Literally impossible to avoid Nestle. Even going to a restaurant or getting take out, benefitted Nestle in some way. Really it’s the fault of governments for allowing a corporation to get that big
Is it? I’ve not knowingly consumed anything from Nestlé in 20 years.
Edit: I have a bland palate and having a dairy allergy helps. I’m also incredibly stubborn!
That’s awesome! I think it’s important to note, however, that the burden of change here is not on the individual. The average person is not an activist, and shouldn’t be expected to be. Nestle knows that, too.
Change on this scale can only happen through government regulation.
That’s an interesting justification for contributing to Nestle. There’s no more personal responsibility left in this country I swear
Do you also wear blood diamonds and eat veal?
Do you also wear blood diamonds and eat veal?
Why, do you expect me to wear blood rubies while eating veal, like some prole?
No.
Doing your own part as much as you are aware or capable is good, but if I were to try to avoid anything unethically sourced, I simply would not be able to participate in the modern world.
Do you use electricity? Do you have a cell phone? Have you ever used anything battery operated, like a flashlight? Have you ever eaten a hamburger? Have you worn a shirt?
Going around shaming people for things that are simply inevitably contributing to some unethical corporation is useless. We just need to agree that there is a problem, and do our best to make change.
I’m all for making personal commitments on topics you feel passionate about. But the fact is, that won’t make a difference on the grand scale. Only through government action is that possible.
Actually you can make a difference. I guarantee there are at least a couple younger family members that look up to you.
Any children you might have will learn from your example.
It really seems like you were trying to justify contributing to a truly evil industry by saying that there are plenty of other evil industries…
“Well nothing is ethical so I don’t have to be!”
Oh you’ve consumed Nestle, you just don’t know it. They have over 200, brands and millions of individual products. Not to mention their non food companies. Again, it’s an issue that governments should have dealt with long ago, and never should have let them get that big
Eating zerocarb (aka carnivore) works, especially if you only drink tap water; Add coffee and you have to be a little careful
Also be careful on soaps and hair care

Fuck Nestle but also kitkat tastes good
All my homies buy the off-brand Kitkats that, despite the significantly lower price, use Fairtrade cocoa.
well poland has WW (from e.wedel)
i rrspect them a lot more then nestleExcept E.Wedel is owned by Korean chaebol Lotte. Which is… I don’t even know honestly, I just know chaebols do a lot of fucked up shit. I guess my point is there is no ethical consumption under capitalism
There’s a European store near my house called wedel lmao. I’ll see if they have it there
They’re so damn good, but I try as much as I can to not buy them
Yes, boycott Nestle, but it isn’t so easy, since almost all products in the Supermarkets belong to this company.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems that as long as you don’t buy processed foods in America you should be able to easily avoid Nestle?
Not only in America. Yes, you can avoid processed food, buying fresh food, but Nestle isn’t only processed food, also water, almost all brands of coffee, sweets, cosmetics, animal food, etc… If you live on a farm with a garden and chickens, with your own well and drink an herbal infusion instead of coffee, washing with your own soap. maybe you can avoid using Nestle products.
Around 3/4 of US adults are either overweight or obese; avoiding giving into the urge to eat processed foods is a problem all on its own
I dunno, Nestle owns basically the who’s-who of terrible processed food and snack brands. Avoiding them isn’t just good activism, it’s good for your health, too.
Assuming you don’t live in a food desert… Or have a baby that requires more milk than you can produce… Or have a pet that requires a particular diet…
