i dont understand why are you mad. aren’t there formula ads everywhere in america? and the free samples given by pediatricians and in hospitals. haven’t some of you needed to feed their babies with formula for any reason. and if it werent for formula the baby would have lost weight because you didnt have enough breastmilk or were unable to nurse for any number of reasons? so why are people in ethiopia supposed to be different?

[...] work of Baby Milk Action’s Boycott Nestle Blog to expose Nestle’s lies, and despite a first person account of Nestle formula advertising seen in Ethiopia, maybe the photographic evidence I collected in Berlin today will change their [...]

Disgusting. And sad. But, not surprising.

It’s really too bad she couldn’t get a photo. That is truly abhorrent behaviour by Nestle.

Personally, I think they were counting on none of us actually being in Africa or South East Asia where we would actually see first hand what they are doing. I mean in reality not many people get to those areas of the world. It is disgusting!!!

I keep wondering how much longer they can keep silent or, when they do “engage”, keep spitting out the same lies when faced with such evidence. It is a complete charade on their part. They seem to think that “mommy bloggers” aren’t viewed as credible sources, but I think they HIGHLY under estimate the quality of research and information being documented by you and others. Thanks again for keeping the information current and up to date and being a resource for gathering the latest.

Thanks for keeping this in the news. It is frustrating, but I am so thankful for the conscious blogging scene which is contributing to keeping companies more transparent in their ethics.

Shame on them… babies die because of this marketing – it is a BIG deal and, living in Africa, you have to see the consequences that “not marketing” formula has had on an already poverty stricken continent with little chance of accessibility to clean water.

And yet “good corporate citizen” Nestle remains silent – the same tactic used in their bottled water division when confronted by an inconvenient reality.

Truly, this is one company you don’t want in your community (or in your pantry).

I’ve also got photographic proof that they’re still using the same logos on formula, coffee creamer and canned milk in South East Asia, when they swore they were going to stop because it was confusing to parents there who are mostly illiterate. Lots of babies ended up in the hospital last year because their parents were feeding them coffee creamer they believed to be infant formula.
