Because the CEO is a piece of shit who trashes up the environment and the company sells unsustainable products like red ceder lumber, not to mention they sell cruel products like glue traps which are banned in many other 1st world countries. Then there's the fact that they frequently build new property on rural land, contributing to urban sprawl. As an environmentalist and animal rights activist I despise Menards and its CEO. |

It's just that as a vegan I generally don't eat dairy products and I have a particular dislike for cheese since it tends to make me constipated. Also, it's worth noting that the majority of pizza chains in the US use palm oil in at least some of their products, which is another major reason why I'm against them. |

Gotta say I agree with you about cheese. I ate a hunk of fresh mozzarella recently and it felt like my colon was going to blow out with how much I was struggling to shit. |

I think the lack of animal protein is making you cranky... |

To actually answer the question of this thread, I mostly avoid buying organic food. It's more expensive, worse quality and the advantages people bring up versus non-organic are often false.

I avoid DVD's as hard as i can. If a movie only exists on DVD I would maybe buy it. It's not a business, but I don't really like DVD's.

If you want to start a shartstorm, GMO's are a good thing too. Otherwise you calling Gregor Mendel an arsehole.

Yeah I agree. When did people stop believing proofs? People who believe non-organic and GMO food is bad should take a seat and actually do some research. |

I am going to add Subway to my list as well.  That's one I've been meaning to mention for years now. I hate Subway. That advertisement Cobretti posted reminded me to add Subway to my blacklist. Why? Because they don't have any vegan offerings. There's no reason why they shouldn't be offering vegemite Subs by now. Why shouldn't sandwich shops offer vegemite in footlong format? It makes no sense. Honestly, I've been neglecting this thread. Although, if I were to compile a list of every restaurant chain I boycott, it would quickly become exhaustive. |

Can’t you just get a sandwich with a bunch of veggies on it? |

Besides, I have to have more calories than that, otherwise it's just going to be nothing but fiber. I'm not overweight so I'm not on a diet. |
