Farms tend to be rural... Rural communities tend to be conservative. How are "Conservatives" going to run out of things to eat when they literally grow food?

The hell is this article supposing? That Tony the Tiger owns all food? This type of editorialization is stupid. Who cares that ANYBODY boycotted what amount to sugar soup?

Do you really think that's what the article was saying? Their boycotting farms? I guess you also think they are boycotting ranches, and fisheries too? Or many... just maybe... the author was using something so common we have name for it? Hyperbole

You may want to read my post again.

Boycotting sugar soup is not "running out of things to eat".

Nowhere did I say that they're boycotting farms. Wouldn't make sense since I asserted that they run most rural farms.
