peppermit crisp i havent had it in ages but my mum uses it to make her peppermint icecream

thats a lot of stuff but i know we dont have any of it in the house coz we mostly buy black and gold and i have no idea where that comes from probably not very ethical either who knows

The Wiki list doesn't seem to include Australian brands they own. I'll check out their Australian website...

Adding:
ALLEN'S Lollies
KIT KAT
Nestlé Classic Bars
NESTLÉ CLUB
NESTLÉ Mint Pattie & GOLDEN ROUGHXXX Mints
ALLEN'S 25% Reduced Sugar Lollies
MILKYBAR
SMARTIES

That's the confectionary list.

And the Australian website lists Uncle Tobys and the like as well. It's the address you'd expect. The Wiki list is taken from their global site and it doesn't seem to include the brands from all individual countries.

Squid it's got a warning very large letters when you click on the link. You scroll down at your own education/peril... It's confronting yes - & it's what happens to these beautiful creatures so some of us can wash our hands...

[BellyBelly]

Thats why its even more important - they think we cant do without them and are untouchable. We'll see...

So does this article mean that Ski still sort of belongs to Nestle? Nuts. I thought Ski was good again.

[BellyBelly]

Nope even in the supermarket, I saw today that Ski is branded with Nestle.

[Nelle]

Stuff and poopery. We get Jalna anyway (and ah me the price for healthy food!). But I like to have OPTIONS!

[BellyBelly]

Yup - I think cheaper options often means cheaper/more unethical ways to obtain supply which then has to be mass produced = mass destruction.

[Inanna]

Paris Creek is yummo scrummo!!!
Jalna....

Ski is full of crappity crappolla!!! Nestle are saving your liver - it's just a brighter way of looking at it my gorgeous friend! :

I have trouble reconciling myself to an anti-Nestle stance because I was really happy with the NAN formula I gave DD and if for some reason breastfeeding didn't work out with my next baby NAN would be my first choice. It was a great product.

I'd feel a bit hypocritical boycotting Nestle now.

And for those who think they can't possibly make any difference, the FB campaign (started by Greenpeace) has resulted in this:

Lost in all the mud-slinging and finger-pointing is news that Nestlé has made a remarkable about-face. In a clarifying statement, it says it will no longer do business with Sinar Mas, the Indonesian forestry company Greenpeace accuses of mowing down rainforests and peatlands and replacing them with palm-oil plantations.

And then:

Its Facebook fan page is now in the hands of its biggest critics who are calling for a boycott of Nestlé products. And halfway across the world, Indonesian palm oil planters are threatening to boycott Nestlé as well for cutting ties. Meanwhile, Greenpeace looks genius for taking the attack to Nestlé on its home turf, drawing into the fray Nestlé's 90,000-plus fans.

Maybe they'll hurry up on their 2015 no-palm-oil timetable!

And Curly, my DP is known as the former Kit-Kat-lover-turned-orangutan-lover-instead. I don't think we've successfully boycotted every brand, but we do what we can.

Why single out nestle on the palm oil thing? Many many companies use it in their products!

I understand the formula thing, but to just single out nestle on the palm oil thing is wrong, maybe it should be changed to a palm oil free easter.... rather than nestle free, that way you not only boycott nestle, but every other company still using this product.

Nestle is one of the biggest food producer/manufacturers in the world. If they change a practice, it will change everywhere.

There are other companies which have already signed up not to source palm oil from orangutan habitat. Nestle could make a huge difference if it followed suit.

Someone told me (a health practitioner, who it was escapes me now) that babies are best on goatsmilk formula if any, because its closer to the structure of human milk than cows milk. Maybe try that?

Woohoo!!!
