      Pretty much just avoiding his stadiums and sports teams. You don’t have much control over avoiding his B2B stuff as a consumer. His companies do make a bunch of packaging material, mostly wood-based (paper, cardboard)

      Don’t mind space cowboy, he’s a progressive in most things except Palestine. Probably a liberal Zionist because he’s pretty negative towards the plight of Palestinians

      Boycott.

      But you don’t even want to change which brand of Mac & Cheese you buy, it would inconvenience you too much. The point of your movement is to do performative to gain social media clout, not to do anything that would inconvenience yourselves in any way.

      And yes Kraft is big, maybe boycotting them won’t have much of an effect. But bullying someone smaller like a B-list musical artist also won’t have a big effect in terms of society, but it will have a big effect on that particular musical artist.

      This whole thing proves that you’re movement is weak, you know you’re weak, and you engage in bullying solely to try to convince yourselves that you are strong. You’re too weak to try to take on someone big like Robert Kraft (the real source of this particular controversy), so you don’t even try.

      You’re Karens shouting at the cashier instead of just taking your business elsewhere. The point is to make a scene and bully people, not to do anything real (that’s too much effort!) that will actually make any kind of a difference.

        Kraft’s businesses mostly make cardboard, paper and wood products, largely packaging material and such. What does Mac & Cheese, a home-cooked meal, have to do with it?

          They’re assuming since his last name is Kraft he must be involved in Kraft foods.

        Boycott.

        Which business off of which Robert Kraft actually makes money would you recommend the average person boycott?

        But you

        You know nothing about me

        don’t even want to change which brand of Mac & Cheese you buy

        Robert Kraft has nothing to do with Kraft Mac & Cheese, which I don’t buy either.

        Your entire comment hinges off assumptions that you are making about a complete stranger, and off of the assumption that Robert Kraft has anything to do with Kraft Heinz.

        You are judging strangers based on your own misinformed perspective. But do go on, by all means.
