Should I boycott McDonald’s by not buying hamburgers made with (hopefully) meat that was sourced, prepared and cooked in Europe by local workers and then buy Prada bags manufactured in China?

Right now I prefer to boycott McDonald’s more for the political message it sends than careful analysis of where the money flows: if enough people stop going to McDonald’s it’s easy to draw a line between “US administration starting trade wars” to “iconic US brands sales in Europe drop”, but it’s not like McDonald’s is inherently more evil than some big European brands.
