Goody, listen to what you said! What’s the difference between oil and food? That, in theory, we can ‘do without’ oil.
Of course, mysterio correctly points out in order to pull off a successful boycott, we have to utterfly stop consumption. I’m not sure Americans are ready for that, but what a heckuva statement it would make if we could pull that off! Even if just for a week or two!

A boycott will do nothing. Only a general strike would have a real effect. Nobody goes to work or buys anything or pays any bills.
I don't think I would do something like that over oil prices, though. Better to save that for a good reason.

That, in theory, we can do without oil.Except that we use oil to produce and ship the food. When oil is more expensive, so is food (and everything else).
