What boycotts/changes/discoveries have you made?

I've started this thread, rather than keep hijacking the Nestle one!

Since downloading the Ethical Shopping app (thanks Rach ) i've discovered that my beloved Mum deodorant is no good It's made by Procter and Gamble who do animal testing on dogs and cats

Also, the one and only brand of lipstick that i've ever worn for the last 10 years is made by Loreal, who also do animal testing on dogs and cats So last night i threw them all out, and i had 12 of them!

You're welcome!! That sucks though I'm using up all nasty products but then never buying them again. I wish I could buy all new but at the moment I can't...awesome that you are doing it though!!

Razors was a shock but the biggest change...Barefoot Radlers!!! Because they're owned by Kirin Grrrr, I loved my BFR's

Secretly pleased they don't have wine on the App...

CQ!! One of the first things i checked was Carlton Dry Fusion Beer!!

Forgot, i made the switch for DS from soy milk to rice milk

Completely gutted though that my favourite hot chocolate is Nestle It's the same one you get in hotel rooms and i've been waiting for years for it to be available in supermarkets. It only came out a couple of months ago and i was so excited!

I remember when the founder of the Body shop (who sadly passed away) sold to Loreal, very sad day indeed!
Chocolate!!! I bought some cadbury today as they now advertise on their packaging 'Fair Trade' product.
My DH has vowed never to eat chicken again unless he knows for sure how it was treated in the first place after watching a documentary on SBS duirng the week.
I do my best to try and buy at farmer's market's and so on.
Will check at the ethical trade and see what else I need to do.

Is that all Cadbury now or just a certain type of choc they produce?

How exciting if it's all of it!!

Mmmm, I wonder which hot choc is ok??

You can make hot chocolate the old fashioned way - cocoa and sugar in milk. Heat and stir and remove just before boiling them chuck in a few drops of vanilla )gotta source a fair trade cocoa for that though lol)
I used to buy and awesome hot chocolate in a dark brown and gold tin that was organic and fair trade. It was a bit expensive which was a good thing because it stopped me from drinking much lol.
