Decades ago I gave up iconic brands like Levi and General Mills. I found local and off-brand cereals and granola and muesli which taste better! And better for you. Brands that rely on mass advertising cost more than they should. Someone has to pay those Madison Avenue big bucks advertisers! And the big bucks they donate to causes which have nothing to do with their core business or customer base.
We do not want our precious food dollars, to support nefarious causes!
I said decades ago, we are buying the future of our country with every nickel we spend. You are right, we should not compromise for habit or convenience. There are better options out there!
When my daughter was young I tried to find shoes not made in China. Most of her wearing apparel and shoes came from thrift shops. Kids grow out of things, so there were always things without a lot of wear. I figured, if the shoes were made in China, China did not get anything more if I bought them at the thrift shop.
I know it is hard to find alternatives! Keep trying!
