Law in some countries isn't the best Maz and there are companies like Nestle ready and waiting to pounce on the holes that let them get away with it. Hence why people like us - consumers - need to speak up and vote with our feet. My feet say no damn Nestle! It is very hard when they own or part own so much, like Ski yoghurt, The Body Shop, Loreal, San Pellegrino, Vittel... so many unsuspecting brands. But it's worth it. If consumers can bring a big company like this to its knees, what does that say about people power vs the big corporates.
Yes there are sustainable plantations but Nestle want til 2015 to change from what they are using - thats pathetic! Its not just about palm oil either. People are reaching out to these poor orangutans but hey, what about the millions of dead babies that die? The water thing where Nestle sells public water and sues those who oppose their practices? All the other scandals that got out due to employee whistleblowers, for which we should be forever grateful. Without them, we'd know so little about these terrible companies.
