Does MNHQ still subscribe to the boycott?

I've always been proud that MNHQ was happy to stand with the Nestlé boycott but recently I've noticed a few things sneaking in. line adverts to Nestlé products and did I really just get an email about a Body Shop competition? If you're no longer boycotting I must have missed the thread about that but either way can you clarify?

Hi there,
Yes we boycott Nestle and companies and brands which Nestle controls - ie owns 50% or more. I believe Nestle only owns minority stake in Body Shop - 30%. They have small investments in literally hundred of companies, not to mention pension fund investments so we've always said the simplest thing is to go with this definition. Agree it's not perfect but it makes the point whilst still being workable.

@confuddledDOTcom

how about the emails containing recommended products that are actually Nestlé and the adverts for reviews that contain Nestlé products. I know you can't stop people reviewing and recommending but you're using those then to advertise your site. I get the point about Body Shop but the rest still doesn't look good as a boycott supporter.

Btw why are emails and PM not being answered? I tried both to report dad.net being plastered all over your shares and no one replied or even read my messages.

That sounds like an error our side Confuddled - which email was it? could you try to dig out? Thanks.
