    I would think that most of us here already boycott CocaCola, and lots of other "food" processors. At least I would hope! I invest a fair amount of time researching all the convolutions of what corporations own what brands in order to make responsible buying choices of the few packaged things that I do buy. My isolated location makes it very challenging to avoid all the big brands. Even many "organic" brands are owned by the big corps. All the more reason to just eat meat and vegetables and keep researching sources for better products that I can get shipped to me. And eat wild meat too, of course.

    and for those of you who think that signing an online petition doesn't work,it does.
    I do loads of it and I am amazed how often I get good news from petitioning.
    We are the consumers and we have the power to change things…even if it's a big ol *kitten* like coke

    Your post made me think of this article on Zero Hedge I saw earlier this week --

    Quite a few food manufacturers on that list and I'm sure many have their organic product lines, as you mentioned.

    Well yes I assume that too, more the reason to sign the petition :)

    I find it amusing that the candy makers also make pet foods.

    What I find sad is that when you mention this fact (or point out the same thing for...well...every other industry), even just as a statement of fact, people start handing you tinfoil hats.
