This is c/BoycottUS. Even if you want to boycott things based on their "ancestry", maize is from Mexico and potatoes from Peru, not the US.
Can you find Haldiram's chips in your local stores? Potatoes were native to the Americas, but have been widely naturalized around the world. India is the second-largest potato producer in the world, and Haldiram's is based it Uttar Pradesh. I would wager that they use local potatoes.
If that's what you like, may I suggest patato chips (from patato's grown outside us, baked in oil made outside us, packaged outside us, sold outside us unless the brand, the company and or the seller are a subsidiary of a us corp) and popcorn (from maize grown outside us, popped outside us, packaged outside us, sold outside us unless the brand, the company and or the seller are a subsidiary of a us corp). If you're from Mexico or Canada this might be hard, but if you're not it's quite doable since I don't think it is economically sensible ship this stuff across an ocean.
Don't forget Tomatoes, sunflowers, many beans, chocolate, vanilla, many nuts, most strawberries, most blueberries, tobacco, and rubber.
It's amazing thinking about how much lives must have changed as these plants spread around the world.
I'm not sure how impactful boycotting these products would be, of course. Perhaps volunteering your time to help remove invasive plants from your local environment, that originated in North and South America, would be a more impactful use of energy. There's certainly a lot of them out there causing problems.
Wheat Crunch
If you want non-American crisps KP Snacks are made by a UK company which is owned by a German company. Basically everything they make is good. I think the potatoes at least are grown in the UK.
Crunchips are German? I’ve seen them in quite a few other countries and they’re good as well.
lmao what
Boycott US
Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.
