10. Cannot Blame Pellegrino For Who Chooses to Drink Their Beverage
Thu Mar 7, 2019, 10:44 AM

It would not be fair to boycott Pellegrino just because someone you do not like, or with whom you do not agree chooses to drink their beverage. Pellegrino did not endorse the locking up of children, or lock up any children. Companies should not be boycotted just because a particular person likes that company. Also, if we do go down that road will be have anything to drink, eat, wear? What happens if it comes out that Kristen Nielson likes Coco-Cola, or Pepsi? What happens if it comes out that she likes both and occasionally drinks either drink? Do we then stop drinking both drinks? What happens if it comes out that she like pizza, eggs, bread, and/or cheese? Do we stop eating those things. She wore clothes to the event yesterday. Do you stop wearing clothes in order to send a message to clothing producers and clothing stores?
