I mostly have Weet-bix for breakfast, which you can see in the photo. It’s a wholegrain wheat breakfast cereal and one of the healthiest of the cereals. A similar product is Vita Brits which is also very healthy. Weet-bix was made by Sanitorium and Vita Brits by Uncle Toby’s but the latter has now been sold to Sanitorium too. Vince grew up in a very staunch Catholic family and his mother wouldn’t buy Weet-bix because they were made by Sanitorium, which is a Seventh Day Adventist organisation. In a similar story, Vince’s aunt had had brothers captured by the Japanese during World War II. Years later, her husband bought a Japanese car but she always refused to ride in it. I don’t like buying from Coles if I can help it as I know they treat our farmers very badly, paying as little as possible for milk, meat, vegetables and fruit. Do you boycott any organisations?

I only boycott products made with bad ingredients that are really bad for our body. I will never buy Nutella, palm oil is really bad for us.

I do not boycott organizations, but there are many I just do not go to because I do not need to spend money and if you walk in you usually do walk out having spent money.

Absolutely, where I shop and what products I purchase must meet my standards. I always feel more confident when I check my investments, that our economy is what it is because in some small part, I have done my job to help it.

It depends, as long as it does not influence people to do bad things.

There isn't any organization that I boycott But, I do remember growing up and both my parents and grandparents were adamant that you buy American when it comes to cars. I went along with that for a long, long time and now I drive a Kia
