Business Boycotts
Any business utilizing the Christian fish, the cross, or
other religious symbol in its advertising
is obviously to be boycotted. It shows that the owner has a preference for
religious customers. They are usually small local businesses. Large
corporations didn't get there by discriminating. You should also make a point of
writing or calling such businesses to complain about the practice.
As of May 2006 - Civicom
Reason for Boycott: Initiating a policy of "Tithes" to Christian charities.
Civicom markets internet-based communications software to corporations. They
have a policy of donating 10% of profits to Christian charities.

As of February 2006 - Flowers Foods
Flowers Foods is a
producer and marketer of packaged bakery foods in the United States.
Reason for Boycott: Each year at christmas time, the wrapper design for
Sunbeam bread is changed to show "Little Miss Sunbeam" in prayer. The
graphic is the same as the one used for the sun catcher sold on the corporate
website. www.sunbeambread.com Letters
have been written to the company to ask that the practice be stopped. The
company's response is that many customers like the design. Apparently, the
company is not concerned about all of its customers.
Other brands owned by Flowers Foods include Nature's
Own, Cobblestone Mill, ButterKrust, Evangeline Maid, Mary
Jane, Dandee, Flowers, Betsy Ross, European
Bakers, BlueBird, Mrs.
Freshley's, Mi Casa, and Tesoritos,
as well as regional franchised brands, such as Sunbeam
and Bunny. Flower Foods products are
distributed in the following areas:
