How big of an impact does politics have on your purchases?

[Cranberry]

Well, I do look if the stuff I buy is biological or not (where possible), and I usually take the biological one then. It's comparably easy to find such stuff in Austria, as there are tens of thousands stickers, and green dots, and "AMA-Gütesiegel" and whatever on the food that you can't miss it. But I guess everyone in Austria does pick that one then, and food without at least one green dot or whatever has become relatively seldom. I do boycott Nestlé though, mainly because of their child labor policies in Côte d'Ivoire and their palm oil farms in Indonesia (they threaten the survival of the last Orang Utans). I guess that's a bit hypocritical, as other companies may be no better, but I know it of Nestle, so I don't buy stuff where it's obvious that the cocoa is from Nestlé (Nestle chocolate, kit-Kat....)
