I try my best to boycott Walmart because I just don't like how they do business (I also don't like being in their stores).
I never buy products from IAMS, Nutro, or Purina. Blue Buffalo is the only brand of food I feed my animals. This is mainly a quality issue.
I also do not buy American cars because they just don't beat the competition.
It's not so much that I avoid certain companies but I favor some companies and will go out of my way to support them. For instance, I will buy gas from BP over Exxon and I support Google and Apple over Microsoft.

Those are the main ones... although, if given the choice, I'll always take the smaller hometown company over a large corporate conglomerate.

This is funny because I've boycotted quite a few hometown companies recently. After working for and with quite a few companies in my little college town, I came to the conclusion that some of the owners were very ignorant about how to conduct business, they relied on the loyalty of customers like you, CG, but that will only take them so far.

What is wrong with meat meal? All 'meal' means is that it has been dehydrated and ground.
