With Unilever, Mondelez and Procter & Gamble on that list, shopping for groceries and hygiene products might get complicated if you actually want to boycott all of them.

Feels weird to not see Nestlé on a list of big (food) companies doing questionable things.

Ben & Jerry's was shocking. I don't eat their ice cream or follow them, but from their online presence it seemed like they were privately owned by the "good guys."

Is Patagonia still safe?
