That's awful. Makes me so so angry. How can they get away with it?

AuntieMaggie · 10/09/2008 21:33

Nestle have had a bad reputation for years. Have a look here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nestl%C3%A9#Controversy_regarding_Nestl.C3.A9

oh i know it's not news auntie maggie, but they have been doing it for years & despite international outcry appear to have no intention of stopping.

why am i not surprised. As we say in this house, 'that's capitalism'

morocco · 10/09/2008 21:47

rampant out of control capitalism with no laws to hold it back, though, madlentileater, so the worst kind

Madlentileater · 10/09/2008 21:52

is there another sort?

SoupDragon · 10/09/2008 21:55

Why would they want to get mothers to buy the coffee creamer rather than their formula milk though?

liath · 10/09/2008 22:08

I'd guess that becuase it's cheaper it's than proper formula it therefore sells more and overall makes more profit.

singingtree · 10/09/2008 22:19

glad you posted this hc. it's so so awful (it's shreddies btw)

Eirlys · 11/09/2008 04:00
