No Thanks is a Palestinian boycott-awareness mobile application developed by Palestinian software engineer Ahmed Bashbash, created to assist consumers in identifying and boycotting products associated with companies linked to Israel and their imperial genocide and settlement mission. Launched in 13 November 2023, the app gained significant attention amid the Gaza–Israel conflict
yes, the fact that we have to download and use the app through those companies is contradictory and very sad. But start somewhere.
And nutrition is an important place to start. Who wants to put trash in their body that is made by idiots who support a genocide. Who wants to give money to such products?
Although they are often sweet, delicious, comfortable, irresistible, – which is of course meant to make you addicted, so gigantic companies as those can finance their ideologies on our desires. Desires that are in turn psychological and biological manipulated by the companies who create those products through marketing, flavour tweaking and accessibility.
Exercise to explain accessibility:
Look at the products in the app and the next time when you are in a gas station (the only place to get food next to a highway) look at which percentage of the available products are noted in the app.
Then stop buying them if possible. There really are better alternatives.
