United Methodist for Kairos Response Joins Coalition Boycotting Pillsbury

The United Methodists for Kairos Response has joined the coalition asking that we boycott Pillsbury. The issue is that Pillsbury is owned by General Mills and there is a Pillsbury factory in the Atarot Industrial Zone, an illegal Israeli settlement in East Jerusalem. The Zone has displaced, exploited, stifled, and otherwise harmed local Palestinian lives, livelihoods, and land. General Mills is profiting from apartheid ("racial segregation sanctioned by law" and that may involve religious, political or other forms of discrimination and oppression is what my dictionary says) and is complicit in Israel's occupation and annexation of the Palestinian's West Bank. So say the good folks at the United Methodists for Kairos Response.

Now, you all know that I try to put in recipes most every day for comfort food. The point is to help and support you and help make sure that you're eating and happy. What good would all this talk about God be if you were craving something to eat? I try to give recipes for the kinds of meals that you could pick up at any local store and that aren't fancy. You wouldn't much call these recipes health food, though I have not yet posted recipes that involve Snickers or Moon Pies or RC and Goobers (they're coming, though). But if I have posted anything that involves Pillsbury products, please find a substitute so long as this boycott is on.
