Can I ask why these products should be avoided?

[krysalyss]

Nestle has a history of giving formula to women in Third world countries and encouraging them to formula feed over breastfeeding. Many of these women then lose their milk, can't afford the formula (especially well-balanced formula) and their babies die or have severe nutritional deficiencies.

[Liz]

Yeah.. it's just standing up to a VERY unethical company, who have their dirty little fingers in so many brands and products! It's a boycott that has pretty much been going on since the 80's isn't it? Unfortunately the boycott doesn't seem to affect them much... but I prefer to not pump money into their pockets.

There are 2 products that I continue to buy, but otherwise I do my best to avoid Nestle. And it's amazing just how much has their stamp on it! It pretty much leaves you with 1 or 2 choices of icecream, yoghurt etc.

[Phteven]

What Kysalyss said. They give free formula to women who don't need it in order to create a market. Because women in developing nations might not have access to clean water and the means to sterilise equipment formula can cause diseases which are often fatal.
Some women try to save money by feeding formula at half strength this leads to nutritional deficiencies/starvation.

[Phteven]

For icecream try the Weis brand. OMG!! It's icecream heaven. No nasty additives and it comes from QLD. It costs a bit more but IMO it's better to pay extra for quality.

[kirsty_lee]

Ahhh, thank you for explaining that girls! I thought it was an uproar cause it was all going american or something. WOw.. well from looking at the list there really isn't anything that i buy from them. With maybe the exception of Milo for Ava as a treat...And Maggi Macaroni... What can I substitute Milo with? that is the same without the sugar etc

[Jennifer13]

I think Uncle Toby's have recently been bought by Nestle. Also check Country Cup (the soups).

[LimeSlice]

I dont buy Milo anymore anyway - they have been openly using GM products for several years now

Heard something about Aktvite recently...will see if I can dig it up.

[Lulu]

, please don't take the Akta Vite away...

[Marlene]

As long as Cadbury is ok....I'm happy! Will miss my Nestle Rolo chocolate

[Phteven]

, please don't take the Akta Vite away...

There's still sippah straws (although they use lots of plastic).

[Astrolady]

We've just turned to Aktavite (thanks Christy) for Ashton's intolerances. Before that we were a milo family. I wont mention the 1kg of Nescafe coffee I brought today. LMAO. Was on special so stocked up

[Gigi]

i heard recently, that NESTLE bought THE BODY SHOP (trying to "buy" a brand that has environmental credentials - well it did when Anita Brodderick owned/ran it).

When i was signing petitions in the early 90's, the story about NESTLE was that they used substandard, unsafe by western standards formula, instead of destroying it, they sold it to third world women. That's why there was such an uproar. ANd it was done in places without a good water supply, so on many many levels, it was really harmful to the children to drink, plus if there mothers could no longer get water, that meant the children had nothing to drink.

big thanks to Falguni for putting this list here, to kick this thread off.

i struggle too, with what to replace MILO with.

[Janie]

I prefer AktaVite to Milo, it's yum!!!

[Bathsheba]

We've only ever bought Cadbury's Drinking Chocolate.

Thanks for making this a sticky.

[Olive]

kat, the coffee, was that was my fault??
