Don't worry, my economics are fine and up to date. You say that ...the money stays here instead...

Now, do you make any sense? These are American businesses we're talking about, that just happen to have a French name. The money stays here anyway.

The French products boycott which we were among the first to advocate here on FR is not intended to hurt everything French. Just the French economy, to the extent possible. You don't want to turn this into a cultural war.

My own approach to the boycott is:

NEVER BUY FRENCH WINES EVER AGAIN.

DO NOT TRAVEL TO FRANCE.

Not really, the bulk of French food is made with French Wine(made in France), which in turn lines the pockets of the Frogs. Most if not all of the wines in a French restaurant are French(again made in France) and the bulk of all monies invested in a French Restaurant are in that little thing called a wine cellar(French wines).

So, in order to boycott the items even you list as boycottable, you must not eat most French foods and all French wines. So rather then go to a restaurant to look at the cooks and wait staff I prefer not to go at all, seeing as how I put America and Americans before France and its products any day.
