Nestle Concerns?

[toastqueen]

Hi...I want to be more informed about Nestle and their bad practices....but the websites I've found don't explain it well. Maybe it's my mommy brain, which seems to be getting worse, but can anyone explain what they're doing?
I'm willing to give up butterfingers, but I just want to know why!
Thanks!!

Some books that may explain it, my memory is a little fuzzy

The Politics of Breastfeeding, G. Palmer
Milk, Money and Madness, D. Michels and N. Baumslag (Sp?)

where do we draw the line?

I, too, am learning more about Nestle and their practices...I am boycotting their products as I am empowered to not let another baby or mother fall victim to their lack of ethics. I am sometimes frustrated...it is sometimes difficult as I am learning more and more that their products are embedded everywhere in our culture...household products and names that I grew up with...but I also know that I am making a difference, that I am helping to make progress toward breastfeeding and [re]creating that breastfeeding culture that is so crucial to a mother's success in nurturing a flourishing baby.

you are making a difference too!! thanks to all for your posts and for this thread-I find it very supportive and healing-I am restored again.
