    I have purchased because something was made in USA and because of the specific town it was made in. But I have not boycotted because of a location.

      You need to learn how to distinguish between an attempt at making a “good comeback” and merely stating a fact. Not everything in life is fodder for your late show monologue.

  • Yes, China.  Especially online. 
    It takes forever for stuff to arrive from there, if it does at all.

    Right. My friend who comes from China also told me to  never buy any kind of food that is imported from China.

    Nah. It's all about quality with me. The country of origin doesn't figure into my thought process.

    For decades, I wouldn't buy anything made in Japan because of Pearl Harbor until I realized that was silly. I shall boycott Albania. They don't produce anything I need or want.

    Whole island in the Philippines are being deforested by burning all the trees to plant palm oil trees even though it's illegal .the indigenous people are being killed as are so many species of unique animals ,birds and bugs just to plant cash oil trees...
    Palm oil is also high in saturated fats and it's also used in making bio diesel........
    It accounts for four percent of green house gasses 

    The Oranatangs of Berneo and Sumatra are threatened with extinction...  I could go on and on.....:( 

    Dont buy or use Palm oil.    :(

    I never have...now I never will. Orangutans are my favorite mammals. Much better than people. You will like these.
