This is so great! I had no idea until I took a breastfeeding course last month how terrible the company really is. The worst part for me was them sending formula to Africa … but only for a limited time. How the hell did they think the mothers in Africa would be able to mix formula after their pre-mixed supply ran out? Clean water anyone? It’s disgusting…they try to appear to be oh-so-generous, but they are totally corrupt. I’m joining the boycott. I love love love your blog!!!

Great post. I think the scariest part of the whole thing is the list of products to boycott. Is there anything NOT made by Nestle? I read some of your other Nestle posts, too. It makes me sad to see this company is promoted by so many mom blogs.

Nestle continues to encounter vociferous online opposition on a range of issues, from traditional concerns about its formula milk, to newer attacks on its digital marketing efforts. Some bloggers feel this is no more than putting lipstick on a pig. [...]

You continue to inspire me to be a stronger, better mother and woman. Thank you. You, Annie, kick some major ass. Made some cookies the other day and made it a point to pass up the Nestle choc. chips. They were damn good cookies, cookies with a conscious taste amazing.

This line: “So, to whoever is taking on this momentous and impossible task for Nestle: Welcome to the PhD in Parenting blog. You’ll probably be spending quite a bit of time here.” is just so damn good, I just can’t stop laughing! Love it!

Well, you already know how I feel. I saw it first hand. And until I get confirmation from the people I know in Ethiopia that Nestle has changed their practices I know I will not be buying their products. I am still so disgusted!!!!!

We’ve been boycotting them for the last seven years and don’t intend to stop. It’s amazing that they think a little social networking will change what they are doing to families, or even the public’s perspective of what they’ve been doing.

Ooh very interesting post and you can totally tell your passion and determination for this. It bleeds through in all your words and is very powerful. I clicked on the link to see all the Nestle products. Yikes! So many products by this big company. Keep on going and spreading the word, you are doing a wonderful job.
