No more buying their butter. Plenty of other brands on the shelf. Yep! You beat me to it.

I guess I’ll stop buying Land O Lakes.

How totally stupid of Land ‘O Lakes management, to alienate what is likely a huge amount of their customers. I never used their products, but if I did, I’d stop after this. I hope they suffer a gigantic downturn in their profits, the price of stupidity.

“What did King do that was so egregious?”

I even recently found it on sale. I have plenty of Kerrygold to last a while . Once our current stock of LOL butter is gone, it's gone from this house for good.

There goes HALF your customers, dumbasses!

Exactly! By the way, I switched to Kerrygold Irish Butter about 2 years ago. It is about twice the price of Land-O-Lakes, but the flavor is fantastic. Well worth the price.

Land o Lakes should maybe consult their growers’ cooperative members before they make political decisions, or they might find their growers’ cooperative forming their own and leaving LoL high and dry:

In California, Land O’Lakes will acquire Ceres for a price of $17.2 million, or $0.40 per share. Land O’Lakes is the largest US grower’s co-operative.
The price per share of common stock represents an 81% premium to the closing price of Ceres shares of common stock on June 16, 2016.
Upon completion of the transaction, Ceres will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Land O’Lakes and will complement Forage Genetics International, a Land O’Lakes subsidiary, and bring new advanced plant breeding and biotechnology to FGI’s research and development pipeline.

Another instance where a marketing department filled with Millenial female social media addicts who got degrees from Liberal brainwashing colleges convinced the CEO

Land O Lakes is probably minor league. If you want to see the teflon, corporate leftist monoculture bubble in the extreme, look at consumer companies like General Mills and Nike.

In the old days, we used to haul milk to a L-o’-L plant nearby,, never knew it had much to do with politics back then .. I don’t use any of their products regardless and now, why would I?

It’s too bad companies feeel it necessary to pick sides especially when so much is at stake.. and then pick the wrong side to boot. That ain’t no way to butter voters’ buns up.
