Are you boycotting McDonalds, Burger King, and other fast food places

[Pryderi]

for their anti-union practices?

[LeftyMom]

1. If boycotting means I wouldn't eat that shit if you paid me, then yes.

I don't care if that crap gets made by Teamsters getting holiday pay.

[Richard D]

2. I can't boycott them

cause I'd never eat at a fast food place.

[quinnox]

3. I'm going to start getting dizzy of all the places I'm supposed

to be boycotting. Generally I don't consider political reasons in my thinking when I buy stuff. That's just me though.

[Luminous Animal]

5. So, you do nothing to advance the social justice interests of your fellow human beings?

[quinnox]

8. ouch

I wish I was in a position where I could make a big difference, like a millionaire or something but I'm just trying to get by right now. Many of us are struggling in this economy.

I said I don't consider political reasons a major factor in what I might buy. I know this is a minority opinion but that is how I see it and is my philosophy.

19. Just pick your battles and fight where you can.

I think expecting everyone to be able to stand up against EVERYTHING is unrealistic, but it's also not a good idea to stand against nothing.

We boycott Chick-Fil-A for their funding and sponsorship of groups that are virulently opposed to marriage equality, but honestly, we rarely have the extra money or access to a car to get fast food anyway, so "boycotting" fast food joints is easy for us.

Even if you can't boycott every single company that deserves it, pick a couple, make your stand, and don't beat yourself up over it.

4. I just avoid them because they are gross !

[msongs]

6. only eat at places that sell food, not fabricated food substitutes lol nt

[backscatter712]

7. I try to avoid them anyways...

because their hamburgers are composed of sawdust and knuckle meat.

But yeah, this just adds yet another reason to the long list I have for not eating at those places.

[JDPriestly]

9. I'm not boycotting them. I just can't stand their food so I do not eat at them.

[libodem]

10. I like fast food

Yes, I'll start.

[sce56]

11. NoI just plain old never eat at fast foods other than maybe Chipotle

They serve real food raised naturally. I have not had a McDonald's burger since let me see thinking, thinking, hum last century at least not since the mid 90's

I no longer eat food like edible substance as much as possible!

[saras]

12. I guess. Fast food for me involves a cast-iron skillet.

[malaise]

13. We've been boycotting them for decqdes

We refuse to eat shite

[AtomicKitten]

15. I am inadvertently because I never eat there anyway.

I guess I now have another reason not to eat there.

[Sherman A1]

16. Not necessarily

However, I don't normally eat at these fast food places. BK once in a great while and I do have a friend that picks up a cup of coffee at McDonalds for me about once a week. So if they need to survive on my business, they are pretty screwed.

I agree with the sentiments expressed that we need to do what we can to support our fellow union members and with the ones that it's hard to remember all the places we must boycott to do so.

Folks need to do the best they can, get through the day and not feel guilty because they had to shop at a Wal Mart, buy lunch at Mc Donalds or did what they needed to do.

[Scuba]

17. No, I still use their urinals on a regular basis. n/t

[alphafemale]

18. So which pro-union Grocery store do you patronize?

Just Curious,

[kdmorris]

20. Can't really boycott places that I've refused to patronize for years

Haven't been to fast food places except when I'm traveling on business (and even then I can usually find something better than fast food) in years. When I found out I had Diabetes in 2002, I stopped eating at these places and never look back.

However, if I did eat there... I would boycott them for their anti-union practices.

[The Straight Story]

21. Are the folks who run DU in a union? If not, you gonna boycott posting here?

[treestar]

22. No.

I'm trying to stay on a diet.

But I'll say that's why if it will help.
