Whats the Nestle "hate" all about?

So is "So Good" Sanitarium soy milk fermented or unfermented?

Soy milk is not fermented soy.

Maz, I read and read and read and read. The farming stuff I know because that's my life LOL. I read stuff from both sides, because there is often so much conflicting evidence but reading both sides will give you a broad enough view of it to form an opinion

I was pointed to the baby milk action website by a midwife friend, and read it thoroughly. I also read the Nestle site and their statement regarding the accusations. They try to defend themselves but I just don't buy it, the evidence against them is overwhelming.

Great. I just read the soy thread. DS was diagnosed as lactose intolerant but it was due to being on 3 consecutive courses of anti-biotics So then he was on lactose free milk. But then the MCHN said that that was no good for him and he'd be better off drinking soy milk. So he's been drinking soy milk, sometimes up to 700mls a day, for about the last 12 months!

Maybe you could switch him to rice milk? I know Christy makes her own now because that is what her girls have. but like I said in that other thread, you can source calcium from sources other than milk, so you could at least try to cut down on it so he isn't having as much?

I so dont want him having it anymore . He calls it his "nice". He loves it. Im going to buy rice milk tomorrow and try to switch it. I've tried giving him normal milk but he wont have a bar of it. He's not lactose intolerant anymore. He just got used to having soy I wish i'd just used rice milk from the start.

WOW... thank you so much for starting this thread. I too had no idea about why Nestle was boycotted

I have only just started in the past few months to become 'aware' and I am facinated by some of these posts, alI I can say is I am going to start reading a lot more about ethical living. Thank you.
