I am an outspoken critic of Nestlé’s unethical business practices. Although I have been aware of some of the issues with Nestlé for years, I have become more aware of the depth and breadth of the issues since my interaction with both Nestlé and the Nestlé Family Bloggers starting last September. This post provides an [...]

As I promised back in my BlogHer Accountability Post, I am making charitable donations in the amount of $600. That is the full cost of a BlogHer ’10 ticket, if it were not covered by sponsors. This year’s BlogHer sponsor list includes a number of companies that I am not enamored with, including most notably [...]

They say that because I [...]

If there are still people who believe anything the Nestle executive told them at the Nestle Family event or anything they claim elsewhere, despite my analysis of the answers I received from Nestle, despite the ongoing work of Baby Milk Action’s Boycott Nestle Blog to expose Nestle’s lies, and despite a first person account of [...]

Jessica Gottlieb is a reluctant but determined participant in the Nestle boycott. Listen as she explains why she cannot use their products, despite the fact that she loves them (from Jessica’s YouTube channel). People like Jessica and I have strong voices. Organizations like Greenpeace and Baby Milk Action have a wide reach. The more Nestle [...]

Seems someone has been beating up on Nestle in the social media world. In fact, it is so bad that they had to fly in a bunch of PR firms into their headquarters in Switzerland to brief them on Nestle’s need for help charting a path through social media. According to Arun Sudhaman’s article, Nestle [...]
