All you can say is you have a vote with your wallet. If you don't agree, then don't buy their product. There are products I don't buy because I don't agree with things the company does.
I'll definitely vote with my wallet and avoid Honey Maid - not because of this ad, but because their products are full of HFCS.
There's that and the fact that they are high as a cat's back too. Graham crackers ain't made with gold.
Man, I'm going to have a tough time breaking away from Honey Maid. I love putting a little grape jelly on the Honey Made crackers and eating it. That was a childhood snack...DAMN YOU HONEY MAID!!!!!!!
That and I'm getting awfully sick of companies pandering to either side of this issue.
This is a blatant attempt at getting free advertising by being "controversial." It works for whichever side a company's higher ups side with. I'm sure Honey Maid will see a slight uptick in their profits the same way Chick Fil A did a year ago.
I can't even walk down a grocery aisle without having to be reminded that everything is political. Even our food. Ugh.
It's the new free advertising gimmick. Well, not new, Chik-fil-a did it last year, and Oreos did it a while back. Maybe others I can't think of right now.
Take a controversial stand on some righteous basis, free advertising ensues.
Advertising is all about getting attention and buzz.

Not to defend another company that puts all sorts of chemicals in their 'food' (not to mention sells 'fast 'food, yuck) but I don't recall Chic-Fil-A taking a controversial stand - I simply recall someone digging up an interview wight he owner where he answered a point-blank questions. IMO, lumping that in with companies that proactively attach themselves to a cause via advertising is unfair.
Feel free to correct me if I'm remembering it wrong.

Chick-fil-A is no way did anything as a gimmick. The president was asked about his personal believes and it ruffled some feathers

I like that li'l video. Not a fan of companies blatantly pushing any agenda, but anyone who thinks the various arms of the American food industry hasn't been firmly entrenched in politics to protect their own interests/bottom line simply hasn't been paying attention. Our food is so manipulated, across the board, it's mind-boggling, and they take every measure they can to ensure it remains that way. No, there's nothing apolitical about food companies. I just wish they'd go back to being more surreptitious about it.
well, there were reports of a few holsteins tagging this year's atlanta pride parade with "eat mor chikin", but that may just be an urban legend
FIFY!
Your memory coincides with mine. We both may be bigots. (It is still Make Fun of Jon Day. Sorry, bub.)
Take the fast food ads....they lie blatantly - panko crusted cod my smelly rear end. They show white fish then sell you this gray crap that was probably guts. No panko crust either. They lie like that in other countries and they get fined severely/taken off the air. Only reason they can do it here is the politicians protect them.I like that li'l video.

Hey, if we can get lied to by the President -- how do you fuss at Wendy's for promoting -- "all beef" burgers.....
Honestly, what scares me more is that "all beef burgers" is supposed to be some reason why I should buy them... If you have to tell me they are all beef, that tells me more about the industry than it does about the quality of Wendy's burgers.
As CA said - I'll boycott Honey Maid because their food is made of crap. I probably disagree politically with the producers and distributors of several foods I buy - I don't care. Give me a high quality food product. Unless you are using my money to support terrorism, are actively hostile toward a group, or the like, I'll still probably buy your product if it is high quality.
