Children's Author refuses Nestle book prize - Page 2

Applause for the author. I agree that he did everything within his power, and in doing so, has raised awareness of the issues at hand. I hope there are people out there going "what is Nestle doing that someone would refuse award money from them?" We need more people to be aware, and that is the bottom line.

Wow, the blatant lies from Nestle in that article are sickening.

I've heard of this before. I've heard of another author refusing the "Nestle Smarties" prize and Nestle of course criticized the author in a press release.

This Nestle Smarties award is mentioned in the back of at least one Harry Potter book.

good for him!! I'm going to keep my eye out for this book and anything else he wrote, too.
