Back on the topic.. To those that said that the beliefs of the owners should be their own and we should not concern ourselves with those views when choosing what we eat. I disagree. What if the owner was a Nazi who was outspoken about white supremacy?
I personally boycotted Wendy's due to Dave Thomas giving buckets of money to radical pro-life groups, including some that supported killing abortion doctors.
When I buy something, my own personal enjoyment of that thing isn't my only criteria. How it was made, who makes it, and yes, the political, sociological and environmental standings of the company all play a role.

Godwin's law in effect at post#234. Just to play devil's advocate,
; )if the guy was outspoken about white supremacy, that would be him excercising free speech. If he refused to hire/serve ethnic minorities, that would be discrimination and punishable under various laws about fair hiring, etc.
You (and most people) would reasonably choose not to patronize his business, and it would fold. That may eventually happen here, we'll see.
