Just curious, but if they supported whatever politics you do agree with, would you still fee the same way in regards to keep your mouth shut and make ice cream?


ETA: I’m not a liberal fwiw.

Honestly, I don’t care what politics anybody is interested in. I just care that when I support a food establishment, product, band, shoe company, Hollywood movie/ actor, or whatever it is that I am buying. That I am buying the product and item not their political beliefs. So, the company should keep their mouth shut and just focus on why I, the consumer is buying their product and keep politics out of the sale.

Another example, Buffalo Wild Wings. The corporate office comes out against the saints recently with some negative things about our or my team. Why? They are a national chain. Stay neutral and bias while the consumer buys their shitty food. So, now that they voiced their opinion. I will voice it through my wallet and go somewhere else now. Sorry for the franchisee locally. He should sell based on lack of support from his own corporate office.

Chick fil a- they are not actively pushing their religious beliefs or political beliefs. People just cannot stand what they stand for.

Back to ice cream. Bluebell, or gelato from Brocato’s is my go to when I want ice cream.

I won’t buy products from hippies who call non-hippies “horrible people”.

Lots of good alternative vendors.

When it comes to ice cream, I choose taste over everything.

No, I really do not care. I just do not need to know what the company stands by or for. That is not why I buy any specific product. Keeping this food related. I go to food establishments to eat “their” food and enjoy the atmosphere. I don’t care what their beliefs are until they share it, make it known, and support. I just think if you have strong beliefs and you want to make a statement. Do it on your own time and not use the establishment, product or popularity as the megaphone. When that happens I find other just as good non judge mental related food to support.

This is not the right place to debate this. Just read your response and what You quoted me. “Not actively pushing their religious beliefs”. When asked they responded but CFA is not out actively promoting what they believe. It’s been sensationalized by the opposing side and media.

Personally, I do not eat CFA. I also do not eat at many fast food places. I cook mostly or eat at local restaurants non chains.

Hard to list just one.

Chubby Hubby
Cherry Garcia
Cookies & Cream Cheesecake Core
Tonight Dough
Chunky Monkey
Phish Food
Bourbon Pecan Pie


The Coffee Heath Bar Crunch used to be a favorite, but they no longer use Heath bars and the toffee they use isn't as good. They did a limited release a few years ago that was Magic Cookie Bar or something like that that was incredible. And they have a Scoop Shop only flavor called Coconut Seven Layer Bar that is great as well.

Big Ben & Jerry's fan
