NESTL? MAKE BABY JESUS CRY

Essentially, The Nestl? empire market aggressively to the poorest of the poor in order to get them to use their powdered milk, with offers running into the first few months of the childs life. Sounds nice?

This is campaign works essentially because due to the propagated misinformation about the product and the price, mothers in poor nations feed their child powdered milk instead of giving their own breast milk, untill they no longer lactate (stop laughing at the back, children) Then they throw the price up extortionately, knowing full well that their product alone can keep these children alive.

I'm sorry, but even I draw a fucking line and its way before this. Purposely causing starving mothers to stop producing milk so they can extort money out of them???!

HOWEVER: At my work, we investigoogled and Products to Boycott (yeah, EXTENSIVE)

I dunno what to do besides run amok in supermarkets with "BABY KILLERS: BOYCOTT" stickers attaching them to all products. Nestl? are too fucking big.

sort of reminds me of the time that a bunch of protesters ran around the local asda, dressesd as big fluffy chickens, sticking lables to all the chickens on the shelves. even the people that worked in the store thought it was some sort of promo, until they read the lables that had been stuck to the ckickens, informing any potential purchaser that the packaging contained the decaying remains of a small tortured bird.

Yeah, our college Young Liberal Democrat society had flyers and stuff about this (I'm a member ;)). I'd be lying if I said I understood why anyone would buy milk when they were poor if it was unnecessary, though; that goes for both rich and poor countries.

NESTLE KILL BABIES FOR PROFIT

and laughs, laughs maniacally.
It does get on my nerves when I see these things slapped around for one ceo's bad decision many years ago that no longer really is associated with the company today. Anyway, Kraft is much bigger, attack them you bloody hippies.

Nestl?'ve always been evil, blood-sucking switzerlanders. I try to avoid them when I can, but it's quite hard to keep track of which products that aren't "infected".

Also, WCD, Yank. Pah.

God this thread brings back memories of me being a crazy leftist at uni, I couldnt be more different within a year, though saying that I'm hardly a republican now.
