gina ford endorses 'netmums'

no way!

that's it, i'm de-registering now!

wasn't h. harman meant to be talking to mn ?

Miaou! Will email you, my love - glad the jeans are comfy

Ironic really that the aforementioned parenting guru backs a parenting site that endorses Nestle, who flout the law

Slightly off topic i know but does anyone know where to find a list of products nestle produces. Sometimes I have brought something to find it is a nestle product and have thought "0h bugger, I am supposed to by boycotting you". And I am off to deregister from netmums too, not that I actually ever use it to be honest.

Sorry, just found it on the babymilk action site.

match made in heaven really....

List of Nestle products and brands here

ummm, GF is pro bf

how disappointing.

those two endorsements are enough for me... am off to de-register too.

God I had no idea it was so many ideas. Nver knew about bottled water for instance

sorry, so many items

Thread about Nestle not GF.

I won't talk about her on here, suffice to say, CD, it's not that simple.

or maybelline.... [guilty]

Shame on them.

Am off to deregister and send them an email.

netmums sells out - can't say I am shocked (ex-member)

bastards!

If it was being sponsored by Nestle baby foods then I'd be shocked. That would be insidious advertising.

However, the sponsor is another brand that happens to also own a baby food brand. Yes, Nestle have violated the international code regarding marketing of formula, but then so have all the other major baby food manufacturers (I know, I've just read the IBFAN report). The original reason for the Nestle boycott (v aggressive marketing of formula in 3rd world countries) is no longer the case.

I don't see the point in a continuing Nestle boycott myself, and I certainly don't condemn netmums for being sponsored by a coffeee company. some of the companies who own brands advertised on mumsnet will be dodgy if you dig hard enough.

Have just had a look at the statement from nestle to Netmums members...it's the usual 'we're not evil, we're a cuddly corporation' cap but this bit made me PMSL

'Infant formula is the only product recommended by the UN?s Food Standards Board as a suitable alternative to breast-milk - in many cases it saves lives.'

Well dur....what else is an alternative? Beer?!

This blody Nescafe boycott thing has been going around since well before I first went to college (over 15 years ago) and nothing has changed ... I do wonder what the bloody point is!!! (runs for cover)

lol coweyes!
