Oh - I thought everyone knew! Basically Nestle heavily promote their processed
baby milk in third world countries. Parents there, wanting the best for their
children *believe* the adverts - it comes from the West - it must be great
right? As a result a lot of third world children are dying, not from
malnutrition, but because they don't get the natural antibodies or whatever
from the breast milk that they would have done otherwise. (1)
As it's such a blatant example of a corperation manipulating an uneducated
market, and killing people while doing so, a lot of people are angry at them
and call for a boycott of Nestle products.
I first mentioned it in reference to consumers not always educating themselves
about a product or corperation, so how can they be expected to regulate
corperations behaviour? (Not as a personal tirade!)
