May we assume you no longer buy gasoline?

The profits of imported oil are much more directly involved with Islamic governments supporting sharia than chicken sold by a private investment company.

Most people buy lots of products from China which is still a Communist state and in some cases uses prison labor (which amounts to slave labor) for manufacturing processes of products.

If we are going to applaud the owners of Chick Fil A for practices which are guided by deeply held religious beliefs, then rationally we should allow other private companies to do the same.

However, spending our own money for a product is a private decision. I don’t buy Citgo gas because it is wholly owned by the Venezuelan government and I can identify it as directly supporting a government which I despise.

You missed the point entirely on fungibility in the retail product space, and then turn around and point out one. I don’t buy Citgo either.
