Quote Sal Paradise="Sal Paradise"So I take that all those who have boycotted Starbucks will also be binning their Apple products - Apple's ability to siphon money off into tax havens is legendary and makes Starbucks looks like a kid with his pocket money.'"
I'm not personally boycotting Starbucks because, as mentioned earlier, apart from Nero when in Manchester, I don't use any of the coffee chains.
It would be somewhat difficult to boycott Apple, since it's the standard for my industry – in the majority of places where I have worked, Apple computers are what they/we work on.
I do boycott Israeli produce and have, for some years, also boycotted any vegetables from Zimbabwe, although that's now simply slipped into a pattern of buying fruit and veg seasonally, apart from the few things that we never have in the UK (chocolate, coffee, tea – yes, I know there's now one estate in the UK growing tea, in Cornwall
, and citrus).
So, in many ways, less a boycotting policy and more a buy British policy for as many things as possible – certainly for fresh food and, in that case, as much as possible from independent producers.
