others I strongly disagree with their position.  Unless their position somehow affects the actual spice I want to buy, it really doesn’t bother me.  I may sometimes think they’re wrong, but in a free country people and companies are allowed to be wrong.  Moreover, whether I agree or disagree, I respect their commitment to advocate for what they perceive to be in America’s best interest.

Like it or not, we are all one country and our society is complex and inexorably intertwined.  We need to be able to work with each other (even when we disagree) with mutual courtesy and respect.  Personally, I find it helpful to remember that I am fallible, and on any issue where I disagree with someone else, there is the possibility (however remote) that I might be wrong, or at least not the only one who is right (most issues are complex and aren’t that clear cut).
