Vani Hari on signing petitions and voting with your wallet: recommends

Hari regularly directs her followers to sign petitions — often hosted on Change.org — and to boycott companies that use ingredients she opposes, in campaigns ranging from Kraft to Kellogg’s, per foodbabe.com.

Her stated reasoning is that consumer pressure is what actually moves big food companies: she points to her track record of petition-driven wins — Kraft removing Yellow 5/6 from Mac & Cheese after a 365,000+ signature petition, Subway removing azodicarbonamide, WhiteWave removing carrageenan — as proof that organized shoppers can force reformulation faster than regulators.

“Vote with your wallet” is her shorthand for the same idea: stop buying products with ingredients you reject, sign the petition, and let the sales numbers do the arguing.
