Scandal ! Shock and horror!
Last night , I was shocked. Utterly amazed, even.
I found myself mentioning the Nestle Boycott to someone and they said "yeah , I know about the Nestle Boycott"
But someone else said
Companies can and should be able to provide this option without being accused of just being money-grubbing.
So, lets look at what Nestle is actually doing in poor, developing countries. Ok, corporations should be able to offer goods and services - I agree. But, is Nestle offering an ethical service, or are they indeed 'money grubbing'?
For the record, I am not anti capitalism per se, but when a company like Nestle goes into the developing world, the poorer nations, or whatever we used to call the Third World this week and agressively promotes their product to women who don' really need and really can't afford their products - I call this corporate vandalism, if not manslaughter.
Seriously, my wife and I won't have a product made by Nestle or any of its subsidiaries in the house or the shopping basket until they quit the aggressive and high pressurised marketing of their products in the poorer nations.
I mean like ~everyone~ who cares about what happens to women, or their children in poorer nations ought to be on the Nestle boycott, and ought to be writing to the company and saying why they are on it.
You might well tell me that "You have been doing this for decades, and the problem is still here". Ok, but it is the principle. Economic boycotts worked against Iceland, and will work against Nestle if enough people know and get on board and tell the company why they did it.
So, have a link. Yes, I am using Wiki.
Any challenges against Wiki will be met with the sources they cite against this company.
Lets have it out. if anyone thinks that Nestle is being badly treated by Wiki or anyone else, step up please, and make your case.

I also looked for tags on Nestle, Boycott and stuff like that. We don't do them it seems. Scandalous!
