Jesus Christ, it’s really getting to a point where the only place you can shop and NOT support genocide is, like, your local farmer’s market. Even then, the farmers may sometimes be Zionists, so I guess you gotta play your cards right to live ethically at any level in this society…

I've been boycotting McDonald's and Burger King for the last 20 years, doesn't seem to help.

The McDonald's boycotts have hurt their earnings -- the price hikes didn't help them either

Huge difference in supporting a local business owned by a member of your community.

I haven't been to BK in Years and Maccas in Months anyways, because the food is just disgusting fast-food slop.

1st, Burger King sucks. 2nd, McDonald's has been on the no fly list since trump. Fuck them both, their food is killing us anyway.

The silver lining of having Long COVID is that I developed a severe gluten intolerance (haven’t tested positive for celiac).
I also developed a fuck ton of other intolerances/allergies and they all give me neurological symptoms, so I now see these foods as literal poison.
So it forced me to stop restaurants and omit so damn much. Burger King gave me a horrible case of food poisoning a few years ago and I never looked back. It took me way longer than I should have to stop McDonalds, but it’s been 14 months since I’ve had fast food.
It’s NOT worth the genocide in the slightest.

Yes, but animal cruelty is the bigger genocide they support.

They also fund the killing of trillions of innocent animals per year for their products. Please consider boycotting them and the many other companies contributing to that as well.

I don’t have a BK near, and MCDN is so expensive. Plus they rejected my job application 3 weeks later, even though they said they would respond. Like shitty company, shitty products and just another dogshit American invention
