"Founder put infant nutrition at heart of the group"
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article...478706,00.html

Quote:
Baby nutrition is at the heart of Nestlé and motivated its founder to develop the first infant formula, a product that has swept across the world and provoked controversy, particularly in Britain.
I actually do believe that Henri Nestle was a good and honorable man who has helped save the lives of countless infants. But I don't believe for a second that Nestle is carrying on his "good work".

Dang. I just threw up a little again.

The language they use drives me crazy... "Give your baby the BEST start in life." GRRRRRR! : It's so misleading!

You know, with all the other things listed that Nestle does (just read first and last few sentences) they really have *no* excuse, not even financial, for selling formula as anything other than what it was originally designed for--feeding starving babies who have no other recourse.

It's like Phillip-Morris, they have Kraft, whyTF do they need tobacco?

I have to agree, Nestle does not need to sell infant formula! The whole article made me sick to my stomach too!

That actually made me laugh, especially the "Baby nutrition is at the heart of Nestle" line.

I agree that is a crock!

but as an off topic issue...I *really* hate this expression:
"This made me throw up in my mouth a little"
I realize that this has become a very popular phrase to say, but that does not make it any easier to stomach. I read this thread title this morning after making myself some nice eggs and wheat toast, and I totally could not eat it it after reading your title. I have read this expression around the boards several times recently--I get that it is suppose to be funny and convey a sense of outrage and sickness over a certain subject, but it is just gross.

Maybe no one else agrees with me and I am being too sensitive about it, but that and the vomit smiley are just offensive, in my opinion.

I think it's terrible journalism. How can they even address the history of Nestle without alluding to the boycott and the millions of African "bottle baby" deaths?

Unfortunately it always comes back to greed where big business is involved, no matter what they try to convince the unsuspecting public of!! :Puke
Sorry LisainCalifornia, but that smilie discribes exactly how I feel, and I must admit I kinda like it. :

And also in Dutch, French, German, Italian, and a few other languages. That's how I came up with it.
