I also try to avoid plastic food and cosmetic packaging but it's hard where I live, since it's a cold shithole where nothing grows and a lot of food is imported.

You forgot baby food and formula. Sometimes Nestlé formula is the only one available, especially if it something specific like with an special vitamin. It's so evil that they hold the patents.
I think the hardest thing is avoiding brands when working with clients or professionals. I don't know a pediatrician that doesn't work with Nido or a MUA that doesn't use L'Oréal, for example. so if you are a client for them or a professional yourself avoiding it is almost imposible.

Purina intoxicated my cat and made her dependent of their other special food. Is the only thing she can eat, and now that she's 11 yrs old she can barely digest it now.

Amazon. Admittedly it's not really out of ethical concerns, though I have no love for Bezos or the company at all, I just fucking hate using it. I'm not American and trying to find stuff that actually ships to me is difficult, the website is weird and annoying to browse, it's the only account of mine that's ever been compromised (someone bought digital games on my account), and I just get turned off by the general cheap consoomerist vibe of it. I've got some decent stuff before but I think I'm better off not getting into the habit of shopping there anyway.

No. 1298558

Any feminine brand that panders to trannies, I'm tired of them being focused on when they have no use for pads and tampons. Like if some brand wanted to pander to them using a lotion then it would be annoying but even then there would be an actual use. No moid should be thought of when brands are selling anything dealing with feminine hygiene and menstruation, It's not like them using the products is even going to raise the quality.

Also this maybe nitpicky of me but why even pretend that they are in need of "divine feminine" crap. I don't believe in that junk but it ticks me off that women can't even have one thing to themselves while those tards were making fun of women for using crystals and making their own yoni tea years ago.

Companies exist to make money anon. Ones who deal with female hygiene are limited to only half the population by definition, increasing the size of their customers is a dream come true.

Yep and then you not only have a waste of materials but you have males feeling even more entitled to women's bodies because of this.

Products I won't support:
- anything from the grocery store with canola/sunflower/vegetable/grapeseed oil. these are industrial byproducts made to be odorless and tasteless used often as filler in many pre-packaged foods. stuff is super nasty and super bad for our bodies
- any period products. these companies are straight up conning women and girls, you do not need to constantly purchase new period products with nasty chemicals in them no less. re-usable pads are the amazing and super easy to clean, just throw them in with the rest of your laundry. cups are good too but i prefer reusable pads. partyinmypants is my go to brand for pads, although i bought maybe 10 a few years ago and have never needed to restock
- that flea treatment for cats that applies directly on the skin of their neck. was horrified to see that the last time i used that stuff it had burned a bald patch onto my poor cats neck, right where i had applied. my poor girl yelped as soon as i put it on her, the whole thing was terrible plus upon research i found out that cats lifespans are reduced by at least 5 years with frequent flea treatment applications. miss me and my baby w all of that.

Any company that pushes for "body positivity" when they used to make a brand out of making women feel bad for their bodies. It feels so fake when companies who just recently had owners that hate fat people or unattractive women change into pandering to those who would have been laughed out of the stores a couple of years ago. I just feel like if your going to be exclusive then say it with your chest and let your company go down like it should have, It's like they have short term amnesia or they're absolutely spineless cowards who forgot that they needed to make money. Even when they revamp the clothes they somehow manage to look more ugly or plain with a few exceptions such as abercrombie but a majority of them don't seem to think fat people want cuter clothes in the original style although a majority of americans are fat. I think it really pissed me off because I've always been skinny but my friends who were fat were sneered at when they picked up anything in the store so i'm just bitter at how "fake" they are, I realize that companies exist to make money but I just hate the hypocrisy.

The reality is that most brands are owned by the same parent company and trying to boycott any of them is futile.

Sometimes it feels pointless though because everything is shit and corrupt in some way. The common defense of shein is "every company is like that, even American brands and luxury!" And that's not wrong, I just don't understand how that makes it okay to keep supporting those practices instead of becoming deeply concerned. People value cheap trendy clothes over all. I rarely buy anything unless it's secondhand or necessities like groceries. I'm definitely not perfect though, it's not uncommon to find out what you thought was a small brand is just a subsidiary of nestle or P&G. Anyone who manages to 100% boycott anything is crazy dedicated (and probably wealthy, to be able to afford it). My mom has a shopping addiction and offloads her temu hauls on me all the time. I can't help but wonder what corners must have been cut for this useless plastic thing that breaks after 1 use to show up at my door from halfway across the world for $2. It's all so depressing
