Well said, Dave...

I am going to make the effort to buy Danish food products from now on.
IIRC my local soopermart (Treasure Island in Chicago) sometimes has a
"Danish Food Week" featuring products from Denmark. I'll have a word
with the manager and make inquires about it...the store has a
relatively sophisticated clientele (also heavily Jewish) so this would
go over well I think.

You also might consider one of those lovely Bang & Olufsen stereo sets
(if only I could afford one!)...
