A question for all of you Kind Lifers out there:


Would you participate in an athletic event sponsored by a company that doesn't support your values?


I'm just getting back into running and found a duathalon I'd like to participate in. It's scheduled perfectly so I can be in shape in time, the course is on a beautiful river 20 minutes from my home, the distances are perfect for me, and the proceedes benefit the local high school cross country team. The race, however is sponsered by a local cattle company and they will also be providing the post-race meal. Even when I did eat meat, the thought of a burger after a race makes my stomach do backflips! Anyone have any thoughts on this? I thought it would make for an interesting discussion.
