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 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.

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
