Can’t remember the last time I used canned beans. Dried ones are cheaper and wayyy better.

Not criticizing those who do. We don’t have kids so have more time to plan meals and such.

I can’t really boycott their products since I don’t use them. But won’t start.

Now, I have to experiment with replacements.
There'll be something else really good & convenient.

Almost uniformly, for alternatives to the products Goya sells, national brands provide the best alternatives.

I'm a black-bean and rice lover. Onions, garlic, peppers.

Now it's going to be a goya-free meal!

Jersey City, New Jersey. Hate to go after it, but the family that own it need to dump the Trump loving idiot that is leading it.

But they transact business internationally just like other US-based companies the right likes to claim of being "globalists."

are Eden Foods (the best) and Progresso. Eden has a lot of Hispanic themed offerings, in addition to canned beans. Spices can be purchased from Barda, or you can go into a true Hispanic grocer (an interesting experience for anyone who has not done so, lots of variety and often hot, to go food offerings).

Goya is a New Jersey family owned company (Eden is a coop and Barda is family owned). Maybe some pressure on Goya will force the family to dump that Trump loving idiot from leadership.
