Time for a global embargo against the evil empire. Consumers can do it if cowardly governments continue to refuse to.

      Every little helps. Perfect is the enemy of good and all.

      Also there’s a lot of food that’s not necessarily grown or manufactured in the US but still goes into the pockets of American companies such as Mondelez, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Mars, Heinz, Kellogg’s etc.

      People don’t just buy food.

      I’ve eliminated more or less all US products and suppliers from my life; that was almost zero change to my food or drink purchases (I never did drink stuff like Coke.) But it has meant things like changing toothpaste, laundry conditioner, shower gel…

      Probably food manufactured by US owned companies mainly. Although there was somewhat of an uptick in the sale of US beef several years ago, but I imagine prices would have ended that regardless of any boycot.

      Alan a lot of brands that are thought of as traditionally European have American ownership.

      They’ve spread their tentacles far and wide.
