Can't, can't, can't boycott Lancome

Or Um Bongo.

why?

Nice perfume.

Sorry, DS only eating Cheerios for his breakfast at the moment.

Oh dear - I am going to have to rip up half my shopping list and re-do all my 'favourites' lists for internet shopping.....
Any exceptions for pregnancy cravings LSLGJ
?

No, I meant why at to Nestle, not your perfume madam!

Cool I've been boycotting Nestle without even thinking about it. Dont buy any of these things.

Did you watch that Fair Trade programme the other day LGJ?

Missed it.

I can't give up Lancome. Sorry.

Phew! Thought you were querying the Um Bongo.

milky bars - NO
jellytots - NO
shreddies & cheerios - NO

the rest - no problem!

Because they sell formula?

I have some Lancome upstairs and when that is gone that is it.

Made me feel really bad about some of my shopping habits. Anyway, they had a good old go at Nestle. (How do you do a fancy 'e'?)

Becuase they are flooding the developing nations with formula, which mothers are then making up with some times with dirty water and children are dying.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that 1.5 million infants die around the world every year because they are not breastfed. Where water is unsafe a bottle-fed child is up to 25 times more likely to die as a result of diarrhoea than a breastfed child.

That is why a marketing code was introduced in 1981 to regulate the marketing of breastmilk substitutes. Companies continue to violate its provisions - see examples here. Find out how Baby Milk Action works to stop them and how you can help

Isn't the problem the water, then? Maybe we should campaign Nestle to contribute to a project to get them clean water. Nice positive PR for nestle.

That being said, I don't really use any of these products.

Its disgusting Nestle have been doing this for many many years.
When i was at school i tried to get others aware and was on a mission to get mates to boycott their products (sweets etc)..It has enraged me I usually boycott anyway possibly just as a second nature now.

However do have Lancome foundation was ignorant to the manufacturers

Would never buy nescafe, and used to be perplexed when celebs like Ian Wright would advertise Nescafe and other products.

Aero and Branston pickle are the only things on that list that let me down (sure I can find substitues easily enough though).

I'm very proud that when my 3.5 yearold dd comes to the supermarket with me she says (without prompting), at teh cereal and coffee aisles, "we musn't buy nestle, mummy, they are yucky and naughty"

For those who don't know about the Nestle boycott, there's some information \link{http://www.ibfan.org/english/issue/overview01.html\here} that makes interesting reading, and might help to explain why some people feel so strongly about it.

There is also information at \link{http://www.babymilkaction.org\Baby Milk Action}.

I don't use any of those products. I always found Lancome overrated.

There seem to be even more products/brands linked to them if you look at this list -

Nestlé UK Product List (main brands)
IMPORTANT NOTE: We list all products from which Nestlé profits. So Libby's and Nestlé ice cream are listed because, although Nestlé sold the company, it continues to receive payments for use of the brand name. We welcome new information regarding changes in ownership, but please remember that headline stories about brands being sold do not usually give all the details of the deal. We only remove a product from the list when we are reasonably confident that all links to Nestlé have been cut

Items marked with an * are either part-owned by Nestlé (such a L'Oreal and Cereal Partners, a 50:50 joint venture with General Mills) or have been sold but there is an arrangement by which Nestlé continues to profit from them (such as Rowntrees jelly).

Branston Pickle, Crosse and Blackwell, Fox's Glacier Mints, Gales Honey, Sun Pat, Sarsons and Tartex may appear on old lists, but no longer have any link to Nestlé. Findus and Haagen Daz have no link to Nestlé in the UK.

Some brand names below link to reports in our Boycott News newsletter giving more explanation.

There is a report on own brand cereals manufactured by Nestlé's Cereal Partners business in Boycott News 32.

I am addicted to their eye cream. Well, I guess I'll just have to go back to looking like a gecko.

Will have to wean DS3 off cheerios and DS1 off Nesquik. Eek!

It will probably get worse too as there is talks of them closing the factory down in York which will mean cheaper production in other countries.
