Yeah, I haven't made that move yet, but I probably should.
Not so much of a boycott, but whenever I have enough information to actually make a decision (labeling isn't great on most products), I avoid anything that isn't free-range/free-trade/child labor free/hippie approved.
Welch's was founded by Thomas Bramwell Welch and sold to a grape co-op in the 1950s.
But you know what, fuck it. I'm all in on the Welch's boycott.
I "boycotted" the Boy Scouts of America a couple years back, sending back my Eagle Scout award (there was at least one thread about scouts sending back badges).
Since then, not really. I make active choices about the products I'm buying and try to be as socially conscious as I can reasonably afford to be. That's about as far as I go, though.
The thread about the BSA and badges was a clusterfuck, but here was my post about it then - http://www.ogboards.com/forums/show...turning-Awards?p=806254&viewfull=1#post806254
I should add that they have since mailed me back my badge with a form letter attached about how much it meant to hear from members, and a link to their press release about their change in policy. Some boycotts/movements do matter, no matter how small.
I don't eat veal. Does that count?
What'd they do?
Pat's over Geno's, mostly because it's a way better cheesesteak, and less because the owner is an admitted xenophobic racist.
I had a cheesesteak in the Italian Market (Lorenzo's?) and I had to laugh because they have taken a clear shot at Pat's having their 'please and order and pay at the counter' signs in 20+ languages.
