Too be honest....I have not really started boycotting companies. NFL is a newer concept to be and I am trying to take things one step at a time.

They have a list of Nestle products up there too, not sure if it's just the UK products though.

Definately. Except when I'm on a really hot construction site and someone kindly brings me a bottle of water ... and it is Poland Spring.

They, and several other bottled waters are now owned by Nestle.
Gerolsteiner and Evian are the only ones sold widely in NYC that aren't.
Nestle and the other big big companies (like Philip Morris which is now called Altria

-- it sounds so altruistic) are into everything.

Here is a link to Nestle itself: http://www.nestleusa.com/PubOurBrands/Brands.aspx
And frankly, it is weird that the water isn't listed.

On every label of Poland Spring, it says "Dist. By Nestle Waters USA Inc." So does Perrier.

Cadbury-Schweppes have just bought up Green & Blacks so I'm trying to move away from them as well. Since Cadbury aren't exactly the purest of the pure I'm trying to patronise other organic/fair trade chocolate brands.
To answer my own question, I do boycott Nestle. I was brought up in a non-Nestle household so it's always been almost second-nature to me.

It is easier to boycott these companies when one shops at independent stores that do a lot of screening for you. Essentially. (Of course, that doesn't work with Green & Blacks now.

Like shopping at my really independent health food store/coop. Buying direct from a farmer's market. Buying from individuals who make stuff themselves. Going herbal and eschewing the pharma-medico complex.
That is, the more NFL one is, the easier it is to be NFL, I guess.

It'll take longer, but you'll remember after a while.
