    It's awful, it really is. It makes me want to say words that would probably kill my mother if she heard them.

    I know I've posted about it before, but I got caught up with Nestle as a teen. I was on a student exchange and living in Bolivia. I had the opportunity to do some volunteer work, so I signed up straight away. I gotthere and found out that my job was... handing out cans of Nestle powdered milk. Prior to headng of for Bolivia, I had been part of the Nestle boycott. But, being 16 and in a country where I didn't yet know the language very well, I didn't really have the gut to speak up. So I contributed.
    But it became clear how easy it is to see it as "help" and how popular governments and other agencies can be if they try to stop it.

    I've been in Africa and other 3rd world countries, I've seen the damage Nestle do.

    I make a conscious effort to not buy Nestle products.

    No way do I believe Nestle...and I feel so much better for not putting money in their pockets. At least I hope I'm not...they own so many companies.
