hehe, I think that is a pretty good thought....and I believe you are
absolutely right. Nowadays we have such a net of companies, interwoven with
each other and one another, it is hard to say "I buy Fruitloops, cause they
are against using animal in research but I won't buy Cheerios cause they are
all for it" and in reality the Kelloggs company and Nestle in the long-run
is owned by one and the same company. My boss (Prof. of the dept. for
Production and Logistics) does research for a margarine factory...and
wouldn't you know it....almost all brands of margarine (even though
different companies) belong to one and the same company which is on top of
that net, which also owns degergent factories and other factories, who's
product are even known in the States...(I think one of them is
Johnson&Johnson), it's really interesting. So if you boycott Disney by not
going to Disneyland.....you might support it by buying Pampers (who knows).
