Please Stop Using Nestle Products if Infants Impact Your Life

shut up!

a lot of people in africa don't have the same education resources as a lot of us do. they really don't know...

 

MaryJBlaze has it right here, by far...

You want to help those babies and mothers in afrika? Then fucking help them. Get off your fat asses and go fucking help. Send them money, go over and actually physically help, vote for people who want to help...

There are people dying of starvation over there, that includes mothers and their kids and you want to punish companies that are doing something to help? What was the last thing you did to actually HELP them?

To be clear. I am 100% in favor of breastfeeding over formula, but when the mothers don't get enough nutrition for themselves, their babies die with no supplements.

Next you will be saying that we should boycot companies that go over and build them wells, because they are drilling holes in the planet....

When someone tries to help, you don't slam them for their efforts, you applaud them. If what they are doing isn't something you can appreicate, try to help them find a better way that you can appreciate...

This idea of stating a problem and saying it needs to be fixed without actually offering a viable solution that works in the real world is worse then doing nothing.

 

If its such a big problem, you would think most women would learn from other womens mistakes. You don't need a proper education to understand this cause and effect situation.

 

back around 1700 or so people breast fed out of need. Now these days it seems like it is easier to just go to sprawl-mart and buy formula. However there will be a huge public backlash from those loser ass right wingers.A lot of times some woman couldnt nurse their young and then they got turned over to what was called a "wet nurse". Good luck with the breast feeding though as it does deliver many anti-biodies and other goodies from the mom!

 

This strategy that Nestle employs: of giving free formula samples to women began in the 70s. The strategy preys upon the fact that most recipients of these free samples
a) don't know that their breastmilk will dry up if they are not breastfeeding.
b) have been convinced that the formula is healthy for their infant and their breastmilk is not (when actually the inverse is probably true).

So this Nestle boycott began in the late 70s early 80s. So then Nestle offered a public capitulation and promised to abandon this practice. The boycott was called off, and then they kept right on doing the same thing, and continue to do it.

The same lack of morality that they demonstrate with this strategy also shows up in their bottled water lines where they are continually draining public aquifers pouring it into plastic containers and exporting it for sale.

The book Toxic Sludge is Good for You by Sheldon Rampton and John Stauber has a whole chapter on Nestle and just a little bit of research can turn up case after case of Nestle lying in court and just not caring about the world. They are definitely at the top of the list of companies to be boycotted in my opinion.

 

I never understood why people would choose to feed formula to their kids in the first place.

You could take every scientist in the world, get them together and have them study breast milk, and replicate it exactly and I would still say the same thing.

We don't know everything.

We don't know if there is some substance, particle or even energy that we can't detect in breast milk.

If we can't detect it and don't know about it, we can not replicate it.

On that basis alone, I have always been in favor of breatfeeding over formula.

That in no way means that there is no place for a replacement formula, just that it should always be a last resort, not a starting option.

As for Nestle, they are no worse then any of the other corporations around, they will do anything to make sure their bottom line looks good, period.

 

What a convoluted issue. Firstly, me and Jane, my wife, have 2 children she was not able to breast feed because of heart medication she required during both pregnancies. Both of our children are fine, score above average in school and are well mannered. To this day Jane says she regrets not being able to breast feed and I fail to grasp her need for such self torture.

As for Nestle, first of all, breast milk doesn't just "dry up" in a day or so even in equatorial Africa. Most baby formula can add fat to a child fast and fat is exactly what they need when they are developing. I refuse to believe there's some sinister plot to trap African mothers into "Formula Slavery" or to discourage breast feeding for corporate gains in a 3rd world (4th world?) living environment. Seriously, how much could that market really be worth to them compared to all those fat American babies? So if it's not Satan and it's not Greenbacks, what is it?

Also, after both of our children my wife was visited by the La Leche League, people who literally lobby for breastfeeding at nearly all cost. They are also VERY anti-formula for reasons I don't understand. Both times they told Jane, my wife, she should quit the cardiac drugs so the children get their best start. Rubbish, the drugs she was on had a long slope and were in her system 6 months after she stopped taking it. I wonder how many babies have been endangered by this kind of amateur advice for the sake of a cause?

"I wonder if we should boycott UNICEF for giving all those kids rice for decades and ruining the balance of local farming which was clearly doing the job fine without outside meddling." Really now?? Does that even sound like it makes sense? GJS


Post numero uno (let the feeding frenzy begin)
