To think change4life shouldn't partner up with a baby killing machine?

[LambinsideaDuckinsideaTrout]

Nestle? Really?

Excuse the language but, what the fucking fuck?

[LambinsideaDuckinsideaTrout]

Works fine for me on chrome both links.


Anyhoo...

[katese11]

Thanks. .. Will look into it!

Sorry to break the argument up with my spamming. As you were ;)

[Armadale]

OK, just to let you know I switched to IE and it loaded the page no problem, but the same address will not load on Chrome.

[Armadale]

Hi, no still not getting the right page (I am technically a bit rubbish, so it might be me though!)...it is a lovely blog though, particularly love the world is your oyster card

[katese11]

Thanks lamb... have just moved onto new servers and things have been a bit glitchy!

[LambinsideaDuckinsideaTrout]

Hi Katese, I can't find your link, it says page not found...any ideas

[katese11]

clicky

I blogged about this, inspired by the thread. .. But I'ma bit scared to post it here because of how vicious things have got.

Ah well, ignore if you want to. It's just my personal view of Nestlé, with a stat or two thrown in for good measure

You agree then, comments like those wouldn't be made when faced with the reality, only when sat in a 'postmodern right on way' in front of a screen.

[scottishmummy]

That's online life.the exposure to how others conduct themselves
Words on a screen,i may find some things objectionable but impact isn't enduring
Mn is a microcosm of opinion,it gets heated.trick is to not make it personal,or take Personally

[LambinsideaDuckinsideaTrout]

Like a PP said if something doesn't affect you directly it is easier to feel like it doesn't matter.

MOST would feel different about a comment like that if the woman and her dying baby were stood in front of them.

Certainly they wouldn't make disgusting and flippant remarks like the one above either.

[scottishmummy]

Thread is littered with intemperate and snidey comments,but that happens on heated threads
Can't say many of them stand out significant.i think some folks get het up
I got deleted when I lol and c&p the remark back.it was deliciously obnoxious and a new one to me

[custardo]

what part of the catering costs are attributed to Nestle?

[LambinsideaDuckinsideaTrout]

It was a very ignorant comment to make. Maybe no one reported it. I didn't report any comments to be deleted. For the most part I think people should have to stand by what they say at the time without it being deleted.

My comments included.

Picking through the interesting parts of this thread - I considered myself reasonably well informed but I was under the impression that Nestle's immoral promotion of formula in developing countries had stopped - maybe things like the RCM dropping the boycott had given me that impression. Learning that these practices are still ongoing along with the siphoning of water which I did not know about has made me realise that I want to boycott. Whether it makes a difference it not, I don't wish to give my money to a company which is the direct cause of so much death and suffering.

(Am gutted about San Pellegrino as their Limonata is my newly discovered alcohol-replacement in pregnancy. Fuckers.)

And despite all the deletions and mud-slinging on the thread, to my mind the most jaw-droppingly callous, insensitive and offensive statement was the poster who said why don't 'these women' just re-lactate followed by a grinning smiley - because women watching their babies starving to death is apparently hilarious if it allows you to get a dig in at the 'breastapo'. I can't believe that comment was allowed to stand!

[LambinsideaDuckinsideaTrout]

Tax avoided, evaded and uncollected would easily pay for it. Close the loopholes.

Tax justice network and PCS estimate it at £120 billion.

HMRC estimate it at £30 billion.

[scottishmummy]

2012 NHS catering costs were @£500million and rising

[scottishmummy]

That's a completely made up trajectory. And bit fatalistic
On premise majority will eat nestle,and create your so called Vicious cycle
Btw if the health programme works,people will eat less processed food

[scottishmummy]

Your default,not mine.not the majority

[womblesofwestminster]

scottishmummy can't you see the vicious circle developing here?

People eat Nestle products > people get obese > health initiative required > nestle fund obesity health initiative > people eat Nestle products > people get obese, etc, etc.

[custardo]

the bill for MP expenses was 100million. 2012/13.

[custardo]

it does by default

[scottishmummy]

You can individually boycott nestle if you feel so compelled.absolutely
This does it mean those who don't boycott support killing infants
